Tajiks of Afghanistan: “Stop the genocide of Tajiks!”

According to influential agencies and videos posted on social media, dozens of Taliban militants have been killed, wounded, and captured during recent clashes between the forces of the Islamic Emirate and the National Resistance Front in the provinces of Panjshir, Baghlan, and Takhar.

The Taliban deny that clashes are occurring in Panjshir; however, Afghan media and civil society activists report that in the past eight months, since the Taliban seized power in the country, no anti-Taliban forces have dealt such a heavy blow. Therefore, by sending more militants and carrying out mass killings, the Taliban intend to intensify the terror of fear in these three provinces, predominantly populated by ethnic Tajiks.
