"There were lots of pressure on them. They finally handed over the districts," said Abdul Matin Qudosi, member of Parwan provincial council.

"We have a great morale and ready to retake other areas," said Mohammad Haikal, Ali Abad district chief.

Meanwhile,
...back at the the conspirators' cleverly concealed hideout the long-awaited message arrived. They quickly got to work with their decoder rings...
some residents of Ghazni city said that the rise in Taliban attacks has worsened the security situation in the province.

"I hope that the central government focus on Ghazni and increase the number of troops," said Ali, a resident of Ghazni.

Officials said that security forces will not allow the Taliban to pose threats to Ghanzi.

"We will fight against the enemy. We will not allow the enemy to impose oppression on the residents of Ghazni, and Afghanistan in general," Ghazni police chief Fazel Ahmad Shirzad said.

This comes as President Ashraf Ghani
...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money...
on Saturday said he sees the Taliban responsible for the ongoing violence in the country in which at least 200 to 600 people are killed every day.

Addressing a gathering in Khost province
... across the border from Miranshah, within commuting distance of Haqqani hangouts such as Datta Khel and probably within sight of Mordor. Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name...
, Ghani asked the nation to stay united in support for independence, the republic and coexistence.

"The Taliban is responsible for the continuation of the war," Ghani said. "Taliban should be asked whom they are fighting for? Who will benefit if Afghanistan is ruined and if Afghans are killed?"

Defense Ministry said that 191 Taliban fighters were killed in Afghan forces operations in different parts of the country in the last 24 hours. Taliban has rejected the figures.
