Jade-Abresham(Silk Way): Balkhab Internally Displaced people on the Crossroad of Returning Home or Remaining in the Mountains.
Meeting Held on Returning Balkhab Displaced People on July 17. Local sources in Balkhab say that the meeting concluded the internally displaced people of Balkhab to return to their homes and shall guaranty no one will fight against Taliban in Balkhab
A video shows Taliban threatening the people saying families of those who were with Mawlawi Mahdi will not be safe and the families of those who will be with Mahdi will not be safe in the future.
Now, Balkhab displaced people wonder to return to their homes and live under Taliban threats or stay in mountains and bearing the cold weather and hunger. In both cases, they will have a difficult life. Living in the mountains is too difficult. They will not receive aid from the aid agencies and the Taliban also will prevent providing any aid to them.
Returning home will be difficult for them. Taliban have shown in practice during the war in Balkhab, Panjshir and Baghaln that they do not stand on their pledges and adhere to no international humanitarian law.
Setting preconditions by the Taliban shows balkhab residents will face threats by the Taliban.
The United Nations have estimated that about 27000, people have been displaced as a result of the war between Taliban and Mawlawi Mahdi in Balkhab district.
