Taliban Letter Reveals Order to Dismantle Two Security Posts in Kunar
Bilal Sarwari, an Afghan journalist, has released a letter purportedly from the Taliban administration in Nuristan province. The letter reports on the assessment of a delegation from various sectors of the Taliban who visited Nuristan. It emphasizes that the police command in Kunar province had established two security posts within Kunar territory that must be dismantled.
According to the document, one of the posts is located in the Demgalik area and the other near Tang-e Nanglam. The delegation’s assessment states these two posts need to be removed, and the issue has been forwarded to the Taliban’s Ministry of Interior for further decision-making.
These developments come amid earlier Pakistani military attacks along the Durand Line, which led to the closure of routes leading to the Barg-e Matal and Kamdish districts of Nuristan province. The road closures have disrupted the delivery of services and transfer of essential supplies to local residents.
Despite mentioning the security posts, the letter provides no explanation regarding the impact of the Nuristan road closures or how the Taliban administration is managing the situation—issues of urgent concern for the area’s inhabitants.
Furthermore, no details have been disclosed about the timing or manner of implementing the order to dismantle the posts, and Taliban officials have yet to comment officially on the matter.
