The Taliban fought to break into Kunduz

49
From early in the morning alarming ones come from Afghanistan news about the large-scale offensive of the Taliban in northern Afghanistan. And if at first the information concerned the movement of militants exclusively in rural areas, now there is information that the Taliban entered Kunduz, a large city in the north of the country.

Qatari TV journalists Al Jazeera report that the Taliban attacked Kunduz from four directions at once, which allowed the militants to crush the resistance of the Afghan army and police in several sectors at once.



A police spokesman for Kunduz, Ali Kamal, states that the militant offensive began at around midnight local time. After some time, military helicopters appeared over the city, with fire from which the Afghan military tried to suppress the offensive activity of the Taliban, but the militants managed to occupy several quarters in the city.

The Taliban fought to break into Kunduz


The fact of taking control of the quarters in Kunduz is confirmed by the Taliban themselves. On the page of one of the leaders of the group on Twitter, there was information that the Taliban occupied the 4 checkpoints, as well as the Navabad quarter. During the battle, several dozen Afghan soldiers were killed, at least four policemen and military were captured. Fighting the Afghan army with the Taliban are a few dozen kilometers from the border with Tajikistan.

It must be recalled that Kunduz came under the control of the Afghan army about a year ago. For a long time, the city was under the control of the Taliban.

Rider with reference to military sources in Afghanistan reports that the Taliban are fighting with government forces in Helmand province, where the largest US military base is located in Afghanistan. The material of the news agency says that the militants attacked the town of Nava, killing several police officers, including the head of the local law enforcement department.

          What was written there? This is probably طالبان. And you, as a connoisseur of the Arabic script, know how to insert Pashtun vowels, and have declared to the whole world about atrocities? But al-Ashari forbids the Taliban from playing secular games, that’s a sin. And rejoice in the dismemberment in this way - apostasy. We would study the question before writing the mur.

          The second point, the Taliban are limited by territorial borders. Mainly a settled feature of the paste of Afghanistan and Pakistani Waziristan. ISIS for the Taliban is apostates, since ghazavat (war of aggression) is the most serious of sins.

              smile Well, you haven’t done that before. The question is in family relations. The Taliban is not expansion, it is a way to restore the old way of life. The expansion of the Taliban in Afghanistan is just a way to eliminate the threat. The worst thing in Afghanistan is the Arabs. Surprisingly, the people of the country understand this, with the exception of the Baloch. This is the Trojan horse of the Saudis. The Taliban, within their borders, would return to a quiet life, but they need guarantees against expansion into their long-suffering land. It was the Saudi kings who promised this to them, by the method of pan-Arabism. But this is a false dark path. The path of war and suffering.

              Yes, waking up, I had seen enough of the life of such a thing, from which the young pathologist went crazy. The question is not, the question is in whom. For example, the release of our pilot from the captivity of the Taliban, a fact. The game of bearded bandits does not define them by the Taliban. I personally have a double attitude towards them, on the one hand Arabism is unacceptable, alien to the Pashtunvali, on the other hand the piety of their struggle against the invaders. Here we already have a Russian folk rake dance, the Irish are resting. Since the distant Afghan war, the leadership of the USSR dealt with errors in the East, entangling nodes and chopping up the resume. Unfortunately, they chopped it alive. Including in its living. In Russian reality, errors became smaller but turned into chronic hemorrhoids. In the beginning, he did not support Shah Masoud in his quest to create a Tajik state in the north. Then, on the contrary, support Tajiks without a leader. Then play Cardinal Richelieu, who turned out to be Pinocchio. And then do nothing at all, according to the rule, who does not work, he is not mistaken. It was as a result of the mistakes of the leadership of the USSR, and then of the Russian Federation, that the Taliban movement was born, which grew into the ambitions of statehood. Born due to the legal capacity of the Yeltsin leadership, in the absence of specialists in the East. The virgin souls of the Pashtuns were plowed and seeded by Saudi emissaries. And there could be a second state of Tajiks, with a strong, and most importantly honest and decent leader, the Islamic state of Pashtunvalo and the secular southern underbelly as a balancing ballast. Interestingly, this option was practically without cost. With gratitude to Russia, which simply allowed these people to live the way they lived before that for two thousand years. Here is such an educational program ......

            36 years ago this country was secular and more or less civilized. Trolleybuses walked, women wore skirts above the knee, etc. It was the largest in Central Asia, the center of trade in the region. Therefore, it always attracted Europeans. Caravan roads have existed since ancient times - the sarcophagus of Tutankhomon was decorated with Afghan emeralds. Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, Persians, Turks, etc. - Everyone could be found there.
            This is what surprises me. They agreed that no one should deliver weapons to Afghanistan - where did the Taliban get it from ?! They are the only ones who can now conduct military operations - are the Pakistanis really delivering. Why aren't NATO bases stormed? In fact, at the end of the 90s, the Taliban owned almost the entire country, but they didn’t go anywhere and practically didn’t break the borders - more drug barons made breakouts. We started to plague drugs in the country.
            The United States seemed to want to go out, but apparently changed their minds (the deadlines were suspended, they were increasing their wing). They are all lacking, everyone wants to control. But the actions of the Taliban are in our hands — they stretch the capabilities of NATO. For 15 years they could not cope, and especially no one helped the Taliban - the shame of the US Armed Forces and it is already understood that they will not cope. And where should they compete with the RF Armed Forces? Let them thank you that they did not help the Afghan spirits - in general, they would get a second Vietnam. hi

      Yes, probably not going to. After all, it is clear that as soon as Aleppo is cleared of terrorists, the United States will begin a hasty evacuation from Syria to Afghanistan. The Taliban who will be bought, who will be shot, and the "merry life" will begin on our "South Underbelly". However, there is a possibility that they will not climb into "our" Central Asia much, but will focus on China. Thus, an opportunity will open for China to build a "silk road" by forces and means of its Army across Afghanistan to Iran. And there - who knows? - What if the Chinese Army needs to free the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusolim ?!

    Central Asia is not Russia for a long time and sometimes their actions are far from allied, to say the least. .Why the Russian Federation should pay for the independence of these countries with the blood of its soldiers. But let the Americans be scratched-their poppy plantations need to be protected, and there will be no other way in Syria. There is always an inflated threat of the Taliban in Russia (especially if someone is pushing them to this ), but they still have a long way to go and in their own country they need to restore order .. And whoever said that it is impossible to come to an agreement with them - it’s impossible to reach an agreement with the Americans, as long as this is a fact. nearby territories on terms favorable to our country.
