Interagi if reports from @NagiebK up in Mazar: all calm, and checkpoints manned by local guys from rural Balkh (Turkmen, Tajik, Uzbek etc.). A very few Kandaharis.
Clear that the Taliban have been excellent as using those local cleavages to recruit all over country.
Wonder what happens when/if the Southern Pushtun reassert control. Will they? What degree of autonomy will locals get in the new world?
Reminder: checkpoints mean money
What will Taliban local government look like? Keep following @NagiebK for updates
