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.

Over the last 48 hours, the Taliban regime has terrorized more than a million Tajik residents of Kabul. The victims are mainly from #Panjshir, #Parwan, #Kapisa, and other northern provinces. The Taliban militias have surrounded multiple districts, breaking into houses, beating
ordinary people, confiscating people's belongings, and investigating families at gunpoint. No one in the surrendered localities is allowed to leave. Multiple sources in Kabul, which I talked to, confirm the indiscriminate brutality of the regime's militias that
, in most cases, are ethnically charged and motivated. The regime's militias, primarily rural Pashtuns in their early 20s who "cannot speak a word of Farsi," use ethnic slurs, derogatory language, and excessive violence against victims.
