MoRR was initially established as the Office of Reintegration in 1986 and was run by a ministerial committee until 1990. When the
Mujahideen took over in 1992, the Office of Reintegration was renamed and upgraded to the Ministry of Return and Repatriation. MoRR has always been affected by political changes in the country. During the
Islamic Emirate, it was reduced to a directorship and merged with the
Ministry of Works, Social Affairs, Martyrs and the Disabled.
After the fall of the first Islamic Emirate and the establishment of a transitional government in 2001 based on the international
Bonn Agreement, the office was once again upgraded to the Ministry of Return and Repatriation. In December 2024, the acting minister
Khalil Haqqani was killed alongside five others by a suicide bombing in Kabul, the
Islamic State later claimed responsibility. ==Ministers==
