Reintegration In Afghanistan Hinges On Fate Of Turncoat Taliban

Mullah Noorul Aziz: "We have to live peacefully here because we are the sons of the soil. He [Karzai] promised to share with us whatever is available to him and his people. [He promised] that we will have cars, houses, and jobs like people now siding with the government. [He said] their open embrace is waiting for us."

In many ways, the fate of the government's reintegration effort lies in the fate of Aziz who just earlier this year had been appointed the Taliban's shadow governor of the northern Kunduz Province.
