Credibility Assessment
Relies on a single news outlet citing unnamed local sources with specific details (name, age, places, date) but lacks independent verification from authorities or multiple named witnesses.
Local sources in Uruzgan province report that the body of a 65-year-old Hazara man, identified as Emanullah Hasani, from Gizab district was found on Friday, 23 Aqrab. According to the sources, Hasani disappeared three days earlier from his home in Khelj village of Gizab. His body was recovered from the Dahan Yaghak area of the same village.
Sources described Hasani as a farmer and said he had no known enemies. An unnamed source speaking to the newspaper Etilaat Roz said armed Kuchi had killed him and added that several residents of the village had previously been killed by Kuchi. The same source said villagers had repeatedly complained to local Taliban authorities about Kuchi attacks, but that the Taliban officials had not responded to their complaints.
The report notes that since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan, multiple killings of Hazaras have been reported in Uruzgan province, including in Khas Uruzgan and Gizab districts. The article cites local sources and the Etilaat Roz report for these details but does not provide independent on-the-record confirmation from security forces, medical examiners, or additional witnesses.
