It is better to be in your own homeland, in your own Paghman.\u201dHe extended the same invitation to Mohaqiq, Khalili, Atta Mohammad Noor, Dostum, and others, stating firmly: \u201cCome.<\/p>\n<p>I guarantee that no one can say anything against you.\u201d Delawar added that the enemy of Afghanistan is common to all and seeks to create obstacles to the country\u2019s progress and development.At the event, dozens of returnees received immunity cards.<\/p>\n<p>Some of those who had returned called for the creation of job opportunities and economic prospects to help them reintegrate smoothly into society.Mirbat Khan Mangal, a former member of parliament, expressed his happiness and said: \u201cI am very pleased.

I tell everyone else to come back as well.\u201dAccording to statistics from the Commission for Contact with Afghan Personalities, more than 1,300 immunity cards have been issued so far, of which over 1,000 individuals have already returned to Afghanistan from abroad.<\/p>\n<p>The commission was established by decree of the leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Its goal is to facilitate dialogue, provide a safe environment for the return of former political, military, and civilian figures, and support national reconciliation and reconstruction efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Officials say the program is part of broader initiatives to promote national unity and reduce past tensions.<\/p>\n<p>Delawar stressed once again that the return of these personalities could contribute to stability, economic progress, and <a href=\"https:\/\/kabul-24.com\/en\/over-50-surge-in-rail-fuel-imports-from-russia-and-belarus-to-afghanistan-and-central-asia-in-q1-2026\/\">Afghan<\/a> unity, guiding the country toward a better future.<\/p>\n<p>He assured that, except in cases involving personal rights claims, there would be no pursuit of past actions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A senior official of the Islamic Emirate has invited prominent leaders from Afghanistan\u2019s previous governments to return to the country, describing Afghanistan as a common homeland for all its citizens. kabul 24: Shahabuddin Delawar, head of the Commission for Contact with Afghan Personalities, made the appeal during a ceremony in Kabul for distributing immunity cards [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":24617,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-world"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
