The Afghan government reached a peace deal with the most influential armed group in the country after the Taliban.

Under the agreement, Hezb-i-Islami must renounce ties with the Taliban.

In exchange, its fighters will have immunity for any past crimes.

It’s yet to come into effect, but already there’s anger - especially from those who lived through the conflicts with Hezb-i-Islami.
