Terrorists carry out public executions
The Taliban have introduced an amnesty for all members of the former Afghan government, in particular former President Ashraf Ghani and Vice President Amrullah Saleh. High Taliban leader Khalil ur-Rahman Haqqani announced this on August 22. According to him, if politicians decide to return to the country, they will not be persecuted. Meanwhile, new evidence comes from Afghanistan of atrocities committed by a terrorist Taliban banned in Russia.

В In an exclusive interview with Pakistan's Geo TV, Haqqani stressed that among the Taliban, the country's former president and other officials who have left Afghanistan, there is no animosity. So if they still want to return to the country, they will not receive retaliation.
“We forgive Ashraf Ghani, Amrullah Saleh and Hamdullah Mohib (National Security Adviser. – MK ), he said, adding that the animosity between the Taliban and all three arose solely for religious reasons. “” As far as we are concerned, we forgive everyone, from the general to the common man. “
Haqqani also said it was not the Taliban who started the war against the United States. According to him, the members of the group decided to take up arms only after the Americans “invaded their homeland to fight against their culture and religion.” However, the Taliban still won a “huge victory” over its enemies, especially given the fact that the Afghan army numbered about 350,000 troops, and according to him, it also gained support from the US and NATO.
According to the high representative of the radical Islamist movement, the Taliban really wants all Muslim countries to reconcile with each other. In addition, Haqqani called on all countries in the world to ensure their citizens' proper rights, and said that an “inclusive government” would be formed in Afghanistan. “The Afghan government in Afghanistan will be formed by very capable and educated people,” he said. “It will involve people who unite the masses.”
In addition, one of the group's leaders called on Afghans fleeing the country not to spread propaganda that the Taliban would take revenge. Haqqani promised that all nationalities living in the country could feel at ease. “The Tajiks, Baluchas, Khazars and Pashtuns are all our brothers,” he assured. “All Afghans are our brothers, so they can return to the country.” The only reason for our hostility was the desire to change the system. Now the system has changed. “
However, the human rights organization Amnesty International recently reported that the Taliban recently killed several members of the Afghan ethnic minority – Hazaras living in Ghazni province. Human rights activists noted that the incident was “terrible evidence of militant rule.” However, when some of them returned to buy food, they found their houses looted.
A report by the Human Rights Group states that the Taliban shot at least six Hazaras and tortured another three. One of them, 63-year-old Jaffar Rahim, had eye muscles cut, according to eyewitnesses, and tried to strangle him with his own scarf. The man was accused of working for the Afghan government after cash was found in his pocket.
40-year-old Sayed Abdul Hakim was again taken out of his house by gunmen and beaten with sticks and a machine gun. Then his hands were tied and then shot. Two bullets hit the leg, the other two – in the chest. His body remained beside the creek …
There were reports from Afghanistan that the Taliban had begun looking for Afghans to help the United States and NATO. The secret document of the Norwegian Center for Global Analysis, prepared for the UN, informs about it. The militants allegedly have a list of addresses of people who have cooperated with foreign forces.
Earlier, Afghan media and social media users reported that militants in Kandahar had publicly executed four commanders of the Afghan national army. TOLO News Muslim Shizrad tweeted that the execution took place at a local stadium. Among the victims is Commander Hashim Regwal, who is close to the former head of the provincial police, General Abdul Razak, who was killed in 2018.
The journalist published a video showing a large crowd of people. Voice-over also claims that residents were gathered for public execution. According to the Afghan media, militants with Razak's supporters have a long-term score. It is noted that he was particularly cruel to the Taliban.
We recall that on August 15, the Taliban announced the establishment of control over the entire territory of Afghanistan. The militants said they would soon announce the creation of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, and also demanded the withdrawal of foreign troops from the country.
President Ashraf Ghani resigned the same day and left the country, which he explained as a desire to avoid bloodshed. The Afghan leader admitted defeat to his government in a post on his Facebook page. According to initial data, the politician went to Uzbekistan with his wife and two advisers. Other sources say the president flew to Oman or Tajikistan. According to a spokesman for the Russian embassy in Afghanistan, Ghani fled the country with cars loaded with millions of dollars that did not even fit in his helicopter.
The UAE Foreign Ministry later confirmed that the Afghan leader and his family were in the country. The ministry said the former head of state, who had fled Afghanistan, had been accepted for humanitarian reasons. Ashraf Ghani himself denies exporting a huge amount of money from the country, claiming that he only took with him the clothes he was wearing.
Despite the fact that the fugitive president has announced that he is consulting to return home. However, as a politician whom the Taliban called an American “puppet,” it was more appropriate for him to wait for time in a foreign country. Because the Taliban's guarantees are hardly worth much.
An eloquent example is the story of an Afghan brother who worked as a translator for the Americans. The man was accused not only of helping the United States, but also of ensuring the safety of his brother, who was translating for the US military. Several threatening letters were sent to the poor man. “You are accused of helping the Americans,” the Taliban wrote in the first of the reports, adding: “You are also accused of ensuring the safety of your brother, who was a translator.” The second handwritten letter is a notice of his absence from the hearing. In the third letter, the Taliban informed the man that by refusing a previous warning to stop “serving the invading crusaders” and ignoring the summons to a hearing, he was found “guilty in absentia” and would be sentenced to death. . “These court decisions are final and you have no right to object,” says the third letter. “You have chosen this path for yourself and your death is inevitable.”
