Local sources: Rumors of the Taliban governor’s move to Kabul have increased the possibility of unrest in Badakhshan.
It is rumored that after the arrest and transfer of Qari Abdul Rahman Ammar, a Tajik Taliban commander, to Kabul, Ismail Ghaznavi, the newly appointed Taliban governor in Badakhshan, left the province this afternoon for Kabul.
According to sources close to the Taliban governor, he has been called to Kabul to attend an important meeting.
The details of the meeting are not yet known, but some sources suggest that the trip may be related to recent developments and increased tensions after the arrest of Qari Ammar.
Local sources have warned that after the arrest of the Tajik Taliban commander, the possibility of intra-group clashes between Tajik and Pashtun Taliban in Badakhshan has increased.
They believe that the security situation in the province may become more unstable in the coming days.
