...Afghan province with a population of about 445,600, which is multi-ethnic and mostly a rural society. During the invasions of Alexander the Great, the area was known as Lampaka, wich is apparently Olde Macedonian for Laghman.The city of Mihtarlam serves as the bucolic capital of the province. The population is half Pashtun, the remainder Tadjik and Pashai. It had a repution for great wealth until it was conquered in the tenth century by Abu Mansur Sabuktigin.
He conquered it and set fire to the places in its vicinity which were inhabited by infidels, and demolishing the idol-temples, he established Islam in them, He marched and captured other cities and killed the polluted wretches, destroying the idolatrous and gratifying the Musulmans. After wounding and killing beyond all measure, his hands and those of his friends became cold in counting the value of the plundered property.

as a result of the counterattacks by the Afghan security and defense forces," said Fawad Aman, a deputy front man for the Ministry of Defense.

The southern province of Helmand is one of the volatile regions where recent fighting has left thousands of people homeless. Three weeks have passed since the Taliban launch a major offensive on the bustling provincial capital, Lashkargah city. Some families in Helmand said they still have not received the bodies of their sons who were killed while serving in the ranks of the Afghan cops in the Babaji area of Greshk district. 17 soldiers were reportedly killed as a result of the fighting in Greshk a week ago.

"The Taliban managed to infiltrate and bomb the checkpoint, 17 were martyred and have been trapped there," said Samiullah, the head of Badakhshan People’s Council.

In Uruzgan province, there are reports of fierce fighting in Dehrawod district between the Afghan cops and the Taliban. Many families have left their homes and sought shelter on the roads.

"If the dead bodies of the deaders are not recovered there will be no spirit to fight and defend," said Abdul Aziz Aziz, a former member of parliament.

"We suffered massive financial damages after the war erupted in our area," said Mohammad Nabi Aka, a resident of Dehrawod district in Uruzgan.

"We are living in a severe situation, we live under tents on the streets, we hope the government hears our voice," said Abdul Malik, a resident of Urozgan.

"We are in Dehrawod to repel enemy attacks," said Mohammad Khitab, the commander of the Uruzgan police.

’s Resolute Support Mission (RS) in Afghanistan has said that two of its forces were maimed in the southern province of Kandahar on Wednesday after their vehicle hit a roadside mine. This is the first injury among the NATO forces in Afghanistan since the signing of the Doha peace agreement between the US and the Taliban on February 29.

Some Afghan military analysts have questioned the Afghan government’s security strategy.

"The Taliban increase attacks to achieve more leverage at the peace negotiation table," said Daud Amin, a military expert.

The surge in violence in Afghanistan comes as the peace negotiations between the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Afghanistan and the Taliban is currently underway in Doha with the two sides struggling to finalize the procedural rules intended for the agenda of the formal talks.
