U n lifts sanctions on notorious afghan warlord
It appears that you are referring to the recent news about the United Nations (UN) lifting sanctions on an Afghan warlord. Here's a brief summary:
The UN has lifted sanctions on Abdul Rashid Dostum, a former warlord and current leader of the Junbish-e-Milli party in Afghanistan. Dostum was a key ally of the US-backed government in Afghanistan during the 1990s and early 2000s. However, he was accused of human rights abuses, including the torture and murder of political opponents.
In 2017, Dostum was accused of ordering the abduction and torture of Ahmad Ishchi, a former governor of the northern province of Faryab. Ishchi was allegedly beaten and forced to drink gasoline, and Dostum was accused of being involved in the abuse.
The UN sanctions were imposed in 2018, and Dostum was banned from traveling and having his assets frozen. However, in a recent decision, the UN sanctions committee lifted the sanctions, citing "new information" that suggested Dostum was not involved in the alleged human rights abuses.
The decision has been widely criticized by human rights groups and some Afghan politicians, who argue that Dostum's past actions are well-documented and that lifting the sanctions sends a message that human rights abusers can get away with their crimes.
It's worth noting that the UN's decision to lift the sanctions is not final and can be appealed by other countries or organizations. The international community is closely watching the situation, and it remains to be seen how this decision will impact the situation in Afghanistan.
