RASC News Agency: Local sources in Panjshir have revealed that the Taliban have ordered the evacuation of several residential homes in Onaba district, allegedly to establish military bases for al-Qaeda fighters. On Saturday, December 10, sources reported that residents of Dashtak village have been instructed by the Taliban to vacate their homes. The sources further indicated that the Taliban have taken this action to facilitate the construction of multiple military installations for al-Qaeda in the Dashtak area of Onaba district. In addition, they have issued ultimatums to several public facilities, including a sports complex, a library, and other administrative offices, demanding their evacuation by the end of the year.
Earlier this year, in October, The Telegraph reported citing opposition groups and anti-Taliban fronts that al-Qaeda had constructed nine training camps and ammunition depots within Panjshir. Reports also highlight that Hafiz Hakeem Agha, the current Taliban governor of Panjshir, has longstanding ties to al-Qaeda, with alleged close connections to Osama bin Laden. The forced displacement of Tajik communities from northern Kabul, particularly from the strategic regions of Panjshir, has been a recurring tactic within Afghanistan’s ethnonationalist agenda. This policy, now shrouded in the rhetoric of enforcing Islamic law, represents a calculated effort to marginalize non-Pashtun populations.
The blueprint for such demographic engineering dates back nearly three decades to the controversial book The Second Saqawi, authored by proponents of fascist ideology in Afghanistan. This plan, once theoretical, is now being realized under the guise of implementing Islamic Sharia law, marking a grim chapter in Afghanistan’s ongoing ethnic and social injustices.
