The Afghan Taliban are now operating a training camp in neighboring Faryab province after overrunning a district in the northern province of Jawzjan. The province of Jawzjan is near the border with Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.

Taliban blatantly operating in the countryside with no hindrance. The video below starts with reciting  verses from the holy book and then goes on to show opposition to western modeled school education and western style concerts in Afghanistan. Then some Taliban fighters are shown undergoing weapons training and some being instructed in firing rifles from a moving vehicle, a tactic commonly used by the Taliban in assassinations of government officials.
