8am: The Taliban have established a “Permanent Housing and Land Distribution Committee for Kunduz Migrants” in the northeastern province of Kunduz. This committee is tasked with distributing land to Taliban fighters and their families residing in Pakistan. A letter from this committee, obtained by the Hasht-e Subh Daily, reveals that the Taliban have called on all individuals who returned to Kunduz from neighboring countries following their takeover to report to the Urban Development Directorate under Taliban control to receive land. A Kunduz resident, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, stated that the current land distribution policy continues the former governments’ strategy of “fostering settlers.” He noted that the Taliban are subtly and systematically working to change the overall demographic structure of the province by allocating more land to their loyalists. He added that now, with the distribution of land to Pakistanis underway, the process is ongoing. He stressed that people currently have no voice, and anyone who opposes or criticizes the policy is eliminated by the Taliban.
