The chief of staff of the Islamic Emirate, who went to Badakhshan Province to address the grievances of the protesters reacting to the security forces' actions in destroying their poppy fields, states that the issue has been resolved after discussions with the representatives of the protesters.
“We have concluded that the controversy that occurred and the demonstrations that took place were due to some misunderstandings, which were properly resolved. The government has reached an understanding with the residents of that area, and the matter involving the heirs of the two individuals who were killed has also been settled,” said Fasihuddin Fitrat, the chief of staff of the Islamic Emirate.
The representatives of the protesters said that they have ended their protest following discussions with the officials of the Islamic Emirate.
“There is no opposition between the nation and the Islamic Emirate. No one here bothers anyone, and no one can influence this place based on their political desires from outside,” Obaidullah, representative of the protesters in Darayim district, Badakhshan.
“What had happened between the forces of the Islamic Emirate and the people of the district was a misunderstanding, and today's meeting went very well,” said Mohammad Muzarab, representative of the protesters in Argu District, Badakhshan.
Residents of Argu and Darayim districts in Badakhshan Province protested on Friday and Saturday against what they considered the destruction of their fields, which resulted in two deaths. However, security forces stated that they have destroyed the poppy fields.
