Malik Tatar Moves to Dushanbe Following Increased Targeted Killings in Iran.
Informed sources confirm that Malik Tatar, a highly controversial figure who opposed the Taliban during Afghanistan’s republican era, has traveled to Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, in response to a recent surge in targeted killings and serious security threats in Iran.
According to the sources, this sudden relocation was necessitated by a significant increase in threats and targeted attacks that created an extremely tense and threatening environment for former Afghan commanders living in Iran. Malik Tatar was compelled to leave his previous residence to ensure his personal safety.
Sources indicate that due to his long-standing anti-Taliban stance, Malik Tatar has faced continuous security threats and has consistently lived under significant personal risk.
In recent months, he openly criticized political and military leaders living abroad, accusing them of “indifference to the fate of former soldiers,” which, according to local observers, has heightened sensitivities and increased the risks to his security.
Despite these developments, Malik Tatar has not made any official statement regarding his sudden departure and relocation to Tajikistan, leaving observers and the public awaiting clarification about his future plans and intentions.
