As the #Taliban continue to claim moving #TTP fighters to western #Afghanistan, TTP fighters have been confirmed in northern AFG, today the head of district intelligence of the Taliban’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GID) can under attack in #Badakhshah province.
For those unfamiliar with #Badakhshah provincial borders… 
Another important factor to keep in mind is the #geological value of #Badakhshah province.
This is of key importance to #China’s investment into minerals in #Afghanistan.

Apparently, there are both @CIA and #ISI fingerprints on this.

According to our sources, these recently launched police raids and detentions seem to single out migrants from #Tajikistan, leaving the rest of the Central Asian migration community largely untouched.
With its criminal war in Ukraine, the brutal nature of the Russian regime should come as a surprise to exactly no one: This video, shared by Tajik sources, reportedly shows Russian law enforcement brutalizing Tajik migrants during the ongoing crackdown.
🛰️ New @bellingcat interactive map shows changes in buildings after #Kyrgyzstan-#Tajikistan border clash in 2022. Apparent damage to civilian infrastructure & property increases concern over impact on civilians. Explore the map: bellingcat.com/news/2023/05/2…
How we did it: Using Google Earth Pro, NASA FIRMS, Planet Labs satellite imagery & media footage, we assessed affected areas, highlighting changes in buildings, possibly due to clashes.
Our findings: Changes observed in 379 buildings in 11 villages & 1 city in Kyrgyzstan, and 19 buildings in 4 villages in Tajikistan. The map offers a starting point for researchers to identify areas impacted by the clash.
In five years, #JoeBiden will likely get the #NobelPeacePrize. But not because he did anything proactively for peace.
It is because a #Multipolar World will be more peaceful than a unipolar one, and Biden has done more than anyone else (albeit unwittingly) to further that. (1/n)

The lack of desire to be in the CSTO is expressed not only by #Armenia and #Kazakhstan but also by #Kyrgyzstan. Bishkek has a grudge against the Russian leadership because of #Putin's unwillingness to pacify #Tajikistan within the framework of the CSTO.

Let's talk #Russian #nuclear strategy and why that's relevant to recent developments in Russia's war in #Ukraine.
First, Ukraine has made major territorial gains, especially around Kharkiv. This has put a lot of pressure on Putin. 1/23

This has hit his international standing and was on display at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting in Uzbekistan. Putin was publicly put down by Modi and Xi, and today Erdogan also chided him - they all had the same message: the war must end. 2/
On top of that, other Central Asian nations didn't treat Putin with the respect that he would normally expect. Not to mention the added instability along Russia's borders with fighting btw #Armenia - #Azerbaijan, and #Tajikistan - #Kyrgyzstan. 3/
