2021-12-08
That’s one way to move the recalcitrants among the Talib cannon fodder far from the children of the citizenry they consider their rightful booty.
[KhaamaPress] A front man of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Inamullah Samangani said that the leadership has created a special military unit to protect forests in seven provinces of Afghanistan.

Inamullah Samangani in a series of Twitter posts said that the 450-member unit will be assigned not only to protect forests but also to prevent deforestation and trafficking of the forests.

"100 members of the unit will be assigned in Kabul and 50 more will be assigned Nuristan, Khost, Laghman
...Afghan province with a population of about 445,600, which is multi-ethnic and mostly a rural society. During the invasions of Alexander the Great, the area was known as Lampaka, wich is apparently Olde Macedonian for Laghman.The city of Mihtarlam serves as the bucolic capital of the province. The population is half Pashtun, the remainder Tadjik and Pashai. It had a repution for great wealth until it was conquered in the tenth century by Abu Mansur Sabuktigin.
He conquered it and set fire to the places in its vicinity which were inhabited by infidels, and demolishing the idol-temples, he established Islam in them, He marched and captured other cities and killed the polluted wretches, destroying the idolatrous and gratifying the Musulmans. After wounding and killing beyond all measure, his hands and those of his friends became cold in counting the value of the plundered property.
After that it was mostly notable for the production of dirt, rocks, and holy men...
, Paktia, Paktika
...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo...
, and Nengarhar provinces each." Reads Twitter posts.

This is the first time Afghanistan witnesses a special unit for the protection of forests in Afghanistan that is named "Green Unit".

Illegal mining and deforestation in different provinces of Afghanistan have been one of the biggest issues that have concerned not only people in the country but the previous governments about the natural resources of Afghanistan.
