Key Helmand Officials Clash Over War Leadership
[Tolo News] A number of security sources told TOLOnews that a discussion between head of military operations in Helmand...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... , Abdul Jabbar Qahraman and police chief of the province, Aqa Noor Kintoz, has led into a verbal clash between the two key officials over the war leadership in the southern province. The sources said Qahraman has warned the police chief that he will fired. In a chat with TOLOnews, Qahraman rejected the allegations and assured that there is a good coordination among security forces in Helmand. "Such arguments happen when there are challenges, especially in war and it is quite usual, but it does not mean that we do not have coordination. We do have coordination; even we are not disconnected one second from each other. But oppositions want to use this issue for their own interests," Qahraman said. However, a woman is only as old as she admits... Helmand police chief refused to comment on the issue. It is said that lack of cooperation, poor war management, appointment based on relationships and corruption in security agencies are the main reasons behind the increased insecurity in parts of the country. "We [Helmand residents] urge the central government to pay the required attention to Helmand and send reinforcements here. Otherwise, the scenic provincial capital, police headquarter, local government buildings and other state offices will fall to the Taliban," said Mohammad Hashim Alokozay, member of Meshrano Jirga (Upper House of Parliament). Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Count Guido had escaped from his bonds and overwhelmed his guard using the bludgeon the faithful Filomena had smuggled to him in the loaf of bread... Ministry of Defense (MoD) said dozens of forces of Evil have been killed so far and that festivities are ongoing in Nawa and Chah Anjir districts in the province. "There is coordination among security forces. The head of operations is responsible for coordination among the soldiers and he is satisfied with the way we are working. Yesterday [Wednesday], we transferred supplies to Lashkargah by land and we reconstructed parts of the highway in Marjah. We ensured the safety of the areas," MoD's deputy front man Mohammad Radmanish. Posted by: Fred 2016-10-14 |
