Tensions over gold mines in Badakhshan province have led Juma Khan Fateh, the Taliban deputy governor of Zabul, to agree to disarm his unofficial armed men. This decision was made following a meeting with the Taliban army chief of staff to resolve local conflicts.
Reports indicate that after the arrest of Musa Kaka, a local commander loyal to Fateh, by Taliban intelligence, his followers have scattered across the province. This dispersion has caused significant security instability and fear among residents in several districts of Badakhshan.
High ranking Taliban officials and local representatives have held meetings to address this ongoing crisis, but no concrete results have been achieved yet. Local residents are demanding the appointment of native people to government offices in the province.
