Kabul (BNA) Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in a goodwill move released from the prison about 900 prisoners of Taliban.
BNA social affairs analyst commenting on the issue writes Mohammad Ashraf Ghani the president of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan recently after saying Eid prayers declared that about 900 prisoners would be released. He related the freedom of these prisoners to the decisions of consultancy Loya Jerga (great assembly) held in Kabul on April 29.
Islamic Republic of Afghanistan released the prisoners of Taliban in a time that the political process of Afghan problem is speeding up and consultations for political solution of the problem will be made either in Germany or Doha.
Afghan government is trying to form a domestic gathering and considers it as an effect way for ensuring peace and meeting national goals. So far for hitting those goals or objectives has taken specific measures that clearly indicate that the president’s office is serious for ensuring peace.
President Ghani in advisory Loya Jerga as a goodwill move instructed for the release of 179 Taliban’s prisoners and now instructed for the freedom of another 900 Taliban from the prisons.
The above measures taken by the state can increase the atmosphere of trust and strengthen the process of peace negotiations.
Although the state measures have been following with great optimism, also have its critics.
A number of state critics believe that the liberty of Taliban can boast their battle fronts. Hamid Karzai the former president in the last months of his rule also released a number of Taliban from the state’s prisons, unfortunately the majority of them return back to Taliban’s battle fronts and fought against the state.
The jailed Taliban had been arrested with the cost of Afghan and foreign forces blood, but only for encouraging Taliban to join peace process have been released.
The Afghan authorities understand the concerns of people the government is committed for establishing a lawful community and will not do anything to fill the battle fronts of Taliban once again.
The release of Taliban naturally takes place in a strategic framework; the strategy using the previous experiences has been adopted that limits the number of released Taliban who return back in to Taliban’s battle fields.
On the other hand the freedom of Taliban from the prisons gives lesson humanity to the leadership of the group and teaches them that Islamic Republic of Afghanistan is seriously and honestly working for ensuring peace and building an atmosphere of trust in the country and meets its commitments.
