Kunduz update

[saiyan0321]

The looting done by the taliban and by looting I mean the stealing of police and military armoury and hospital and medical supplies and ofcourse the stealing of banks will aid the taliban a lot. The afghan govt and army must focus on its weaknesses and strategy rather than blaming Pakistan as kunduz is located far north bordering near Tajikistan which is far from Pakistan and even Taliban controlled areas. The real question is why are the reinforcement taking so long and why is the counter attack being repulsed by the taliban. The fact that the attempts at retaking have been unsuccessful and the taliban have still control in the city showcases the glaring weakness of ANA...

As for the resignation of ghani. Considering how weak the afghan govt us a regime change atvsuch a crucial moment when the govt is weak, the NATO and America are leaving, the people are losing trust, the taliban are rising and Isis is trying to find a foothold, thus at such a crucial time a change of power would be detrimental. A move by the power hungry vultures in a weak govt.

This has to be biggest slap on the Face for those who ruined a peace deal in Afghanistan! Will Pakistan be blamed as most of Pakistani territory where Taliban had gathered has been denied and further more Kunduz Like Helmand does not border Pakistan.

You have been reported, grow up and stop cursing.



I have no time to talk to a terrorist apologist like yourself, stop tagging me. I hope you do realize that the moment Afghan taliban take over Afghanistan, you will be next, your head will roll as well. Their TTP brethren have no love lost for you, so be careful what you wish for.

Pathetic people such as yourself call murderers as Mujahedin, shame on you.

wish Afghanis peace & security. Please ignore the unthoughtful posters. They don’t represent everyone's view in Pakistan
our prosperity & peace is interlinked we cant remain unaffected if either one of us sufferers at the hands of terrorists.
the actions of Afghan Taliban cant be justified, the occupation forces are gone. If they consider themselves to be well wishers of Afghanistan then they should stop destorying it

Can an expert explain why south Afghanistan is relatively calm, and most of the fighting is in the north?

those that ruined our efforts cant care less
they on the contrary are celebrating in their speeches that they sabotaged our efforts. they might appear to be well wishers of Afghans but they hate them as much as they hate us and will continue to deceive them to settle their stated goals against Pakistan specially against Gawadar and PCEC. Afghan taliban must stop the destruction of Afghanistan and murder of its people (civilian or uniformed) otherwise they will eventually loose in the end since there is no space for their rigid stance in Pakistan anymore.. Americans are their enemies and Saudis cant care less for them.

The ANA northern alliance scumbags are heavily concentrated in south-eastern Afghanistan in Pashtun belt. I'm guessing the taliban are probably trying to spread ANA forces thin. Also Kunduz is one of the few provinces in the North of Afghanistan that have been majority to Pashtuns.

So the Afghan army's performance is decent, unlike the Iraqi, but it's the militias who literally hand over an entire city.

Taliban claiming that they have completely capture airport......... and they have capture Bala Hisar base in north of Kunduz as well..

maybe bcoz Afghan forces have lesser concentration on security of northern areas... bcoz they were relatively peacefull then southern regions....

Well if there is one thing that can be drawn from this is that those orchestrating these events will eventually be unmasked because nothing can stay hidden for ever, things like these get exposed. US wants out of that country and what can few handful of special forces achieve when the bulk of ANA is useless. Weather one like it or not Dialog with Afghan Taliban is the only forward!

A majority of lower end ANA soldiers are drug addicts and bachay baaz(pedophiles), but their special forces are pretty impressive.

They have probably as part of various NATO led operations as well as the Pakistani operation Zarb e Azb lost thier bases in the border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan i.e. the South East. However now they seemed to have regrouped further north and are targetting Badakshan and Kunduz provinces (Taliban captures district in northeast Afghanistan - Al Jazeera English )

Why are Pashtuns absorbed to terrorist groups so easily? There is something wrong with education or mentality of some of them. Maybe illiteracy is the main reason, and Taliban knows well how to exploit it.

Pashtuns are rebellious by nature and don't take shit from anyone. They can't even get along with other tribes that are Pashtun. @Samandri is a Pashtun, so he can explain to you. I feel that I am unable to explain Pashtun tribal nature, because I am Punjabi. Taliban are not illiterate, they are just very conservative. Much like your Mullahs, but they are a little bit more extreme?

Again, I am no expert on tribal Pashtuns, and only they can give you a fair assessment.
