Afghanistan
Taliban vows to prevent presidential elections, target election gatherings
2019-08-07
[KhaamaPress] The Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
group has vowed to prevent the September Presidential elections in Afghanistan, calling the elections a ’sham process’.

The group issued a statement earlier today that it shall exert utmost efforts in preventing the elections.

The statement further added that the group calls on Afghans to boycott the elections and not to partake in any campaign rallies.

Furthermore, the Taliban group claimed that the participation of the Afghans ’will only be used as a ruse by the invaders and their hirelings to gain validity.’

Taliban also claimed that the control of the elections including the funding, management, monitoring and final decision of the process is in the hands of the foreigners.

Meanwhile,
...back at the revival hall, the congregants were being herded into the paddy wagon...
the Taliban group said "negotiations are underway to bring an end to the occupation and arrangements for intra-Afghan understanding are being put into place."
One of the understandings being that the common folk of Afghanistan will keep their heads down and stop having opinions about the doings of their betters?
