KABUL (SW) – The intense house-to-house raids and checking by the Islamic Emirate forces in Kabul has caused panic and concerns among the residents.
As of Thursday morning, parts of Kabul, the capital of the country, seems militarized with the forces of the Islamic Emirate conducting house-to-house search.
A number of residents of the capital have complained about the inspection of their homes by the forces of the Islamic Emirate, expressing concern that this has caused fear and anxiety among people and families, especially women and children.
According to them, most of the equipment belonging to the former government has been confiscated by the forces of the Islamic Emirate and those possessing it have been interrogated.
“Since last night, the forces of the Islamic Emirate have been raiding the houses one by one,” a Kabul resident told Salam Watandar. “People are also scared and very worried. It is not clear what they want.”
Residents of Kabul are urging the authorities of the Islamic Emirate not to cause fear and panic among civilians and ordinary people.
“I must say that they enter people’s homes very hastily and try to intimidate the people in front of their wife and children. Our request to the officials of the Islamic Emirate is to please pay attention to the people and to make sure that the forces do not harm the civilians”, said another resident.
Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman for the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, said in a statement on Friday that security forces from the Ministries of Defense, Interior and the Intelligence Department of the Islamic Emirate had launched a large-scale clean-up operation in Kabul and neighboring provinces, led by Deputy Defense Minister Mullah Mohammad Fazl Mazlum.
The purpose of the clean-up operation in these areas is said to detain and eliminate those involved in theft, kidnapping, destruction and other crimes who have already been identified by the security forces of the Islamic Emirate, the statement said.
