Taliban intensifies hostilities near Afghan-Tajik border

Taliban militants attacked roadblocks in the Yangi-Kala county in the Afghan border province of Tahar. These facilities are under the control of forces loyal to official Kabul.

Such a message was made by a spokesman for the governor of the province, Muhammad Jawad Hijri.

He said that during the attack, seven Khezishi Mardumi self-defense fighters were killed. Two more were injured. Extremists also have losses, but the number of beaten and wounded militants is not yet known exactly.

The fighting lasted several hours. The militias held their positions until reinforcements from the security forces approached them. Only then the militants retreated.

And this morning there was a terrorist attack in Ghazni, the administrative center of the province of the same name in central Afghanistan. A radical suicide bomber on a Humvee armored car stuffed with explosives self-blew up near the location of government forces. This diversion resulted in the death of eight people. According to some reports, the militants previously captured this armored car, firing at a convoy of American and Afghan military.

In recent years, the situation at the southern borders of the CIS continues to be tense and explosive. This direction remains one of those that requires increased attention from the CSTO.

For reference: the Taliban movement is a terrorist group banned in Russia.

People say: the lords are fighting - at the lackeys forelocks are cracking ...
young people were deprived of their livelihood, so they go to die for the interests of others ...

They were deprived of their childhood, and their country. There are not many options, or plant a poppy, or Kalash in your hands.

Well, if you can’t eliminate the danger (in the person of the Taliban), then if you don’t lead, then direct it in the right direction. Pakistan has dealt with this before. I don’t know how now. Iran is unlikely. China can only be through Pakistan. The Central Asian republics will ask for help and someone will begin to help them, as is the case with the coronavirus in Europe. And this is an increase in influence in the region with an eye to the future.

Strange right? On the side of Assad, Afghans are fighting as part of the Iranian "proxies". And they fight well. Do you think they have anything to do with the Taliban?

This is the "Serpentine Triangle". The place where 3 Sr. Asian Republics border on Afghanistan. And where are the "blacks" (ishil) active. These will be more dangerous. And the Taliban at this stage, refused to expand. They have already lost power in their country once, now they have a second chance.

Afghan Shiites are fighting for Iran in Syria, and the Taliban are Pashtuns and even Sunnis. So hardly.

And the Taliban at this stage refused to expand. They have already lost power in their country, now they have a second chance.

They will take power in the country and begin expansion again or will fight with ISIS for power in Afghanistan.

The greens are the Taliban. As you can see, the sphere of influence extends to the borders of Iran, in the provinces inhabited by Shiites. I'm not talking about direct support, but directly ... "The enemy of my enemy, my friend" ...
So is China. Nobody will be smeared with the Taliban as long as they are considered a terrorist organization. But everything flows, everything changes. China needs stability for its Great Silk Road program, and only the Taliban can provide it. In addition, China has views on the minerals of Afghanistan. So, the alliance of Sunnis with Shiites is more than real. Again, the "blacks" are Sunites. But the Taliban are cutting them.

[seregatara1969]

the Taliban is a movement for the liberation of Afghanistan. It operates inside Afghanistan. while inside. but have not yet left

[Skai]

The Taliban is strongly associated with Al Qaeda - and these have one ideology - a holy war with everyone around them and the world caliphate. is it just that they climbed into Uzbekistan in 2001 and now everything is torn to Tajikistan?

In principle, the mattresses sufficiently gave legitimacy to this movement by making the Taliban a party to the negotiations and signing an agreement with them on the withdrawal of their contingent, so given that these "bearded scouts" are geographically much closer to us than to the United States, we would probably it is advisable to transfer them from the category of a terrorist organization to the category of conditionally dangerous and gradually build contacts. In principle, the mattresses demonstrated the same by refusing to recognize Nusra as a terrorist organization. she does not threaten the United States and fights against the SAA and Assad.

Pakistan is in contact with them now. As for Iran, Suleimani, before the mattresses were eliminated, built bridges with the Taliban, who are now also participating in b / actions in Syria. On the way, the Iranians are in contact with them very closely. very soon, after the assassination of Soleimani, a mattress communication plane was destroyed in Afghanistan, on board of which was the main "entertainer" who planned and oversaw the operation to eliminate Soleimani. I don't think it's a coincidence.

Quote: Sky Strike fighter

The Central Asian republics will ask for help and someone will begin to help them, as is the case with the coronavirus in Europe.

So, the Taliban leader would say that they have no interests beyond the northern borders of Afghanistan, but given the fact that Igilov’s barmales hang out there, it’s possible that there will be some kind of b / d along the border. They will destroy the igilovites, or oust them to adjacent territories, since they consider them to be the same occupiers as the mattresses.

The main sources of income (other than drugs) are consumer goods smuggling, illegal mining and a very "not progressive" taxation of the population.
MAJOR sponsors-UAE, KSA.
PRC and RI supported Mujahideen / Dushmans.
Iran supports the Shiite "Union of Eight". PRC - "Northern Alliance".
When they entered the Mujahideen movement, and today they are opponents of the Taliban, ISIS and al-Qaeda.

The USSR had everything, until the population betrayed the army. But the United States does not succeed in this reason for gloating and maliciousness.

The US is confidently following the road of the USSR. Soon, all troops will be withdrawn from Afghanistan.

No. They go the way of England, it was they who led the troops out of their slumber.
The USSR left behind the state and the army, which lasted after our departure for 3 years and fell only after the betrayal of Yeltsin.
And the United States has now signed an agreement with its opponents. It is as if the USSR signed an agreement with the Dushmans.

[fn34440]

Who is financing them? The one who financed them in the war against the USSR.
On February 29, the United States and the Taliban made peace at a ceremony in Doha, Qatar. The agreement was signed by US Special Representative for Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad and Taliban deputy leader, head of the Qatari political office of the movement, Mullah Abdullah Gani Baradar.
That pokes with bayonets and dough in the back of the Taliban. Think about who.

[Kuzmitsky]

The Taliban are funded, possibly to a large extent by themselves, through the sale of drugs. But squeeze them especially. not in a hurry, after all, some kind of, but a counterbalance to the IS in Afghanistan. It seems that they have not yet found a common language with these barmaleas.

[Vitaly Tsymbal]

Clashes between the Taliban and "self-defense" ... it is the word "self-defense" in this case that can be key. In Afghanistan, each village has its own "self-defense". I think this is a local showdown and there is no big politics in this. Afghanistan is not a territory of eternal war, but a territory of eternal inter-tribal squabbles, where the main thing is not money ... It was always like this in this territory - before our era and in ours. Afghan is similar to our Dagestan. There are many small peoples there and there, but in Dagestan the culture of mutual respect was brought to Dagestan after the Caucasian War of 1817-1864 (almost 50 years). When the peoples of Dagestan got tired of killing strangers and their own, there came an understanding of mutual respect, and not an instinct for survival in a feudal-tribal system, as soon as Russia and the USSR cut off the "air" to the Turks, Persians, Arabs and the British, peace came to Dagestan. No matter how “funny” it may be to say, Afghanistan needs a king or Stalin (as a strong tyrannical leader, not as a communist).

and where is the map of mexico texas and california? there is peace and quiet; and the planes of the Israeli gangster air force also do not need to be shot down; and missiles in Cuba, too, do not need to be placed - you need to sit in your mink and wave your legs maybe will help

During the 1980s and 89s, the northern provinces were considered relatively "calm". And mattress makers "burn" everywhere.
