Taliban Assassinate Former Local Commander in Balkh Province After Detention
[8am] Local sources in the province of Balkh report the liquidation of a former government commander by the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men...in this province. Local sources stated to the Hasht-e Subh Daily on Saturday, August 12, that Sakhiudin Rahman, also known as Sakha, a local commander of the former government in the Kishindih district of Balkh province, was detained by Taliban fighters 15 days ago during a raid on his house. According to sources, after this many days, Sakhiudin Rahman’s body was discovered buried under the ground in the center of Kishindih district by residents last Thursday. Sources add that despite carrying the Taliban’s general amnesty letter and being busy doing hard labor after the group’s takeover, this commander was killed by the group. This comes as last week, one of the former government commanders who had returned to the country with the mediation of Nizamuddin Qisari through the Taliban’s Commission for Engaging with Personalities was assassinated by the group in Sar-e Pol province.
