The Freedom Front said the Taliban would pay a heavy price for their actions after the group reportedly exhumed the grave and fired on the body of Zafar, a Resistance Front commander who had recently died.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Freedom Front described Zafar as a \u201ccomrade-in-arms\u201d and a \u201cfreedom fighter,\u201d saying that firing on his body reflected the Taliban\u2019s \u201cweakness, humiliation and anger\u201d in the face of \u201cgrowing public dissatisfaction with the group\u2019s rule\u201d in northern Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its statement, the group also condemned gunfire against protesters who had opposed mining activities by Taliban-linked companies in Takhar and Badakhshan Provinces, saying several people were killed and wounded during the crackdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Referring to both incidents, the Freedom Front said, \u201cThe honeymoon of the cowardly and usurping Taliban militias and the merchants of death in the north of the country has come to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent days, local residents in the Chah Ab district of Takhar have reportedly protested what they describe as \u201cexcessive and predatory\u201d mining by Taliban-contracted companies. Videos circulated on social media appear to show gunfire during the demonstrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Taliban has not commented on the reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resistance Front Reaction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Resistance Front issued a separate statement late last night, calling the exhumation of Zafar\u2019s grave \u201ccowardly and inhumane.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Taliban\u2019s repeated desecration of the bodies of resistance martyrs shows that this group has been defeated in the realm of ethics, dignity and human legitimacy,\u201d the statement said. \u201cAn enemy that fears even the lifeless bodies of freedom fighters is, in fact, displaying its own helplessness and despair through such unforgivable crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Resistance Front accused the Taliban of violating the ethics of warfare, humanitarian principles and religious norms, and warned that it would hold the group accountable for what it described as acts of desecration and abuse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
