During a special operation, law enforcement agencies of Tajikistan detained dozens of Afghan citizens, among whom, it is claimed, were military personnel of Ashraf Ghani’s government.
This was reported by Radio Ozodi, citing its sources.
According to the source, the special operation by law enforcement agencies is taking place in the Shamsiddin Shohin area of the Khatlon region, in a remote and hard-to-reach border zone, and has been ongoing for a week.
The reason for the detention of Afghan citizens is that they “were armed.”
There have been no official statements from Tajik authorities regarding this matter yet.
It is also unclear whether the Afghan citizens entered Tajikistan with weapons or armed themselves already in Tajikistan.
After the fall of Ashraf Ghani’s government on August 15, 2021, a large number of Afghans found refuge in Tajikistan and other countries.
