Attack on consulate of Germany in Mazar-i-Sharif (Afghanistan)

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany reports that an armed attack was committed on the consulate of Germany in the Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif. Information Agency DPA cites data on the number of dead and wounded during the terrorist attack. According to this source, none of the German diplomats was injured, but there are a large number of casualties among the mission’s guard and the civilian population: at least 4s were killed, about 120 were injured.

According to the information of German diplomats working in Afghanistan, a mined car to the consulate building (and the local hotel Mazar is used as a consular department) was sent by Taliban militants (prohibited in the Russian Federation). After the first explosion, the second one thundered - already inside the mission building. At the entrance to the hotel, a shootout ensued. Explosions from the explosions were visible in other districts of Mazar-i-Sharif. The building was severely damaged and partially destroyed.

According to Afghan sources, officers of the Afghan security service, as well as representatives of the “Strong Support” military mission, rushed to the scene. The soldiers arrived from the Marmal military base, which is used by the Bundeswehr forces. About an hour after the first explosion, as reported by DPA, "the attack was repelled."

I wonder if the German Defense Minister Ursula von der Lyayen managed to turn to Trump with the words about the need to be committed to the policy of "NATO solidarity" in Afghanistan? ..

Someone tried to get a Schengen, to achieve, so to speak, family reunion with a cousin, which now German women squeezes in the Berlin metro? ... Merkel must understand and forgive.)))))

[210ox]

Of course, understand and forgive! And what can they do on their own? The Bundeswehr was barely barely in the top ten strongest armies in the world .. No, in principle, they can pay off ..

[Giant thought]

So it will be constant, while the occupying forces will be in Afghanistan, the best option for the German military to go home.

What is the BUNDSVER doing thousands of kilometers from its country in AFGHANISTAN?
I just can’t understand ... I welcome any pendal to the Germans in AFGAN ... it’s a pity that the Taliban are killing their Afghans instead of the Fritz ... they don’t have enough brains and strength to carry out an effective military operation against the BUNDESVER.

[210ox]

But they carry out an effective operation in Germany .. Moreover, the Germans can do nothing with them .. The times of Bismarck and Adenauer have passed ..

They are improving interaction with NATO partners, equipment and soldiers are tested in a combat situation, medical services, logistics --- then they analyze each detail under a microscope and draw conclusions. How many soldiers and officers they drove out through the Afghan? And there is experience.
The rest of the buns go to industrialists in the form of orders (and not only for the needs of Germany) and politicians in the form of glory or oblivion (whoever gets lucky). How can they leave if China enters there through Pakistanis. America and its allies will guard this long-suffering land from them, we don’t need

Given the fact that the German diplomats and employees were not injured, the Germans are most likely to sigh, make a statement and eventually calm down. And when the crash in Germany, European politicians will join hands and mournfully walk along a guarded street for cameras and media.

[Thunderbolt]

I can imagine how the Germans "drowned" from the base to help their diplomats ...! )))
And what is the German consulate doing there? Residence permits in Germany must be issued to Afghans? What nonsense and unnecessary red tape --- letting everyone come in! Afghans are great guys! Yes, and somehow it’s not ethical --- as if the Germans do not trust them, you give a visa-free regime!

I did not have time but I managed to say the following:

“Donald Trump must clearly say which side he is on: whether he is on the side of justice, world order, democracy, or he doesn’t care, and he is engaged in a kind of establishing male friendships,” von der Leyen said on the air of ZDF TV channel.

In addition, the head of the Federal Republic of Germany's defense department warned Trump against treating NATO like a business. "

They are afraid that the older brother will translate into "self-sufficiency"

[sl22277]

I will say in German - uben the bitte. So it turns out that the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Germany in 1994 and the help of the USSR in the unification of Germany was a mistake? Terrorists attacked the German consulate, but German defense mines urged Trump to be tough on Russia. This is some kind of surrealism. I think she didn’t have much time left, the elections to the Bundestag are coming soon, Merkelsha has zero chances. But there is no Merkelsha, there is no this Ursula. Everything is very simple. Let it a little ....

What are you happy about? First of all, embassies have embassies. Attack the ambassadors of barbarism. Secondly, pay attention to the attack in Mazar-e-Sharif - this is the north of Afghanistan. If the Taliban begin to act so impudently there is a bad sign for us. If the Taliban begin to host in this part of Afghanistan, they will begin to attack Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan ... What do you think we need it for? Or do you start to say, like you wanted to eat independence in full spoons? The threat to the Central Asian countries is a direct threat to us.

But the UN does not think so. Most recently, a resolution has been blocked there condemning the attack on the Russian embassy in Damascus. And other attacks on our diplomatic missions went unnoticed.

They hang out there all the time. Recently, during the UN Assembly in September 2015, they took Kunduz in a day, which is even closer to us than Mazar-e-Sharif. Former Taliban leader Maksud claimed that the Taliban had no intersection of interests with Russia and set as its goal the destruction of the NATO military and the Ishilovites as they considered both to be occupiers, and also set the task of removing the Afghan government from power as pro-American. Maksuda was removed and now the mattresses are trying to unite the Taliban and the Ishilovites, which will really pose a threat to us if they are combined. But so far, most of the Taliban commanders are against and consider restoring their power in Afghanistan a priority. The German embassy came under distribution as an object of a country within NATO.

The Bundeswehr will swallow it. The German population does not recognize. Trump's teachings will continue.

And then the UN, if the neighbor du.rak, let's become fools too?
The Taliban in the north of Afghanistan do not hang out often, they are given the teeth of the local tribes, whom we help, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan a bit, the Turkmens twist their dark affairs.
What the Taliban declared is impossible to believe everything. Do not forget that a bunch of other terrorist organizations Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan and others cooperate with the Taliban there. Do you really think that if they manage to gain a foothold in the north of Afghanistan, they will quietly and peacefully begin to build their state? Won't they try to overthrow local governments?

[Ustrushan]

He got excited when he said that the Taliban in northern Afghanistan do not often hang out. Often, but get rebuffed ...

[rotmistr60]

Yes, you got excited in many ways. Something I did not notice "joy" (as you write) in the comments from this news. AND Nyrobsky you correctly laid out. Sometimes one should not rush to show ostensibly "philanthropy" and adherence to international law.

Do you mean it?
The Taliban will easily change their minds when they become rulers of Afghanistan. It will be easy to support Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan with the goal of overthrowing the Central Asian governments.

[rotmistr60]

Do you mean it?

I mean his full comment, and in particular the first part.

[Ustrushan]

Do not be lazy to discard the quote that you mean. And then I do not quite understand what I mean? Is it about the UN that they did not adopt a resolution on the discussion of attacks on our diplomatic missions? But this is not a smart step from our partners. If so then do not become like this idiocy. If about Kunduz - then it is approximately at the same latitude with Mazar-e-Sharif. If the words of the former Taliban leader about not intersecting the interests of the Taliban and Russia, then in essence this is not so. We have very large intersections of interests with the Taliban in Central Asia. For example, in relation to the states of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan. Do you really believe that when they come to power and expel the NATO coalition from Afghanistan, they will expel all terrorist organizations from their territory? Will they engage in peaceful development, developing friendly relations with neighboring countries?

[rotmistr60]

do not be like this idiocy

What are you talking about and about whom? I, in my opinion, replied to you that joy (as you wrote) about this fact in the comments did not see. What is the problem.?

[Ustrushan]

Read the first comments and see.

As for idiocy, this is to our partners who have not adopted a resolution condemning the attacks on our embassies.
