KABUL (Pajhwok): Deputy minister of public health in the previous government Faizullah Kakar has returned to the country from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Commission to Contact Afghan Personalities (CCAP) announced on Tuesday.

Kakar, who also served as head of republic office and Afghan ambassador to Qatar, landed at the Kabul International Airport on Monday morning, CCAP wrote on its X handle.

Born in the solar year 1329 in Faryab province, Kakar received a bachelor’s degree in Biology in the United States and did his master’s in Toxicology from the Indiana University.

He earned a PhD in Epidemiology from the University of Washington.

After the regime change in August 2021, some Afghan personalities and government officials fled the country. Many of them have returned to the homeland through this commission.
