Ismatullah Mujaddedi, a former advisor to the National Security Council and son of ex-President Sibghatullah Mujaddedi, has returned to Afghanistan from Turkey after nearly five years.
The return was facilitated by the Taliban Commission for Contact with Afghan Personalities, also referred to as the Commission for Relations with Afghan Personalities. Mujaddedi expressed happiness about the welcome he received upon his arrival.
The commission announced the development on its X account.

Reliability assessment
Two independent sources corroborate the core event of Mujaddedi's return via the commission, with direct attribution to the commission's public announcement. Amu TV adds contextual background on the commission's purpose and UN reports on amnesty implementation, but this does not affect the verified fact of the return itself.
The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. Amu TV: "despite the Taliban's announcement of a general amnesty" and "documented cases of arbitrary arrests, torture, mistreatment, and even the killing" – these phrases introduce contrast and negative judgment against the Taliban by highlighting alleged violations contradicting their amnesty claim.
