History: In July 2004, remnants of the AMF as well
as groups which had never joined the AMF were declared illegal (Presidential
decree 50). It was estimated that there could be up to 120,000 persons,
operating in over 1,800 illegal groups, which could fall into this
category.
Aims: By aiming to rid the country of parallel
armed structures, DIAG is more than a nationwide weapons collection.
Its ultimate objective is to allow the re-establishment of the rule
of law through the promotion of good governance.
Accomplishments:
In the NAPCE process, 124 candidates handed over 4,857 weapons.
34 candidates were disqualified, while others withdrew their
candidature.
As of 7th March 2007, 29,398 weapons as well as 27,142
pieces of boxed and 264,068 pieces of unboxed ammunition have been
handed over to and verified by ANBP collection teams in Afghanistan.
