Local sources in Kandahar have reported the disappearance of a Taliban member named Zia-ul-Haq, known as Abdullah, who hails from the Kajaki district of Helmand. He has been missing for over a month and a half, leaving his family with no information regarding his whereabouts.
Reports indicate that prior to the Taliban’s return to power, he was active in the Zhari district. His family confirmed that he last communicated his presence in Kandahar before vanishing, raising questions about his fate in the group’s traditional stronghold.
Observers suggest this incident highlights internal structural instability and fissures within the Taliban ranks. The inability to secure the safety of their own members in a core province like Kandahar casts doubt on the group’s claims of maintaining security across the country.
