A Taliban special court has declared 69 jeribs of land in the Ehsan Mina settlement in Kabul’s Bagrami district as state property.
Ehsan Mina is located in eastern Kabul, and the Ministry of Public Works has previously referred to the area as a residential settlement. The latest court decision could affect residents and property owners living in or claiming ownership of the land.
According to reports, the Taliban’s special court issued the ruling after examining the ownership status of the land. The decision formally places the 69 jeribs under state ownership, although details regarding the legal basis for the ruling have not been made public.
Residents and owners of properties in the settlement have not yet issued a public response to the decision. It is therefore unclear whether they intend to challenge the ruling or seek clarification from the Taliban authorities.
Land ownership has remained a sensitive issue in Afghanistan, particularly in Kabul, where disputes over property documents, government land and private ownership have frequently resulted in legal and administrative conflicts.
The decision concerning Ehsan Mina could therefore have wider implications for the affected residents, particularly if authorities move to enforce the ruling or take control of the land.
Further details about the case, including the court’s reasoning and the future status of the settlement, have yet to emerge. A response from residents or property owners could provide additional information about the dispute and the potential consequences of the ruling.
