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.
