Taliban to be eliminated in a month, but for regional intelligence agencies fueling war: MoD
2016-11-07
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Ministry of Defense of Afghanistan (MoD) has said the elimination of the Taliban group fighters will not take more than a month but for the regional intelligence fueling the Afghan war by supporting the anti-government armed holy warriors.

MoD front man Gen. Dawlat Waziri told news hounds in 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....
that the ongoing war and violence in the country is an intelligence war, insisting that the Taliban resistance would not last more than a month if the group would wage insurgency alone.

He did not elaborate further regarding any specific regional intelligence agency but the Afghan officials have long been criticizing Pakistain’s Inter Services Intelligence for supporting the Afghan holy warriors.

The Afghan officials are saying that the leadership group of the Taliban and other holy warrior groups including the Haqqani terrorist network are based in Pakistain and are openly convening gatherings besides planning and coordinating attacks in Afghanistan.

In the meantime, Gen. Waziri said the Afghan forces recently seized a vehicle packed with hundreds of weapons, thousands of ammunition and explosives as the holy warriors were looking to transport it to equip their fighters.

He said the Afghan forces confiscated 430 Pak weapons including pistols and 23,800 rounds of ammunition in Badghis province.

Gen. Waziri appeared in a presser to update the media following a deadly clash in Kunduz on Thursday that left around 30 civilians dead.

Blaming the Taliban group for the civilian casualties, Gen. Waziri said the group continues to use the civilians as human shield and the group’s leaders and fighters are even reckless regarding their own family members.

According to Waziri, several family members of the Taliban group leaders were among those killed as the Afghan forces called for air support amid fierce clash.

The operation on Thursday was launched as the Taliban group leaders had gathered for a meeting to launch a fresh attack on Kunduz city.

Proof that 'Nation Building' actually works. Unfortunately they picked the wrong model.
