Looks like Afghanistan Liberation Movement is owning Sher Agha
This is believed to be the only major Pashtun anti-Taliban group. Led by Abdul Mateen Sulaimankhail, a former Afghan Army special forces commander, the group launched on February 16. Sulaimankhail has said he set up the group in response to the Taliban’s alleged killings of former military personnel, calling their amnesty a "lie." In an April 13 interview with the Afghanistan International TV network, Sulaimankhail claimed his group was engaged in “military and political activities” in 26 of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces, a claim questioned by researchers. Citing security reasons, he declined to say how many members his group has. The group has claimed responsibility for attacks in its home base of Nangarhar and several other provinces, but it has offered little proof of the attacks, with videos posted on the group’s Facebook page showing armed masked men indoors vowing to fight the Taliban. While the group’s recent claim of killing a Taliban commander in Helmand appears credible, Mills said its “actual capability seems to be limited.” Related: Sher Agha: 2019-03-24 Afghan Air Force’s A-29s and MD-530s target Taliban hideouts in Kunar and Kapisa, 2 Talib bomb makers tied up in Kapisa Sher Agha: 2019-02-03 Taliban leader and Mullah Manan’s close relative killed in Helmand airstrike Sher Agha: 2018-01-26 Taliban loses two commanders during clashes in Faryab province Posted by: trailing wife 2022-07-08 |
