| Summary |
The deal signed with Hezb-e Islami in September 2016 was the Afghanistan government's first major success at negotiating a peace agreement with an insurgent group. In return for Hezb's renunciation of violence, the government promised to free Hezb prisoners, incorporate former insurgents into the security services, and resettle thousands of Afghan refugees living in Hezb-affiliated camps inside Pakistan. Most prominently, the agreement paved the way for Hezb-e Islami leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar to return to Kabul after twenty years in exile. This new report examines how the deal was negotiated, what progress has been made on its implementation, and what lessons can be applied to prospective peace talks with the Taliban. The deal is a double-edged olive branch: it could lead to greater support from Pashtun old guard mujahideen leaders...and possibly spur direct talks with the Taliban, or it could snap back in new rounds of government infighting. |
