ANDSF Repels Scores of Taliban Attacks in Past 24 Hours: MoD
[ToloNews] The Afghan Ministry of Defense on Monday said that Afghan National Security and Defense Forces (ANDSF) repelled scores of attacks initiated by the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
in 15 provinces over the past 24 hours.

"Tens of Taliban attacks were repelled and shut-down--the Taliban suffered heavy setbacks," said Fawad Aman, deputy front man for the Ministry of Defense.

Kunar, Nuristan, 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..
, Maidan Wardak, Paktia, Paktika
...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo...
, Pashtun-infested Logar, Kandahar, Badghis, Farah, Faryab, Balkh, Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
, Nimroz, Badakhshan, Baghlan, Takhar and Kunduz are among the provinces where ANDSF faced off with the Taliban and dealt major blows to the krazed killers, said the Defense Ministry.

Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, the gondola was dangling by a single thread of rope.

Jack! Cynthia cried. I just realized I'm afraid of heights! I don't even like high heels!...

Roland Kobia, the EU’s special envoy to Afghanistan has said that Ramadan must be the month of peace, not increased violence. He said that the killing and wounding of 66 civilians by the Taliban in the first week of Ramadan is a concerning issue.

Despite calls on the international level, the Taliban have increased attacks on Afghan forces. According to the Ministry of Interior, last night the Taliban launched a brazen attack on a checkpoint of government forces in the Noorak area of Zabul province, which resulted in the death of "18 Taliban fighters."

"Unfortunately, the Taliban have increased violence during the holy month of Ramadan, but whenever they tried to plot an attack, the Afghan National Security and Defense Forces dealt major blows to the group," said Tariq Aryan, a front man to the Ministry of Interior.

" (The Taliban) neither respect Ramadan nor the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
, while on the other side there is poverty," said MP Baktash Eshchi.
