Unbestätigten Berichten zufolge wird im Panjsher-Tal durch die Taliban ein Genozid an der Zivilbevölkerung verübt. Tage nachdem die #NRF (NationalResistanceFront) unter Führung von Ahmad Massoud zum Widerstand gegen die Taliban aufgerufen hat.

Es verbreiten sich unter dem #StopTajikGenocide auch Fake-News. Unabhängige Quellen sehr schwer auffindbar. Fest steht jedoch, aus Panjsher heraus hat sich eine neue Keimzelle des Widerstands gegen die Taliban entwickelt, welche bereits jetzt herbe Verluste einstecken mussten.
*die Exekutionen sollen auch in Takhar, Baghlan und anderen mehrheitlich tajikisch-bewohnten Gebieten stattfinden. Viele sehen darin Vergeltung und „präventive Maßnahmen“ der Taliban frühzeitig Aufstände zu unterbinden. Zynisch.

1. Federal systems are inherently more stable in nation states made up of diverse ethnic and religious groups. #Afghanistan is a clear example of a nation state that would benefit from a federal system.

So there is the claim that the ANA didn't fight as soon as the Americans left. This is untrue. The Americans had retreated widely since middle of 2020 but the Government still held a lot of territory in early 2021.
The Afghan army was by no means strong or well eqquiped and their morale was very low since 60.000 fellowAfghan soldiers died over the last 20 years 8 (And the Americans are only complaining about their 2.000.dead guys🙄😑)
