Local sources in Nangarhar province have reported that the Taliban have transformed the historic Seraj-ul-Emarat Palace in Jalalabad city, the center of this province, into a jihadi madrasa.
Sources state that the Taliban had been attempting to convert this palace into a school over the past few months, and on Monday, June 4, they successfully accomplished this task.
Local Taliban officials in charge of information and culture in the province have not made any official statements regarding this matter.
The Seraj-ul-Emarat Palace, constructed during the reign of King Amanullah Khan, underwent restoration during the previous government’s rule after being damaged during the country’s prolonged wars.
Previously, the Taliban had converted the Sharia Faculty building of Panjshir University into a jihadi madrasa.
