There are rumors about the start of #Taliban's operation against their dissatisfied Hazara commander, Mawlawi #Mahdi Mujahid, in #Balkhab District of Sar-e Pul Province.
Here is a #propaganda video, showing the loyalists of Mahdi, welcoming him in Balkhab.

Deputy of Mawlawi Mahdi, the most senior commander of the Hazara #Taliban, who has allegedly separated from the group, told BBC that the Taliban forces attacked their home town Balkhab...

Local sources from the north of AFG, shared some details of the #Taliban casualties in #Balkhab operation, with me.
About 14 Taliban were killed&20 more wounded (7 critical) as a result of the Taliban's attack against commander Mahdi in Balkhab yesterday.
Summary of some unverified audio clips from the battle ground in Balkhab:
"The war is fierce in 2 out of 3 war fronts in Balkhab. The fighters of Mawlawi Mehdi are high in number & fighting under the tricolor flag of Afghanistan. The Taliban are fighting under their white flag...
...Uzbek Taliban don't fight but a number of Tajiks and Pashtuns are fighting from Sangcharak and Alburz mountain's directions in Aab-e Kalan region."
#Taliban's Ministry of Defense:
"A few days ago, security forces launched a joint #clearing_operation against insurgents in #Balkhab district of Sar-e-Pul. The operation ended today morning, after all the areas where the insurgents were present, cleared...
Image
...In these operations, none of the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate were harmed and the insurgents fled the area without resistance.
It is worth mentioning that the clearing operation still continues in the remote areas of the district without any obstacles."
#Taliban's Spokesman for the Ministry of Defense:
"Governor of Sar-e-Pul Province, Mohammad Yaqub Abdul Rahman Aka, assures the common people of Balkhab District that the IEA has no problem with them."
Note:
Taliban assured people of Balkhab of no revenge.
A warlord from Hazara ethnicity, Mohammad Mohaqiq, on his FB page condemned the Taliban's military operation in Balkhab District, adding that 10 civilians were killed by the TB in the district. He wrote that the TB succeeded to capture the district center after 4 days of clashes. ImageImageImage
According to TB Governor's spokesman in #Ghor Province, a former Public Uprising Commander, Mohammad Muradi, was #killed alongside 5 more, after he resisted& opened fire.
Meanwhile, Mohaqiq in his FB post said that the victims were #civilians incl. Muradi's female family members. Image
#Taliban/IEA Spokesman:
"The situation in #Balkhab District of Sar-e Pul Province, returned back to normal. No one has been oppressed and the people are calm and safe.
Propaganda about mistreatment of #civilians or casualties to them, is not true."

The #UK #does_not_support anyone, including Afghan nationals, seeking to achieve #political_change through #violence, or any activity inciting violence for political purposes, in #Afghanistan, and will not allow UK soil to be used to plan or prepare it...

and we strongly discourage others from doing so.
To promote peace& stability, to deliver essential humanitarian support to the Afghan people& to address shared concerns on security, there is no alternative to engaging pragmatically with the current administration of Afghanistan.
#Taliban:
"Some #British_nationals were arrested about six months ago for #violating AFG's laws& the traditions of Afghans.
The detainees were #released and handed over to their home country on the basis of an agreement reached after a series of meetings between the IEA& the UK."

#Taliban's Chief Justice in his 300-page book also discussed #Elections. According to him, there is no confirmation for modern democratic elections in Islam& the Islamic nation did not recognize it. "If there was good in it, why would the companions of Prophet (PBUH) ignored it?"
Calling it something imported from the non-believers, Sheikh Abdul Hakeem Haqqani, named five negative aspects of the democratic #elections, as follow:
1. Democratic elections create #disunity and encourage blameworthy tribal, party and linguistic fanaticism among the people.
...
2. #Equal value for the #vote of a wise scholar and an ignorant thug, a man and a woman, a believer and a non-believer...which is against the 'Instructions of Islam'.
3. Spending personal money and public treasury's money in a wasteful manner without a Sharia-based justification.

#Taliban's Governor of Kabul, Sheikh Neda Mohammad Nadeem, while addressing TB officials at a meeting on Sunday, said that the current situation in Kabul is not acceptable to us& we cannot afford to see it in this way.
He said that women are not wearing Hijab& IEA don't force it.
Sheikh Nadeem explained that when the Taliban just announce #Hijab, then non-believers strongly react to it, while it is not practically implemented. This way TB cannot make the God happy & the people also remain unsatisfied. He recommended that the Taliban should make the God...
...happy&don't care about the world&what they say.
He recited a verse of the Holy Quran for emphasize: "And the Jews will never be satisfied with you neither will the Christians, till you follow their creed."
"Disagreement of non-believers is a sign of our success," Nadeem added.

The current Chief Justice of Afghanistan, Sheikh Abdul Hakim Haqqani, in his book named الإمارة الإسلامية ونظامها (The Islamic Emirate and Its System), which is basically explaining the Islamic Government, discussed various topics including the girls education & #women's work... Image
According to Haqqani, only the Islamic Education for women is Wajib (obligatory), not the modern education.
He explained that women can also get modern education but only in the fields that fit them such as medical& tailoring, but not chemistry, geometry etc.
Then, if a woman ... ImageImage
...is going for education, then there are conditions for her, including who can teach her and how can go to school/university?
According to Haqqani, only women can teach women and if it was not possible, then there should be a curtain between female students and male teacher... Image
