Taliban Senior Leader: "President Ghani Pardoned... Return Also Allowed"

[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Jo] A statement from a senior Taliban leader has been revealed, saying that the Taliban has pardoned Ashraf Ghani, the Afghan president who evacuated abroad.

According to Pakistan's Geo News on the 23rd, Khalil Alrahman Hakani, a senior Taliban leader and head of the Taliban-affiliated group 'Haqqani Network,' stated in an exclusive interview the day before, "We have pardoned Ashraf Ghani, First Vice President Amrullah Saleh, and National Security Advisor Hamdullah Mohib."

He also mentioned that they have decided to allow President Ghani to return. President Ghani fled abroad to the United Arab Emirates after the Taliban advanced into the capital Kabul.

Hakani continued, "Enemies are spreading propaganda that 'the Taliban will take revenge,'" emphasizing, "Tajiks, Baloch, Hazaras, and Pashtuns are all our brothers. All Afghans are brothers and can return to their homeland."

He added, "An inclusive Afghan government will be formed," and said, "Highly educated people will form the Afghan government, and those who unite the public will participate."
