The former governor of Faryab province, Nakibullo Faik, reported to “Afghanistan International” that the entire city is under the control of Uzbeks, and the Pashtun Taliban have been disarmed.
Clashes in Maymana began after the commander of the Uzbek Taliban forces, Mahdum Alam, was arrested in Mazar-i-Sharif. Mahdum Alam is considered one of the influential Taliban commanders of Uzbek origin, and following his arrest, Uzbeks rose up and started unrest in Maymana.
A video posted on social media shows local residents speaking Uzbek and claiming that the city is under their control. The Taliban flag has been lowered and replaced with the flag of Afghanistan.
In the past five months since the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan, this is the first mass uprising in one of the Afghan cities against the Taliban, and they have managed to liberate the city from the Taliban.
The former Vice President of Afghanistan, Amrullah Saleh, congratulated the residents of Faryab province on their uprising against the Taliban and wished them success.
