Foreign Fighters' Presence Increasing in North: Koofi
[ToloNews] Fawzia Koofi, a member of the peace negotiating team representing the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Afghanistan in the talks with the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
, on Thursday said that the presence of foreign Taliban in the northern regions of Afghanistan, particularly along the Afghanistan-Tajikistan border, is threatening the security of those areas. She called for swift action to neutralize them.

Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, Jack stuck the cigar in his mouth, stepped onto the gantry, and asked Got a light, Mac?

Von Schtinken stopped short, lowering the dagger and trying to control his features.

If you light that thing, Herr Armschtröng, he pointed out, his voice tense, we all die!...

Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoyguv warned that Russia will act immediately if there is a threat emanating toward Central Asia from Afghanistan.

Chinese officials have expressed hope that the Taliban will fight against the "East Turkestan Islamic Movement" (ETIM)
...sometimes called the Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP), this Uighur jihadi group is listed under Tehrik-e-Taliban in the Al Qaeda organization table. Based in Badakshan with a second branch in Al Nusra-controlled Idlib-Latakia, Syria, only a rump group remains in China. The Russians and Americans take turns killing off their Syrian emirs — last I heard they were on their third Number 1 in three years, so he’s about due to kiss a missile...
holy warriors.
Is that likely?
"Now the activities and movements of foreign turbans have increased more than any time before along the border areas and in the strategic locations which have come under Taliban control, unfortunately," said Koofi.

Based on a Radio Azadi report, imported muscle reportedly with ties to Tajik holy warrior groups are present in some districts of Badakshan including Kuf Ab, Shekay, Nusay Maimai and Khawhan.

"In case there is a threat to our ally, Russia will respond within the framework of the Collective Security Treaty Organization," said Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoyguv. "In the initial step, Russia will use Base-201 in Tajikistan-Afghanistan border," he said.

The Russian defense minister also expressed deep concerns over the movement of ISIS fighters from Syria and Libya to Afghanistan.

"This is the collective responsibility of the international community to jointly combat the East Turkestan Islamic Movement. We hope that the Afghan Taliban draw a clear line to the terror groups and act against them seriously and robustly to remove the barriers," said Zhao Lijian, a front man for the Chinese foreign ministry.
