Es gibt ernste Befürchtungen,dass die ausländischen Kämpfer in Kundus abeschlachtet werden.

The lenient treatment being given pakistani prisoners is symptomatic of efforts being made by the new security force leaders here to establish an orderly and humane policy toward former foes. Loudspeaker trucks have been moving through Jalalabad this week, ordering militiamen to detain but not execute any captives.
Hazrat Ali, the veteran militia leader named regional security chief last week, said today he had begun to crack down on abuses by his own men and other fighters, who have been stealing trucks and equipment from international aid offices in Jalalabad. He said 50 men were arrested for theft Tuesday, and that an inventory was being made of all missing vehicles and equipment.
"A lot of the soldiers are illiterate and do illegal acts. We are trying to make them understand and prevent mishap," Ali told journalists in Jalalabad today. "We are in an emergency situation. This is only our fifth day. We have no police or judicial system, only my warriors with guns."
Ali said he plans to gradually disarm the thousands of militia members who have been roaming the city in armed groups and sleeping in commandeered buildings, and to create a regular security force of about 6,000 men.
All the fighters in Jalalabad are from the Pashtun tribes who are the majority in this part of Afghanistan. While the Tajik, Uzbek and Shia Muslim Hazara fighters can easily hold on to the more ethnically mixed parts of the country, it would be impossible for them to capture Jalalabad and the surrounding provinces. So it is up to Abdul Qadir and the others - all ethnic Pashtuns - to create a stable administration.
Once they have done that, they will look for a national role. Yesterday, Mohamed Zarman, from the jirga, said they would not tolerate Northern Alliance rule in Kabul and called for a broad-based government that would include all ethnic groups. For almost all of Afghanistan's recent political history a Pashtun has ruled the nation from Kabul. Now the Pashtun tribes - who comprise almost half the population - have no representation in the capital at all.

Jedoch ist das Hauptproblem offenbar,dass die Stämme der Nordallianz das politische Vacuum ausnutzen wollen,um auch im Süden an die Macht zu kommen.Hier gibt es etliche Stammesführer die bereits die Rückkehr des Königs begrüssen würden,es gebe keine Alternative.Aber auch der alte Kommunist Rabbani ist wieder im Spiel.und verschiedene andere.
Within 24 hours of the Taliban retreating, six different commanders had led their fighters into the city. On Friday, in the palatial high-ceilinged rooms of the governor's house, they sat down to talk, but with little result. Yesterday, after 36 hours of volatile discussions, a jirga or traditional council, including 100 different groups had reached a fragile agreement. This came after a night so tense that a curfew had been imposed and armed guards with rocket launchers had been posted outside hotels. As expected, the man heading the new administration is Haji Abdul Qadir. He is the brother of Abdul Haq - the opposition leader killed in a disastrous bid to spark a revolt within Taliban territory three weeks ago.
Qadir, who arrived in Jalalabad in a helicopter on Thursday, was governor of the rich Nangarhar province, which lies around the city, until he was ousted by the Taliban on 10 September 1996.
But there is no shortage of contenders hungry for power, including Qazi Amin Wiqad, a hardline Islamist with close ties to the Taliban. Another of the commanders vying for power was actually fighting for the Taliban until last week. Though none is strong enough to unseat Qadir alone, they could probably defeat him if they joined forces. For the moment, an uneasy calm has descended on the city, but few expect it to last.
Almost all these men are remembered for the chaotic anarchy of the 1992-96 period.
'Thank you Britain and America for allowing these men to come back and rob and beat us again,' one refugee shouted at The Observer as he drove slowly back into Jalalabad on Friday.
The only signs of change are the overt playing of music and the return of televisions to restaurants. There is no sign of women forsaking the burqa - the traditional all-encompassing veil that the Taliban imposed.
'I am not going to walk unveiled through a city full of soldiers where there is no police force,' Fatima said.
