Afghan forces suppressing Taliban offensive with high morale: Gen. Murad
2016-08-26
I'm sure my Pashto would be even funnier than that bit of English, if I could speak Pashto.
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghan National Deputy Chief of Staff General Murad Ali Murad says the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) are suppressing the Taliban offensive in Kunduz with high morale.

Gen. Murad further added that the recent offensive by the Talibs has been successfully repulsed by the Afghan forces across the Kunduz province.

He said the residents of Kunduz province should be confident on Afghan forces as they continue to clear Kunduz district by district as per a proper plan.

The remarks by Gen. Murad came as the Talibs launched a coordinated attack in Kunduz province last week and managed to take control of key Khanabad district as well as Qala-e-Zal district.

The back to back victories by the Taliban holy warriors forced the Gen. Murad to visit the province and personally lead the clearance operations against the Taliban myrmidons.

In the meantime, the local residents feared that the Taliban holy warriors were on the verge taking control of the strategic Kunduz city once again as they captured it briefly last year.

The Taliban holy warriors have been attempting to take control of key districts in Kunduz including the strategic Kunduz city since they announced their spring offensive earlier in April this year.
