RASC News Agency: Local sources from Nangarhar Province report the discovery of a young man’s body under suspicious circumstances, marking yet another instance in a series of targeted killings in the region. According to reports, the young man’s body was found on the evening of August 6 in a field in the Qoshtapa district of Nangarhar Province. The victim’s identity remains unidentified, but indications of knife wounds were observed on the body. The young man had been reported missing four days prior to the discovery.
Local Taliban officials have yet to provide any commentary on the incident. This comes amid a notable surge in criminal activities across several provinces in the country. In a related incident, a woman was murdered yesterday in the fourth district of Jalalabad city, Nangarhar Province, by unidentified gunmen who shot her. Reports from various regions suggest that the Taliban have been unsuccessful in maintaining public security, with criminal incidents increasing daily.
Since the Taliban’s takeover, the country has experienced significant disruptions to its economic, social, and educational systems. Poverty has risen, the number of refugees has increased, and girls above the sixth grade have been denied access to education. Despite three years of Taliban rule, no country has yet officially recognized the group due to their extensive human rights violations and repressive policies towards the population.
