RASC News Agency: The assassination of the deputy of the Chamber of Commerce and Investment in Nangarhar province by unidentified assailants has sparked concern among local Taliban officials. The incident occurred on Wednesday, October 18, in the city of Jalalabad. Agha Mohammad Rodwal, who held the position of deputy for the Taliban group in Nangarhar province, fell victim to the attack.
The mysterious nature of the assassination has left authorities puzzled, as no individual or group has come forward to claim responsibility. Taliban officials in Nangarhar province have chosen to remain tight-lipped about the details surrounding the killing, adding to the air of uncertainty and speculation.
What is particularly alarming is that this incident is part of a growing trend of targeted assassinations carried out by anonymous perpetrators across multiple provinces in Afghanistan. Just recently, another unidentified individual was killed in Farah province, adding to a list of unsolved murders.
The fact that these acts are occurring despite the Taliban’s supposed control over the country highlights a significant gap in security. With the absence of proper legal mechanisms to address criminal cases and the lack of a formal institution to handle these matters, criminals have found it easier to carry out such horrific acts across the nation.
It is evident that the Taliban’s claims of overall security in all provinces are being contradicted by the ongoing occurrences of their own members falling victim to acts of violence orchestrated by unknown assailants. The situation raises questions about the effectiveness of the Taliban’s control and the challenges they face in maintaining security and order within the country.
