Amid escalating internal tensions in Badakhshan province, local sources confirm that the Taliban administration has deployed hundreds of special forces from Panjshir and several other provinces to Badakhshan. According to these sources, the deployed units include army and intelligence personnel and have now taken military positions along the Shighnan-Darwazha axis.<\/p>\n
Based on received information, these forces moved toward the Darwazha area, the stronghold of Jumma Khan Fateh, after entering the Shighnan district early yesterday morning. It is reported that the Taliban leadership is preparing a large-scale, multifaceted operation; a move that has heightened concerns about the potential outbreak of armed conflict.<\/p>\n
Jumma Khan Fateh, the local Taliban commander in Badakhshan, who had previously stated he would not initiate armed clashes, is currently present in the Nusay district alongside his forces. Sources report that he has established 24-hour checkpoints in the areas under his control, indicating increased state of alertness between the two sides.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Taliban administration has set up several security checkpoints along the Darwazha route and intensified efforts to disarm local forces. According to available information, weapons belonging to Taliban-affiliated forces in Badakhshan, which are not part of the official units, are being collected; an action that reflects deep mistrust and division within the organization.<\/p>\n
Local reports from Shighnan district also indicate that due to the large number of deployed forces and a shortage of accommodation in military facilities, some units have spent the night inside the central hospital building of Shighnan, occupying spaces intended for patient care. This situation has raised concerns among locals regarding patients’ access to medical services.<\/p>\n
Given the concentration of forces and deployment of military equipment along the Shighnan-Darwazha axis, the security situation in Badakhshan is reported to be highly fragile, with the risk of clashes between Taliban factions remaining imminent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
