Former Govt Forces Join Daesh: Reports
|
[ToloNews] The Wall Street journal reported on Sunday that some security forces of the former Afghan government who feared for their personal safety had joined ISIS-K (ISIS).
The report said some of these former security forces were trained by US troops over the past two decades of the West's mission in Afghanistan.
"Some former members of Afghanistan’s US-trained intelligence service and elite military units-now abandoned by their American patrons and hunted by the Taliban
 ...mindless ferocity in a turban...
- have enlisted in the only force currently challenging the country’s new rulers: Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
," The Wall Street Journal said.
In reaction to the report, the Ministry of Interior said that a general amnesty was announced by the Islamic Emirate and that no one including the former security forces should have any concern regarding their security.
"The Islamic Emirate announced general amnesty and no one including the former security forces should worry about their personal security because no member of the Islamic Emirate has anything to do with them," said Sayed Khosti, a front man for the Interior Ministry.
Earlier, the two-day Moscow conference on October 20 and 21 called for incentivizing the security of Afghanistan's borders, fearing the spread of extremism or the possible threat of ISIS.
"This is a baseless report. ISIS is not as active as it is being said. The general amnesty should also be practical example to (show) that no one’s life is in danger,’ said, Aziz Maarij, a former diplomat.
Some said economic challenges and joblessness are also reasons that forced the former security forces to join the ISIS group.
"The scenario of Iraq will repeat in Afghanistan," said Asadullah Nadim, a military analyst. "In Iraq also the security forces of the previous government made up a big part of ISIS and this all is happening due to the negligence of government."
The Islamic Emirate downplayed ISIS, calling it a slight problem and accusing the US of making propaganda of the ISIS activities in Afghanistan.
The former personnel is mostly US-trained Afghan spies who have been joining the terror group in northern Afghanistan.
Ahah! A location! Or a general direction, at any rate... After the Taliban takeover, northern resistance was the only resisting group that was co-led by Ahmad Masoud and former first VP Amrullah Saleh in the north of Afghanistan namely in Panjshri province.
The group is though defeated, some members claim that they are regrouping and are waging attacks on the Taliban fighters.
The number of people joining the militant group is small though it is growing.
The Taliban have always underestimated ISIS-K and have assured the people and regional countries that the group will not resist and will not pose threat to the Afghan people and the region.
