Divine Mission to Kill؟ Shocking and Controversial Remarks by Jumah Khan Fateh in Badakhshan.
Jumah Khan Fateh, Taliban district chief of Nusay and self-proclaimed governor of Darwaz, announced that he is “ordained by God to kill.”
These remarks, which have attracted widespread attention locally, have once again put him in the spotlight.
Local sources say Fateh was already known for his strict measures and violent actions in Badakhshan.
Many residents view his statements as a direct threat to the safety of officials and former military personnel.
Fateh is accused of suppressing opponents, pressuring Ismaili followers to change their beliefs, seizing private property, and exploiting gold mines.
Locals report that his influence has created a climate of fear and rising social pressure.
His name has previously been linked to drug trafficking across the Afghanistan-Tajikistan border.
Documents from a Tajik government delegation to Kabul allege that Fateh runs an organized network for smuggling heroin into Tajikistan and importing alcohol into Afghanistan.
These developments coincide with increasing insecurity along the northern borders, raising concerns about growing killings and organized crime in the region.
