The Taliban government is facing resistance from local movements in the Panjshir province.

KDRTV noted reports on Friday that the former Afghan vice President Amrullah Saleh`s brother Rohullah was killed.

However, the Taliban fighters have rubbished the reports Amrullah`s brother was executed, saying he was killed during clashes.

He was allegedly arrested, tortured, and then shot by the Taliban fighters.

Meanwhile, commercial flights have resumed in the Kabul international airport, and Pakistan International Airlines will resume flights to Kabul next.

However, the international community has remained skeptical of the Taliban`s pledge to allow people to leave the country.

Even though the Taliban promised to consider the fundamental rights of women, KDRTV has noted several instances in which Afghan women are being segregated.

Afghan women have been segregated in various universities across the country. They are being separated from male students.
