The Taliban reportedly increased security in Kabul on the 20th anniversary of Taliban opponent Ahmad Shah Massoud​‘s assassination on Thursday.
Taliban forces were seen patrolling the streets around Kabul airport, with particular attention being paid to checking vehicles, while the celebrations of previous years didn’t take place.
Over the past 20 years, Massoud’s death had been commemorated as Martyrs’ Day and was celebrated annually by a number of Afghan leaders, being made an official public holiday in 2012 by the previous Afghan government.
Massoud was an Afghan military resistance leader who fought against the Soviet invasion and later the Taliban, before he was assassinated on September 9, 2001, in a suicide attack orchestrated by al-Qaeda.

SOT, Mehrab Haidari, Taliban special forces member (Dari): “Today we set up checkpoints for disciplining of the society so we could prevent disorder and disturbances, until the people will not dissolve the society’s discipline, until we could have a good discipline in the society.”

SOT, Mohammad Yusuf, Kabul resident (Dari): “There is a checkpoint, they are inspecting the vehicles, the situation is normal currently, there is no stealing anymore, we don’t have any other problem and it is secure, the problem is that there are no job opportunities, the people are jobless.”

SOT, Shir Mohammad, Labourer (Pashto): “If they recognise them so the work system will launch too, and if they don’t recognise them so the it will be ongoing as now, the poor employees don’t receive any fees, and I have a brother who was a school teacher, he struggles day and night, and I am also a labourer but there is no work to do.”

SOT, Shir Mohammad, Labourer (Pashto): “No there is no work to do, before we worked for the brick company but there are no jobs also, yet it is stopped and I don’t know what will happen in the future.”
