| [Tolo News] Dozens of eastern Kapisa province residents started an uprising against the Taliban in their local areas to drive them out after the beturbanned goons threatened schools and other public services in the province. The residents of Kapisa's Nijrab district said that they took up arms against the Taliban in order to reopen schools, clinics, and resume other social activities which were being stopped by their threats. A resident of Nijrab told TOLOnews: "We don't want the Taliban cut-throats in the district. We want to drive them out. They are threatening the residents and want to make the district insecure." Another resident said: "We want peace in our district and Afghanistan. Every day, dozens of residents join with us and the tribe elders also help us in the uprising." One resident said that the 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... , did not care about the province and security was diminishing each day, to the concern of the people. "We don't want the cut-throats placing roadside kabooms and being active in the district. If they do not leave the province, they will face the reaction of the people," he added. In Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. last week residents of Shigal and Dangam districts called on the Taliban cut-throats to leave. The tribal elders had a meeting with residents and the decision was made to fight back. The warning was given by the elders that "if the cut-throats do not leave the district, we will take up arms and launch an uprising against them." Ordinary civilians fighting back against the jihad boy Islamists was first reported in eastern Ghazni province in June. Since then it has continued to be reported in several parts of Afghanistan, including, Faryab and Laghman. It comes as Afghan politicians recently raised concerns over the rise of "illegal" militia, and also whether another jihad boy group Hezb-e-Islami is taking advantage of the uprisings in villages to wrest power from the Taliban. They called for the government to closely monitor these situations in order to prevent other groups from gaining power in the upheaval. The National Directorate of Security (NDS) has said that they will monitor the uprisings and prevent any enemy infiltration but rejected any suggestion of Hezb-e-Islami's involvement saying that people are tired of their cruelty and will never fight in favor of them. |
