Taliban urges Afghan government employees to return to work

2 days after the Taliban captured Kabul, the militant group on Tuesday urged the Afghan government employees to return to work in an effort to bring back normalcy in Kabul.

Taliban declared a general amnesty urged everyone to restart their normal lives with confidence.

The Taliban also urged women to join its government.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid tweeted that the situation in Kabul was completely under control and law and the order returned to the city.

Zabihullah reiterated that life and properties of people were safe as there are reports that the Taliban has arrested about 200 individuals involved in the looting of government properties and vehicles.

The Taliban leadership has ordered its members and “once again instructs them that no one is allowed to enter anyone’s house without permission. Life, property, and honor of none shall be harmed but must be protected,” Mujahid said.

Late on Monday, flight operations of military transport planes had resumed from the Kabul airport and dozens of flights were conducted, according to residents living nearby.

The flights were evacuating foreigners and some of their Afghan workers.
The flight operations were suspended on Monday morning after thousands of Afghans gathered near the airport to escape Kabul.

Taliban members on Monday took control outside the Kabul airport while thousands of US forces were inside the airport helping to evacuate the crowds.

At least 10 Afghans were reportedly killed in the stampede and shooting inside the airport within the past 2 days.

On Monday, the offices of the Afghan Public Health Ministry and the Kabul municipality were reopened.

Wahid Majrooh, acting minister of public health, appeared together with Taliban public health representatives in TV footage, urging medical workers to return to their jobs, including female medical employees.

Small shops were also reopened around the city while banks and business centres mostly remained closed as of Tuesday morning.
