Some interesting reports coming out of #Afghanistan over the past few days:

- roughly 2,000 #Taliban suicide bombers have been moved to the #Iran|ian border since the end of May.
- #ISKP has also started moving their fighters to northern #Afghanistan, according to sources within an anti-#Taliban group. They are being moved to #Badakhshan, #Takhar and some others.

Apparently, there are both @CIA and #ISI fingerprints on this.
- #Taliban are moving its fighters closer to the #Tajikistan border. Fighters are also moving to the #Badakhshan province, bordering #Tajikistan.

- #TTP have become so emboldened to expand their operations around #Pakistan, including new waliyats in #Balochistan & #Punjab.

Salafi community in AFG:
1. The #Taliban #dismissed many university&public schools/Madrassas professors/teachers in several provinces, including Paktia, Paktika, Khost...on charges of #Salafist precedents or assuming that they are, even though they did not show any affiliation... Image
2. TB preventing #women from attending mosques to pray or teach the Quran.
Note:
In an audio clip attributed to the TB's ministry of Hajj& religious affairs, Imams in all AFG are instructed to close girls' Madrassas located in mosques' compounds& prevent women's entry to mosques. Image
3. The Taliban's district governor with armed men, on Wednesday, closed a private Salafi Madrassa, "Al-Dawah ila al-Quran wal-Sunnah", for boys and appointed pro-TB teachers for girls' wing of the same Madrassa, in Shuhada District of #Badakhshan, a province with Salafi majority. ImageImage

The #NRF spokesman claimed liberating Shokai District of #Badakhshan, from the #Taliban, today.
No independent source confirmed the collapse of the district.
Taliban didn't comment on the issue yet.
Talking to a local source, he confirmed that an attack by NRF, today morning, resulted in some casualties to the TB but:
- District didn't collapse.
- District governor was (slightly) wounded (not abducted).
- TB's famous commander, Juma Khan Fatih, is now in the district center.
While the Taliban officially didn't comment on the developments in Badakhshan's Shakay District yet, NRF released a photo that is allegedly showing the TB's district governor in the NRF captivity.
Meanwbile, @RahimLaghmani has another version of the story.
