Another $40 Million Cash Package Reaches Kabul, Taliban’s Central Bank Welcomes Move

According to these sources, Rahmani has been transferred to an unknown location and his fate is not clear yet.

Ismail Rahmani received a master's degree in Shariah studies from Kabul University and has been a religious scholar.

Supporters and some Pashto writers have expressed concern about Rahmani's arrest and asked the Taliban to release him immediately.

Last week, the Taliban arrested social media influencers Sadullah Didan, also known as Haji Kaka, in Nangarhar province and Imran Ahmadzai in the capital city, Kabul.

On Sunday, the Taliban intelligence agency released a video clip of the forced confessions of these two Afghans, who admitted to anti-Taliban activities on their social media pages that have not been posted.

The group has released the other arrested individuals with the mediation of local elders, but they have kept Moradi imprisoned.

The sources said that Moradi is being tortured during the Taliban detention.

It has been said that these people had been arrested by the Taliban after a flag of the National Resistance Front (NRF) had been hoisted in Dare Zindan village of Samangan Province.

The Taliban has accused Moradi of collaborating with the NRF forces. However, Moradi's relatives have said that Moradi has no affiliation with NRF forces and had not been aware of the people who hoisted the flag in Dare Zindan village.

Pakistani forces said that on Monday morning, the Taliban started shooting at a Pakistani force outpost at the Torkham border crossing.

The Taliban have not reacted to the reports of the gunfight yet, but the representative of the Taliban for Torkham announced the closure of the Torkham border crossing between Afghanistan and Pakistan on Sunday evening.

Mohammad Sadiq, the Taliban official in charge of Torkham border crossing told Bakhtar news agency, that the Pakistani side did not fulfil its obligations and therefore, the Taliban closed the border crossing.

This Taliban official, who was speaking at the graduation ceremony of a religious school in Kabul, added that the unity of the Taliban has been a secret factor for the success of the group.

Stankzai said, "We have pledged allegiance to our Amir [supreme leader]. Whatever decision he makes, we consider it obligatory to obey it.”

The deputy foreign minister of the Taliban also added, "The Americans spent millions of dollars to create a rift among the Taliban members, but they did not succeed."

Recently, there are talks about differences and rifts in the leadership of the Taliban.

Earlier, Sirajuddin Haqqani, the Taliban's interior minister, had criticised the monopolisation of power in the leadership of the Taliban and said that such behaviour is unacceptable.

Mullah Yaqoob, the Taliban's defense minister, has also said that pride and arrogance should be put aside and the will of the people should be accepted.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus announced that none of these immigrants had a valid visa for Belarus.

Recently, many Afghan citizens have chosen Belarus as a way to enter Europe.

After the takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban, thousands of Afghan citizens fled the country. Many such individuals died in an attempt to reach Europe through illegal routes.

On Friday, the Ministry of Interior of Bulgaria had announced that the bodies of 18 Afghan refugees had been found in the country.
