Moral corruption at high levels of the Taliban; symbolic treatment of the president of Balkh University.
Internal Taliban sources have confirmed that Maulvi Zia-ul-Haq Karimi, the former president of Balkh University, has been removed from his position due to committing an immoral act.
According to a released video, Karimi is seen talking to security personnel about the presence of a girl in his house.
According to sources, this incident happened some time ago, but after it was exposed, the only change that took place was his transfer to another position in the same university.
This reactionary treatment has once again intensified criticism of the lack of accountability in the structure of the Islamic Emirate.
Some say that such behavior not only undermines public trust, but is also a sign of a double standard in dealing with corruption among the group’s officials.
In recent years, similar cases of moral corruption among Taliban officials have been reported, but they have often ended without prosecution or serious consequences.
