Taliban Forces Afghan Immigrant To Return To Kabul, Then Kill Him At His Residence

The Party asked anti-Taliban forces to form a united front against the group.

In a statement on Friday, the party said that the relocation of these people is based on a “complex regional and international intelligence project” amid at transfer of terrorist groups to Central Asia to fuel proxy wars and change the ethnic demographic of the region.

Afghanistan National Liberation Party said that the transfer of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) fighters to the north of Afghanistan is against the country’s national interests and causes ethnic rifts and grounds for partition of the country.

Recently, dozens of families were relocated from the border areas of Pakistan and southern Afghanistan to the northern parts of the country. Earlier, the spokesperson of the Taliban confirmed that refugees from the North Waziristan region are being transferred to some parts of Afghanistan.

In a video clip, the disgruntled Taliban commander, expressed that another commander Malek Khan who was also from Panjshir and had joined the Taliban at the outset of the group’s reign in Afghanistan, joined the National Resistance Front (NRF) due to the "ignorance and stupidity" of the Taliban.

Commander Malik and several of NRF forces were killed in a battle with the Taliban in Dare Abdullah Khel of Panjshir province.

Khorasani, who has been constantly expressing his displeasure with the Taliban, accused the group of bigotry and ethnocentrism in a series of video clips he posted on his Twitter account on Friday.

He said that the Taliban "usurped" his house and properties on the order of senior group’s officials while they threatened and insulted his family members.

Khorasani said that members of the Tajik ethnic group, who are also from Panjshir province, are not slaves and hostages of the Taliban.

Khorasani added that he has been tolerant of all these Taliban insults, and if it was anyone else, they would have "either destroyed himself or taken revenge on you".

He asked the Taliban to stop prejudice, discrimination, and ethnocentrism.

Earlier, Mawlawi Mahdi, a Hazara commander of the Taliban, cut off ties with the group and stood against the group for what he called discrimination and ethnocentric policies of the Taliban.

The Taliban announced last year that Mahdi was arrested and killed while trying to escape Afghanistan at the Iranian borders.

Patrushev warned that Afghanistan’s situation is a threat to the security of Central Asian countries and Russia.

Taliban has banned the production of drugs in Afghanistan, but still the group has been reporting the seizure of drugs in different parts of Afghanistan.

Afghanistan's neighbouring countries have also reported the seizure of drug shipments from Afghanistan.

On Friday, at the meeting of the secretaries of the Security Council of Central Asian countries and Russia, which was held in Kazakhstan, Patrushev expressed concerns about the instability in Afghanistan and considered it a threat to Central Asian countries.

In a similar stance to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Patrushev claimed that the United States and Western countries support "terrorists" to destabilise Central Asia.

The British foreign office stressed that travel across Afghanistan is extremely dangerous.

According to FCDO, there is currently no British consular service in Afghanistan and the ability to provide consular assistance is severely limited.

The UK foreign office has also warned that there is a heightened risk of detention of British nationals in Afghanistan. According to the statement of the FCDO, the British Government may not be notified about such detentions; communications with next of kin may not be guaranteed; and detention may be lengthy.

In March 2023, the Daily Mail had reported that the Taliban had detained three British citizens.

Since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, this is the second time that the UK has asked its citizens not to travel to Afghanistan.

The British Foreign office had warned British citizens last year to refrain from traveling to Afghanistan due to high security threats.

Mawlawi Sayed Abdul Jabir Takhari, Taliban’s General Consul in Karachi, said that currently, 282 Afghans remain in prisons in the Sindh province.

In a video message, the Taliban official announced that 2,380 Afghans have been released from Pakistani prisons.

Takhari asked Sindh province officials to stop the arrest of Afghans who are visiting the country for medical purposes and release Afghan citizens from the province’s prisons.

In recent days, the Pakistani police has increased pressures on Afghans and have detained many of them in various locations inside the country.
