| [Tolo News] Emerging divisions among the Taliban leadership could present an opportunity for the Afghan cops to exert heightened military and intelligence pressure on the turban group, analysts told TOLOnews on Wednesday. "Intelligence forces, along with the security forces, must advance vigorously their intelligence performance and attract those groups who are interested in joining the grinding of the peace processor," political analyst Miagul Wasiq said. The comments come amid uncertainty surrounding the future of the peace negotiations process launched last month outside Islamabad, which came after months of intense fighting in southern, eastern and northern Afghanistan. The death of the Taliban's former supreme leader Mullah Omar ... a minor Pashtun commander in the war against the Soviets who made good as leader of the Taliban. As ruler of Afghanistan, he took the title Leader of the Faithful. The imposition of Pashtunkhwa on the nation institutionalized ignorance and brutality in a country already notable for its own fair share of ignorance and brutality... and the apparent succession of his former deputy Mullah Akhtar Mansour has prompted confusion and discord at the top of myrmidon group's ranks, raising questions about its cohesiveness and ability to meet the Afghan government in negotiations or on the battlefield. As of now, Afghan security officials in field report that they are picking up the pressure on myrmidon groups around the country. "Uzbekistani, Pak and local holy warriors were involved in a Faryab battle and we responded to them with full force," Special Police Forces Commander Asadullah Shirzad told TOLOnews on Wednesday. "A number of Taliban in Baghlan are currently engaged in battle with security forces, and believe me they [the Taliban] don't even know why they are fighting," Baghlan provincial NDS chief Abdul Rashid said. Thanks to intelligence work, Baghlan's security forces recently saw a major victory in their efforts to clear turban out of the province: Mohammad Yasin Taliban, the Taliban's local military operation commander, was jugged Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! in an operation in Kabul ...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... . According to Yasin, he was brought to Afghanistan from Pakistain and recruited in a Madrassa by a man named Mullah Younos. "I was in Pakistain in a Madrassa called Sultania and a man named Mullah Younos was calling and promoting for Jihad, so I also accepted the invitation," he told TOLOnews. The Ministry of Interior (MoI) has spoken of their determination to pushback the ground gained by turban groups over the spring fighting season. "Anywhere the enemy have movment and fight against the Afghan people, no doubt they will be suppressed and our pressure will keep on," MoI front man Siddiq Siddiqi said on Wednesday. |
