Hundreds of residents in the Abchakan area of Logar province protested against the Taliban on 25 Jawza. Demonstrators chanted slogans opposing the group's decision to demolish their homes after declaring the land state property.

Residents maintain that the land is their legally recognized property, backed by official documents and recognition spanning decades under previous governments. They demanded that any disputes be resolved through legal processes and investigations rather than unilateral demolitions without court decisions.

The protest reflects growing dissatisfaction with land policies. Since regaining control of Afghanistan, the Taliban have seized thousands of jeribs of land, including residential and agricultural areas, across various parts of the country.

Reliability assessment

Single-source reporting based entirely on anonymous local sources with no named officials, on-record attributions, or independent corroboration from other outlets.

The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. Hasht-e Subh: "unfairly", "unjustly", "seizure and destruction" — these phrases frame the Taliban's actions with explicit negative judgment and imply wrongdoing without presenting their perspective.

Independent web corroboration

An independent web search turned up no separate corroborating reports. Treat the account as single-sourced until more outlets pick it up.
