After four months of on-going festivities with krazed killers, the ANSF was finally able to drive out the alleged Pak-backed Death Eaters out of the district. The forces are currently conducting operations to tackle the roots of insurgency in the district. "Sangin faced a lot of hardships, but the fighting is over now," front man for the Ministry of Defense (MoD) Gen. Zahir Azimi told TOLOnews.

Azimi deems the air support of foreign forces to the ANSF essential in driving out the Death Eaters out of district. Former President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtunface on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use... 's lack of support for air attacks is considered one of the main reasons for the prolongation of the festivities in Sangin. However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... the support of foreign forces has reportedly increased since President Ashraf Ghani ...former chancellor of Kabul University. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money. .. and the new administration took office. "After the political transition and the signing of the Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA), the spirit of cooperation among the ANSF and international forces in all aspects, especially in air support, has increased," Azimi added. The front man for the Ministry of Interior (MoI) Sediq Sediqqi expressed a similar outlook of optimism about further cooperation between the national and international forces. "When we request the support of the international forces, they show flexibility and provide us with prompt support," he added. Meanwhile, ...back at the desert island, Bert was realizing to his horror that he'd had only one bottle for one message, and he'd forgotten to include a return address... the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), in a statement, expressed appreciation for the performance of the ANSF in Sangin, emphasizing that if needed, ISAF will provide air support to the Afghan forces after 2015. "As Regional Command Southwest ends its mission and ISAF transitions to Resolute Support in 2015, we will link ANSF in Helmand to an advisor team in Kabul that will continue to support institutional development and sustainment," the statement read. "This will include continued aviation support by ISAF, upon request of the ANSF, and the further development of the Afghan Air Force." |
