#Infighting between the #Taliban in Taluqan City, the capital of #Takhar Province reported today.
No confirmation/rejection of the news by the Taliban is available yet.
Video and Photos of the incident are unverified and copied from the open sources. Image
While some pro-Taliban SM accounts wrote that the clash in Taluqan was between the Taliban&ISKP (Daesh) loyalists, but trusted sources from the area told me otherwise.
A group of (model 2021) Uzbek Taliban, last week, attacked Takhar prison&released their friends (ex-militias)...
...the #Taliban were looking for those culprits. Today they found them and a clash erupted, that resulted in some casualties (from both sides, several killed&wounded).
Ex-governor of TB for #Takhar, Mawlawi Nuruddin, was the guarantor of the group which clashed with the TB today.

1/5 Today I met several #Afghans working in #Istanbul,sorting and collecting garbage.They arrived recently,via #Pakistan and #Iran,after dozens of days of walking. In Turkey, they hold no residence permits&live in constant fear for being arrested.They can’t even get a bus pass...
2/5 ...certainly no rental contract and they can’t enter many shops as this requires a passport-linked barcode these days due to Covid - which they can’t register for because they are “illegal”, they tell me. “Illegal”, a term usually attributed to an action, but to a human?
3/5 They have little happiness in Turkey, they say:no family around, minimum income, grieving the loss of friends&family members-yet they say that at least they were able to escape war.Their first act in our conversation was kindness: the offer of a plastic cup of Fanta.
