Talib Supreme Court Appoints 69 Provincial Judges

[ToloNews] The Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
has appointed 69 judges to 33 provinces (Panjshir province was not included.)
Hmmm...Is that because it is still under military rule or because they are still working in subduing it?
The Islamic Emirate said that the appointees to the provinces are qualified to address legal cases.

"The 69 individuals are introduced by the Supreme Court and are appointed to positions of appellate court judges and provincial judges- they are all skillful and are experts in Sharia law," said Inamullah Samangai, deputy front man for the Islamic Emirate.

But some political officials reacted to the new appointments in the judicial system, saying that the system needs well-experienced officials.

"It is necessary to appoint officials based on talent, skills, integrity and capability," said Janat Fahim, a political analyst.

"These should be lawyers who are familiar with Afghan and international law," said Toreq Farhadi, a political analyst.

Some lawyers said that the newly appointed officials should not have been accused of committing war crimes.

"The individuals who are being appointed in this section should not have any background of violating human rights
When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much...
or committing war crimes--they should be honest," said Rohulah Sakhi Zada, a lawyer.

The citizens hoped that the new judges would take decisive action in judicial cases.

"Honest and good people should be appointed who can ensure justice," said Khalil Rahman, a Kabul resident.

Electronic ID Distribution Restarts in Mazar-e-Sharif

[ToloNews] Four months since the processing and distribution of electronic Nations Identity Cards (eNIC) was halted, the National Statistics and information Authority (NSIA) of Balkh province said on Wednesday that the process of distributing identity cards (e-Tazkiras) has resumed in Mazar-e-Sharif.

The acting head of the NSIA in Balkh, Mohammad Noor Wasiq, said so far one center has been activated to restart services and two more centers will be opened in the coming days.

"People can register offline for the electronic Tazkira ... we will reopen more centers, if the capital ( Kabul Officials) gives permission," said Mohammad Noor Wasiq.

The residents of Mazar-e-Sharif, who were queuing in front of the center, welcomed the opening of the center. They called on officials to reopen more centers in the city.

"The process restarted, we are happy about it, women are allowed to receive Tazkiras, we are happy," said Maasoma Nazari, a resident in Mazar.

Officials said that more than 300 persons a day go through the biometric processing at the center.

After the victory of the Islamic Emirate in Afghanistan, the process of issuing passports and identity cards was disrupted for weeks across the country, and citizens--including students who study abroad and patients who need to travel for medical care--were faced with serious travel challenges.
