Local sources in Badakhshan province report that following recent clashes over gold mines, extraction operations have halted in several areas. A trip by the Taliban government governor to resolve these ongoing disputes unfortunately ended without any successful resolution for the residents.

Taliban government intelligence forces recently arrested a local commander, causing his followers to scatter and creating security instability across multiple districts. Armed forces affiliated with Juma Khan Fateh are currently on high alert in the Nasi and Maimi districts.

Reports indicate that hundreds of armed individuals have retreated to the mountains, raising the probability of internal armed conflicts among factions. Local residents strongly claim that gold rich lands have been forcefully and illegally seized by these armed local groups.
