Afghanistan
Gen. Dostum returns to Kabul, declares Pakistan 'Enemy of Afghanistan'
2015-09-01
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The First Vice President Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum
...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier...
returned to 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 World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
today after participating in a month long military operation in northern provinces of Afghanistan, specifically in northern Faryab province.

Gen. Dostum appeared in a presser after his return from the north and accused Pakistain, particularly the country's military and Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) for being involved in the killing of innocent civilians and Afghan leaders.

According to Gen. Dostum, the enemies of Afghanistan are friends of Pakistain and the friends of Afghanistan are the enemies of Pakistain.

Declaring Pakistain as Afghanistan's enemy, the First Vice President called on international community to put pressure on the country.

He said he will discuss Pakistain with President Ghani during the National Security Council and offer his suggestion in this regard.

Displaying the boom jackets captured by the security forces while thwarting an liquidation plot against him, Gen. Dostum said "Pakistain sent four jacket wallahs to assassinate me," claiming the vests are made in Pakistain.

He also added that ISI is directly involved in the developments in Taliban leadership, gesturing towards the appointment of Mullah Akhtar Mansoor.

In regards to peace efforts aimed at ending the ongoing violence in the country, Gen. Dostum insisted that the country should be ready for combat while moving towards peace negotiations.

Gen. Dostum joined the Afghan cops in the frontline in northern Faryab province earlier this month.

He survived at least two liquidation plots by the anti-government armed krazed killer groups while he was leading counter-terrorism operations in Faryab.

The convoy of the First Vice President Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum was ambushed by the Taliban in turbans in Qaisar district of northern Faryab province last week.
