Anas Haqqani, a member of the Haqqani network and a political figure of the Taliban, recently claimed in an interview that with the announcement of a “general amnesty” after the fall of the republic, the Taliban made history and are proud of it. He has asserted that after taking control of Afghanistan, the group established security across the country instead of seeking revenge.
