Afghanistan
Taliban Detain 24 Bamiyan Residents Based on Claims by Another Individual
2023-09-16
[8am] Local sources in Bamiyan
...a place in Afghanistan that used to have some historically interesting statues of the Buddha carved into a mountainside. Then the holy men showed up and now all they have is some big holes...
are reporting that the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
have detained 24 residents from one of the villages in the center of this province, based on the claim of ownership by another individual.

According to sources, on Wednesday, September 13th, Taliban security forces in Bamiyan detained at least 24 residents of the village of Righshad in this province at the request of an individual named Alam Shah, who belongs to the Pashtun ethnic group.

Sources state that Alam Shah has falsely claimed ownership of this village, and for nearly a month, he has blocked transportation routes for 500 families from the Righshad village.

According to sources, this individual has demanded six million and seven hundred thousand Afghanis from the village residents as a condition for reopening the roads.

This situation arises after Abdullah Sarhadi, the Taliban governor for Bamiyan, illegally and unilaterally settled legal disputes between the villagers and the nomadic Kuchis
...pastoral Pashtun nomads who have been granted free passage and land use rights since the Pashtun kings ruled Afghanistan. About 2.5 million of them follow the traditional migration route up and down Afghanistan, contesting land ownership along the way, all strong supporters of their fellow Pashtuns, the Taliban...
in favor of the Kuchis during the month of July this year, without following the proper legal and judicial procedures.

Based on information from sources, Sarhadi has appointed nearly 10 Kuchi members to the commission for resolving disputes between villagers and Kuchis in the center of Bamiyan, and he unlawfully settles major legal disputes in favor of the Kuchis through them.

Furthermore, yesterday, two residents of this province were also detained in the village of Rashk for failing to relinquish their personal lands to Taliban members under the orders of the Taliban governor in the village.
