Local sources report that Juma Khan Fateh left Kabul last night and was seen this morning in the Kohistan district of Badakhshan province. This move coincides with escalating clashes between the Taliban administration and opposition groups in the province.<\/p>\n
A source claimed on Saturday, July 24, that he managed to leave Kabul by paying a large sum of money. According to this source, he is expected to reach the village of Joy-Dara in the Nusay district today.<\/p>\n
Sources also allege that this movement was coordinated with the Taliban administration and that Juma Khan Fateh may be used in the ongoing battles against the opposition. This development could potentially widen the scope of security tensions in Badakhshan.<\/p>\n
In recent days, the level of fighting has increased in several districts of Badakhshan. Previously, the Afghanistan Liberation Front announced that in battles against Taliban forces in the Zibak district, at least 21 Taliban members, including several commanders, were killed.<\/p>\n
Badakhshan, located in the northeast of the country, has witnessed repeated armed clashes between the Taliban administration and opposition groups over the past months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
