Sources: Taliban-Backed Assembly in Chah Ab Held Under Intelligence Pressure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Residents of Chah Ab district in Takhar province report that a recent gathering with the participation of the Taliban-appointed governor was held under pressure and threats from Taliban intelligence, forcing people to attend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They said the event neither reflected the wishes of local residents nor included representatives of the protesting population.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Local sources stress that many attendees were primarily individuals close to the Taliban, present to chant slogans supporting the group.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to reports, Mawlawi Samiullah Hizbullah, the Taliban governor of Takhar, visited the Semeeti area of Chah Ab with a delegation and organized a ceremony in support of the \u201cIslamic Emirate of the Taliban.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Residents claim that banners and slogan posters were transported from the provincial center of Taloqan, and people were compelled to chant in support of the Taliban under intelligence pressure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This follows widespread public demonstrations in Chah Ab about two weeks earlier, protesting the activities of Taliban-linked companies in gold mining.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The demonstrations resulted in clashes, leaving three residents dead and 16 others injured.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Local sources also report ongoing widespread arrests in the Semeeti area, and residents continue to demand the halt of gold extraction by Taliban-affiliated companies.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
