Taliban Benefit from Disputes Among Afghan Commanders
2011-01-20
[Tolo News] Taliban take advantage of some personal differences among Afghan military commanders, said a senior Afghan military commander in the north Wednesday.

General Weesa, Army Chief Commander in the north, said the differences have worsened security conditions in the north. The general declined to shed light on the differences.
"What kind of differences?"
"Personal differences!"

"There are some personal discrepancies, but a number of Taliban benefit from it to make the situation even worse," Gen. Weesa told TOLOnews.

More than 300 bully boyz have surrendered to government forces in northern Afghanistan in the past several weeks, top military officials said.

An increase in violence in once-peaceful north has made Afghan forces launch a couple of operations to take Taliban out of their northern strongholds.

Afghan army, nearly 150,000 in number, is expected to start undertaking responsibility for security in July this year.
