U.S. Pushed Afghan Government To Release 5,000 Taliban Prisoners, Many Of Whom Are Now Terrorizing The Country

Last year, the United States reportedly urged Afghanisation to release 5,000 Taliban prisoners — many of whom are now terrorizing the nation.

Violence in Afghanistan is rising as the United States seeks an end to its two-decade war in the region. For the past several months, Taliban forces have seized much of the country and executed Afghan military officials who once aided American troops.
