Summary

The Taliban's Ministry of Justice, on August 3, 2026, ordered immediate enforcement of a Special Court ruling declaring 1,507.49 jeribs of land in Kabul's Omid-e-Sabz Township to be state property. The ruling, originally issued on April 20, invalidates all private sales and transactions, potentially displacing thousands of families — many from the Hazara community — who purchased homes and plots through documented private transactions. Residents have been directed to seek compensation from original sellers rather than the state, and the Commission for the Prevention of Land Grabbing has been instructed to implement the decision without delay. Critics have raised concerns about transparency, lack of impartial judicial review, and possible ethnic targeting.
