Some kind of internal power struggle going on among Taliban leaders

Stupid people...

Someone should tell both sides...the talkers (diplomacy) and the fighters...that they are BOTH responsible for the victory (along with a lot of help from the Afghan government and the Biden administration) and then tell them both to sit down and shut up.
 

Afghanistan: Taliban leaders in bust-up at presidential palace, sources say


That different factions within the movement, and leader figures that all want to become the Number One Guy now start bickering and plotting was kind of predictable.
The proverbial falling out among thieves.

Just as Stalin had Trotsky killed.

Just as Hitler went after his rivals (The Night of the Long Knives).

Just as Mao murdered his rivals.

Just as dear sweet misunderstood young gentlemen in Chicago go after one another.
 
Tajikstan sits on the Northern border of Afghanistan, and has not recognized the Taliban Government. 25% of people in Afghanisan identify with Tajikitan. Tajikikistan is more respectful of rights, and do not follow Sharia punishments.


"China, Iran, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan all conceded there was nothing they could do about Afghan internal politics and held out hope that some form of cooperation with the Taliban might be possible.

But Tajik authorities have taken a different position and that has raised questions about why Tajik President Emomali Rahmon and his government continue to make clear their strong opposition to a Taliban government in Afghanistan.

First, it is worth remembering that Rahmon was Tajikistan’s leader more than 20 years ago when the Taliban had control of most of Afghanistan.

None of the other current leaders in the countries bordering Afghanistan were in power when the Taliban was ousted by a U.S.-led military invasion in 2001.

Rahmon supported a group led by ethnic Tajiks in Afghanistan who were fighting the Taliban in the late 1990s and he has given moral support to the ethnic Tajiks in Afghanistan now -- including the holdout group in the Panjshir Valley that continues to oppose Taliban rule."


"He added: “It also gives momentum for Rahmon to take an opportunity for internal use of the topic, bringing him closer to his own people.”

Russia has a military base in Tajikistan and China has a small military post in the eastern part of the country.

Both Moscow and Beijing have expressed confidence that it is possible to deal with the Taliban, but both are concerned by the presence of militants from their own countries who are in groups currently inside Afghanistan that are allied to the Taliban.

And there are many countries with citizens still inside Afghanistan and the governments of those countries need to keep this in consideration when commenting on events in the country."

"Soil erosion, loss of biodiversity, melting glaciers and extreme weather events—such as floods, droughts, avalanches and landslides—regularly destroy land, crops, infrastructures, and livelihoods. For this reason, half of Tajikistan’s food is imported, with fluctuations in food prices disproportionally affecting the poorest people and reducing their buying power.

Mountains cover 93 percent of Tajikistan’s territory. The remaining 7 percent is arable land but 97 percent of it is subject to soil degradation.

Tajikistan is gradually recovering from an economic shock that began in late 2014. However, despite progress in poverty reduction, recent economic challenges compounded by population growth have contributed to an increase in the vulnerability of households to food insecurity."
