The Taliban executed scores of Afghan security forces members after surrender, HRW report alleges
Source: CNN
The HRW report detailed "the summary execution or enforced disappearance" of 47 former members of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF), including military personnel, police, intelligence service members and paramilitary militia, who had surrendered to or were apprehended by Taliban forces between August 15 and October 31.
HRW says the report is based on a total of 67 interviews, including 40 in-person interviews with witnesses, relatives and friends of victims, and Taliban fighters. Some people were granted anonymity by HRW for their report. In some cases, families report stories of people who simply disappeared.
The findings of the investigation would make a mockery of the Taliban's previous claims to the international community that it would lead a more inclusive government than it did two decades ago. Its leaders had promised a reprieve for those who collaborated with US forces during the American presence in the country.

He wanted to end Afghanistan so bad he threw the Afghan Army under the bus by releasing 5000 of their enemies. Why? To brag about it.

This is life and death, and fear of death is the only thing that can reign in the Taliban at this point.
If they agreed to not execute people, we don't have to agree to not attack them.
War baby.
Justice matters.
