Operatives of the new Taliban government in Kabul are still trying to identify and retaliate against Afghans who cooperated with the 20-year American military and reconstruction effort, using everything from fingerprint records to gun records to try to sniff them out and target them for retribution, according to a new U.S. government report.
The former director of criminal investigations for the national police said people came to his home attempting to track down his gun, as the Taliban gained access to official records kept by the previous, U.S.-backed government on firearm ownership. The Taliban has created a repatriation commission reportedly to try to welcome back some who self-exiled, many of whom have technical and management skills badly needed by the country’s new rulers. But at the same time, Afghans told SIGAR auditors that the Taliban are still trying to track down former troops who fought against them.
Neither the U.S. nor the Afghan government ever had the level of commitment or the strategy to forge cohesion, auditors said. But giving up those checkpoints would also be seen as a weakness, so officials were trapped, the report found.
