Local sources in Kunduz province report that the Taliban are paying monthly salaries to individuals who supported their fighters during the conflict with the previous government’s security forces by providing shelter and food.
Sources on Sunday, April 28, confirm that the Taliban have submitted the list of these individuals to their authorities and are compensating them as “loyalty rewards.” Additionally, another source indicates that the Taliban have assured these individuals of priority assistance in humanitarian efforts led by relief organizations.
Most of these individuals are said to reside in the outskirts of Kunduz city and its districts. However, the exact amount of salary provided to them remains unspecified. It is noteworthy that during the conflict with the previous government’s security forces, some individuals harbored Taliban fighters in their homes and provided them with food and other necessities. This situation arises as residents of cities and villages have repeatedly expressed concerns about the Taliban favoring individuals close to them in humanitarian aid distribution.
