"We will continue our operations. We will defend our country," said Yasin, member of public uprising forces.

"We call on the government to help security forces in their operations," said Karim, member of public uprising forces in Ghor.

The operations are underway in four areas including Jam, Maidanak, Bara Khana and Baidan areas along Herat
...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns...

"We have launched ground and air operations in the western parts of Feroz Koh [city] in which the Lions of Islam have suffered heavy losses," he said.
