Afghan forces to receive 10,000 Ak-47s from Russia this month
2016-01-14
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The delivery of ten thousand AK-47 assault rifles by Russia to the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) will be completed by this month, the officials said Wednesday.

A front man for the National Security Adviser, Tawab Ghorzang, said Deputy National Security Adviser Mohammad Sulaiman Kakar met with the Russian Ambassador to Afghanistan Mr. Alexander Mantytskiy in his office today.

He said the two sides discussed bilateral relations and joint fight against terrorism by 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....
and Moscow.

Mr. Kakar also held talks over the Afghan peace efforts and Russia's military support to the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF), Ghorzang said, adding that Mr. Kakar emphasized on regional cooperation to combat terrorism.

Meanwhile,
...back at the Hubba Hubba Club, Nunzio wondered: Where the hell was Chumbaloni? And where was his $600?...
the Russian Ambassador said Moscow remains committed to support the Afghan government in reconciliation process with the anti-government armed bad boy grouips.

He also reaffirmed Moscow's support to Afghanistan in all sectors and informed the Deputy National Security Adviser regarding the delivery of ten thousand AK-47 Assault Rifles to Afghanistan this month.

This comes as the Afghan government has stepped up efforts to attract the regional as well as global support to equip the Afghan national security forces.

The delivery of the assault rifles is part of Russia's support to bolster the capabilities of the Afghan cops to fight the menace of terrorism.

"Russia has been consistently pursuing the policy of providing comprehensive assistance to Afghanistan in the establishment of a peaceful, independent, stable and self-sufficient state, free from terrorism and drugs," Russian President's special envoy for Afghanistan, Zamir Kabulov said late in December last year while informing regarding the dispatch of the rifles to the Afghan forces.

The jungle may run out of bugs,
And DC see no more of Plugs,
But thuggish Afghanis
Will burn rugs and monies
Before ever giving up drugs.
