Afghanistan: Former Afghan minister returns to Kabul at Taliban invitation

KABUL, 09 June 2022, (TON): A former Afghan minister, who fled as the Taliban took over Afghanistan last year, returned, following security assurances given as part of the hardline group’s initiative to woo back high-profile individuals.

Taliban officials said “Ghulam Farooq Wardak, a member of the cabinets of former presidents Hamid Karzai and Ashraf Ghani, is the latest in a string of returning officials.”

Wardak had returned from Turkey, said Ahmad Wasiq “the spokesman of a body set up by the Taliban to negotiate the return of high-profile Afghans abroad.”

Other officials to return included a former spokesman for the defence ministry, the former head of Afghanistan’s national power company, and some military officials.

While Reuters could not immediately verify the return of the others, Wardak spoke to state-run media after landing in Afghanistan.
