Haqqani calls on those who left country to return home
The Minister of Interior Sirajuddin Haqqani called on Afghans who have left the country to return home and support the current system.
In a voice message published on social media on Wednesday night, Haqqani said Afghans outside the country should see former politicians, including former president Hamid Karzai, as an example and trust their judgment.
“Those who left the country, if they don’t trust us, Dr. Abdullah, Hamid Karzai, and Gulbuddin Hekmatyar are here. You have spent time with these people, so trust your elders, support the government, and return home,” said Haqqani.
Experts however said that the Islamic Emirate should make more effort to create an atmosphere of trust for the return of those who are outside the country, and provide economic and intellectual security to those who are in Afghanistan in order to prevent the continued migration of the Afghan elite.
“It would be good if the conditions are paved for those who are abroad to return home in order to take part in the development of their country,” said Khalil Ahmad Nadim, a political analyst.
