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.
Photos of homes that the Taliban stormed into substantiates claims of systemic terror and brutality. People have reported missing family members, broken doors and windows, stolen pieces of jewelry, and important documents and papers.
At the moment, there is no indication of ending what looks like an ethnically-motivated campaign of terror against northerner Tajiks of Kabul. What is happening in Kabul requires systemic documentation and reporting.
