Abdul Sattar Hosseini, a former member of Afghanistan’s parliament, has criticized the conduct of Taliban forces at a security checkpoint in Nimruz province, describing the location as a scene of “scandal and disgrace.”
Hosseini said the checkpoint, located in the Islamabad area associated with Khwaja Karim in Nimruz, belongs to the Taliban’s Fourth Domain. He alleged that the security post has become associated with behavior that he characterized as deeply embarrassing and unacceptable.
The former lawmaker did not provide detailed information about the specific incidents or actions that led him to make the allegations. His remarks nevertheless add to broader criticism surrounding the conduct of Taliban security forces at checkpoints and other security facilities across Afghanistan.
Security checkpoints play a key role in controlling movement and maintaining security in provinces such as Nimruz, which borders Iran and Pakistan and has important trade and transit routes.
However, allegations of misconduct by security personnel can raise concerns among local residents about accountability, treatment of civilians and the broader security environment.
Hosseini’s comments come as Afghanistan continues to face political and security challenges under Taliban rule. Former officials and local figures have frequently criticized Taliban policies and the conduct of their security forces.
There has been no immediate response from Taliban authorities regarding Hosseini’s allegations. Further details about the reported incidents at the checkpoint remain unclear.
