It is concerning that the U.S. has lifted bounties on senior Taliban figures, including those responsible for deadly attacks in Afghanistan. The Haqqani network has been responsible for numerous atrocities, and their removal from the Rewards for Justice website raises questions about the U.S.'s commitment to justice and accountability. The decision to lift these bounties could send the wrong message to the Taliban and other extremist groups, potentially emboldening them to continue their violent actions. It is important for the international community to hold individuals responsible for their crimes, rather than rewarding them with impunity. While diplomatic engagement with the Taliban may be necessary for peace and stability in Afghanistan, it should not come at the cost of justice for the victims of their attacks. The international community must remain vigilant in holding the Taliban accountable for their actions and ensuring that justice is served.
