Local sources in Badakhshan province report that the Taliban government is attempting to dismiss Juma Khan Fateh from his position in the Darwaz region. This move follows escalating disputes over the control of lucrative gold mining operations in the area.
To manage the crisis and execute an arrest warrant, senior Taliban officials have arrived in Faizabad. Ghulam Allah has been proposed as a replacement, but ongoing negotiations with Fateh in the district have not yet yielded any results.
Fateh remains a highly influential figure in Badakhshan, claiming to command thousands of armed men. The province has repeatedly witnessed internal conflicts between local commanders and the central leadership over resources and power.
