I don't think there is anything suspicious about the fact that for some years the admin contact was not contactable but that he has now been located.
To be blunt if I was the person listed as being in charge of the Afghanistan country code while the Taliban were in power I'd be going into hiding also and not answering my e-mail.
With a change to a more benign government and presumably a local rather than IANA search for him, no surprise he was located and agreeable.

I agree there is nothing at all inherently suspicious about the chronology. And, since there's consent from the incumbent, I don't think this is a precedent for government control -- all that other stuff is what lawyers call dicta, and regular people call fluff. Or, at least, that's the best way to treat it.
But, it's always a good time to ask -- given that the assent of the incumbent is the key to most legitimate re-delegations -- what burden should "IANA" shoulder in such cases to satisfy itself that the consent is real? (And, in cases of conflict and skullduggery [icannwatch.org], uncoerced?)
