RASC News Agency: Reports from Nangarhar province confirm that a Taliban fighter was hanged by unidentified individuals in Khogyani district. Sources on Thursday, January 23, revealed that the incident occurred two days prior. According to these reports, the Taliban member, identified as Safiullah, was found hanged in his own residence. The motives behind the act and the identities of the perpetrators remain unclear. The Taliban authorities in Nangarhar have yet to issue any statement regarding the incident. This event comes just two weeks after the body of another Taliban fighter, known as “Bora,” was discovered under suspicious circumstances in the same district. These developments underscore the deteriorating security conditions for the Taliban themselves, who continue to boast about their supposed success in maintaining law and order.
Over the past three years, the Taliban’s oppressive rule has provoked widespread discontent among the Afghanistani population. Their draconian policies, characterized by systemic injustice and human rights violations, have bred resentment and driven some citizens to retaliate in various ways. These incidents are emblematic of the deep-seated frustration and anger felt by Afghanistanis, who are increasingly unwilling to endure the Taliban’s authoritarian governance. They serve as poignant reminders that the Taliban’s reign is neither unassailable nor permanent and that their oppressive actions will likely lead to their downfall.
It is important to highlight that the Taliban’s systematic oppression has been justified under the guise of religion, ethnicity, sectarianism, language, political ideology, and personal interests. Operating without accountability to any institutional or legal framework, they have alienated the very people they claim to govern. These recent events in Nangarhar reflect a growing defiance among Afghanistanis, who are determined to resist the Taliban’s tyranny and assert their demands for justice and dignity.
