A former Taliban commander who recently joined the peace process, along with 200 of his men, said on Sunday he will take up arms again if social injustices continue to increase.
The commander, from the Chamtal district of Balkh province, said he has laid down his weapons and will stay at home, unless living conditions get worse.
Kahn Mohammad, the commander, said he has fought against government forces under the Taliban flag for ten years and now believes that anyone who creates trouble for the people, is an enemy. He also called on Taliban members to join the peace process.
