These individuals, former employees on the US payroll during the occupation of Afghanistan, served as agents, informers, and translators. Originally intended to be settled in the US or Europe, their relocation got delayed due to resistance from their respective governments. The US, under a changed policy, deliberately kept these individuals in Pakistan, with the PDM government consenting during their tenure as an obligation for regime change.
This strategic move by the US serves a dual purpose. Firstly, by keeping these individuals in close proximity to Afghanistan, they continue to serve US interests, whether as informants or agents. Secondly, any misadventure or blame can conveniently be directed towards the Afghan Interim Government or regarded as routine accusations against all Afghans. Essentially, these individuals are acknowledged as US agents officially stationed in Pakistan.
