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..
province.

The Governor’s Office of Nangarhar in a statement said Wednesday the Taliban and ISIS snuffies renounced violence due to the efforts of provincial intelligence officials.

...back at the wreckage, Captain Poindexter wished he had thought to pack sun block...
the governor of Nangarhar Shah Mahmood Mia Khel said 7 ISIS snuffies and 17 Taliban fighters renounced violence and joined grinding of the peace processor.

Mia Khel further added that the snuffies also handed over their weapons to security forces.

He also added that the snuffies were involved in destructive activities in Surkh Rod, Chaparhar, Khogyani, Momandara, Lalpur and Ghani Khel districts.

According to Mia Khel, around 550 ISIS and Talibs have renounced violence in Nangarhar province since the start of the year.
If they all permanently retired from jihad, that’s impressive. If they’re just taking a little holiday, that’s impressive in a different way.
Both Taliban and Nangarhar are active in some remote districts of Nangarhar and often conduct terrorist related activities.
