Taliban forces in Badakhshan claimed that after the surrender of Juma Khan Fateh, the local commander of this group, they discovered a number of missiles and semi-heavy weapons from the positions of forces affiliated with him in the five districts of Darwaz.
Taliban media activists and media outlets close to this group published numerous photos and videos that, according to their claims, show the weapons and military equipment discovered in Nesa district.
Following the surrender of Juma Khan Fateh, Pashtun-affiliated Taliban forces began operations to disarm individuals affiliated with him, and these operations are still ongoing.
Juma Khan Fateh was one of the powerful local commanders of the Taliban in the five districts of Darwaz in Badakhshan. During the Taliban's rule, he took action to forcibly change the religion of the Ismaili residents of this region.
Disputes over control of Badakhshan mines, especially gold mines, and the increasing military power of Juma Khan Fateh led the Taliban to launch operations against him. Fateh surrendered after clashes with Pashtun-affiliated Taliban forces, with the mediation of Qari Fasihuddin Fitrat, the head of this group's army staff.
According to Zabiullah Mujahid, the Taliban spokesman, Juma Khan Fateh will be tried in the group's court.
