China Offers Afghanistan Army Expanded Military Aid
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] China has offered the Afghanistan army expanded military aid to combat the Taliban, according to the Afghan Defense Ministry, a move that reflects Beijing’s readiness to deepen its engagement with the war-torn country, The Wall Street Journal reports.The offer was made during a rare, high-level visit at the end of February by a Chinese military delegation headed by General Fang Fenghui, chief of the Joint Staff Department of the People’s Liberation Army, Afghan officials said. China has been wary of publicly supporting the Afghan military against the Taliban, as it nurtures relations with the holy warrior group in an effort to be seen as a neutral party in the conflict and help the grinding of the peace processor. However, a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... deteriorating security and the emergence of Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... has prompted China to take a more active role in Afghanistan. Posted by: Fred 2016-03-10 |
