...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier...
has said he will go to frontline if the Talibs did not refrain from violence and surrender to the Afghan cops.
Speaking to a gathering of the Afghan cops in Qaisar district, Gen. Dostum said those Talibs who are having better knowledge of the realities should surrender and join the government of national unity. f
Gen. Dostum further added that the government will welcome all those Death Eaters belonging to Taliban, Haqqani network or any other bad boy group if they start contacts with the government and understand the ground realities.
However,
the way to a man's heart remains through his stomach...
he warned that he will personally go to the frontline if the Death Eaters did not stop further bloodshed by killing innocent people.
He said the Death Eaters do not have the capability to face the Afghan forces however if they resisted he said he will join the Afghan forces in the frontline with the official suit and tie to beat them.
Gen. Dostum set a deadline for the Talibs to surrender in northern parts of the country during a trip to northern Faryab province last month.
This comes as the acting provincial governor for northern Balkh province of Afghanistan Ata Mohammad Noor also said last month that joint operations will be launched to clear northern parts of the country from the bad boys.
Speaking during a ceremony to mark the first day of Eid al-Fitr in Mazar-e-Sharif city, Noor said the operations would be launched based on an agreement reached with First Vice President Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum and Second Deputy CEO Haji Mohammad Mohaqiq.
