The militants offered to sell their weapons or surrender to the siloviki, who were not paid their salaries by the authorities for six months.
In Afghanistan, Taliban militants have begun bribing security officials since the beginning of last year to sell their weapons or surrender. It is reported by The Washington Post with reference to their sources.
Afghan security officials admit that they were not paid their salaries for more than six months, which reduced the motivation to resist the Taliban.
According to interlocutors of the publication, there were agreements among Afghan and American officials, which Afghan officials called “ceasefire agreements.”
In fact, the Taliban offered money in exchange for government forces to hand over the weapons they had to the militants.
At first, such agreements were concluded at the level of regional security officials, but later the Taliban reached the level of officials in the capitals of Afghan provinces.
Let us remind you that yesterday morning the Taliban cordoned off Kabul and began to enter the capital without a fight. After that the Taliban stated that he controls the entire territory of Afghanistan.
And today it became known that the militants began to take away weapons from civilians due to the fact that they allegedly no longer need to inform them Reuters.
“We understand that people kept weapons at home for self-defense. Now they are safe. We will not offend innocent civilians,” the Taliban said.
It is also reported that the militants began to visit private companies and take an interest in the weapons of local guards.
Recall UN Security Council will convene an extraordinary meeting on the situation in Afghanistan.
