Taliban orders Hazaras to pay penalty to Kuchis for lost livestock

Local sources say the Taliban has ordered Hazaras in the Sarchashma village of Jalrez district in Maidan Wardak province to pay penalties to Kuchis for the loss of their livestock. The Kuchis’ livestock reportedly went missing several years ago in the area.

One source told KabulNow that the livestock was “seized” by Abdul Ghani Alipour, a local Hazara commander. However, the Kuchis have accused the local Hazaras of stealing their herd, but the Hazaras have denied the allegations.
