Local sources in Dawlatabad district of Faryab province say that the security situation in this area has become worrying after the violent suppression of Uzbek protests.
According to local sources, local residents who protested against the Taliban’s actions and ethnic discrimination have been threatened by the group’s armed members.
It is said that along with Taliban fighters, a number of armed Pashtuns also played a role in this suppression.
Local residents say that the Taliban want to silence the voice of the people’s protest through intimidation and threats and bring the area under complete pressure and control.
According to sources, the Taliban have recently transferred fresh armed forces from outside to Dawlatabad.
Currently, the security situation in the Dawlatabad district is reportedly tense, and many people are concerned about the possibility of further ethnic clashes and repression.
Local activists have called on human rights organizations and international media to pay attention to the situation of Uzbek residents in the region.
