Afghan govt leader spotted in Fatemiyoun brigade gathering sparks concerns
2017-11-28
Are they given golden keys for unlocking the gates of Paradise? That’s what the Mullahs gave the boys sent to clear the minefields during the Iran-Iraq war.
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Amid growing concerns regarding the massive deployment of the Afghan youths in Syria war by Iran, the Afghan unity government deputy chief executive Haji Mohamamd Mohaqiq has been spotted in a gathering of the Fatemiyoun brigade operating under the Iranian Revutionary Guard to fight in Syria, a move which has further sparked concerns among the people regarding the fate of the Afghan youths who die and those returning to the country from the Syrian conflict.

Mohaqiq has reportedly attended the gathering in Tehran to praise the youths and Fatemiyoun brigade for the turing the conflict in Syria into the favor of the regime in power led by Bashir al-Assad.

He has reportedly hailed the leader of Hezb-e-Ullah Hasan Nasrullha and the commander of the Fatemiyoun brigade for their recent victory in the war.

However,
there's more than one way to skin a cat...
back in Afghanistan, the government officials and people are concerned that the participation of the Afghan youths will have a negative impact on the situation of the country.

An Afghan politician Ghulam Farooq Majroh says the participation of the Afghan youths in Syria conflicts and government officials endorsing such moves will have a negative impact on the country, considering the ongoing situation in the country.

The former Afghan intelligence chief Rahmatullah Nabil had earlier warned that the deployment of the Afghan youths to Syria may shift the Iran-Saudi rivalry to Afghanistan.

Amid growing concerns regarding the massive recruitment of the Afghan youths by Iran for the Syrian conflict, Nabil has called the move by Iran as a quite dangerous move.

#1  Isn't that what Iran did in the Iran - Iraq war? I recall reports of Iran breaching minefields with mobs of conscripts, who may have not been armed.
I can't find anything on that at the moment. One of reasons I thoroughly dislike the mullahs. Iran used to be beautiful.
