It's quite possible. You guys act as though taliban,can execute and maintain their war efforts without external,help. It's not possible. Be objective.saying Pakistan,hasn't helped Taliban is like saying bin Laden wasn't killed in Pakistan.Iran,has helped the Taliban before,that's a fact.it.mightve been smallchelp or help to a fringe taliban,grp, but it still happened or is still happening. Its impossoble for Weak countries like Afghanistan to block external forces.

So ur argument is that Afghan Taliban have help from "someone" in funding/arming them right?

Hmm makes sense...but u see when Pakistan brings up this same logic about TTP(Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan), the ones fighting Pak Army and blowing up Pak civilians, all of a sudden the same logic doesn't apply. For some reason the blame still falls on Pakistan...that the Pakistanis are "differentiating between good/bad terrorists"...or that "Talibans are not being supported by other countries and that it's all just drug money by growing opium in Afghanistan" etc.

So on one hand Afghanistan denies helping/supporting TTP(creating unrest in Pak) and then turns around and says that Pak is supporting Afghan Talibans(creating unrest in Afghanistan)...amazing Afghan logic.

And Russia is responsible for any failure in the north east Afghanistan

Everyone is responsible but Afghans themselves

Everyone wants to bring to Mayor of Kabul.

Taliban's offensive in Farah have failed; US troops have intervened and turned the tide of this battle.

Well some do, hence the resistance and others see it as a liberation... that is why there is civil war in Afghanistan..

Why insult Afghan people? Its not their fault that they are occupied

Well some of them do not consider NATO to be an occupier but a liberator. That is the main issue. Some Afghans see NATO as an occupier and see those Afghans who work with NATO as collaborators, and other Afghans see NATO as a force of liberators and see those Afghans who resist NATO as terrorists...

it is evident since Israel is now active in Afghanistan and Iran's backyard.

Farah 'getting back to normal' but scars of heavy fighting remain
yesterday
A sense of normality appears to have slowly returned to the Afghan city of Farah after it witnessed some of the heaviest fighting in the country in months.

Taliban fighters on Tuesday attacked the city, capital of the western province of the same name, and overran several security checkpoints.

A battle between government forces and the fighters ensued, lasting for about 24 hours. A second Taliban assault was launched in the early hours of Thursday.

Officials said the fierce fighting left at least 25 security personnel and 300 fighters dead. The numbers could not be independently verified.

The city's main square was under Taliban control for hours before Afghan special forces, backed by US airpower, were able to drive the fighters out.

"Farah is getting back to normal," Al Jazeera's Jennifer Glasse said from the capital, Kabul on Saturday, after returning from the city, which is home to more than 50,000 people.

"Some shops are open, and people are gradually coming out to the streets ... a couple of trucks delivering supplies - but the scars of what happened just four days ago are still there," she added.

Residents' complaints
While Afghan and allied US security forces have since regained control of the city, the Taliban offensive came as a shock to the government and security forces who seemed ill-equipped to deal with the situation.

"Reinforcement and commandos had to be brought in, and the US air force got involved overhead assisting the Afghan air force in driving the Taliban out of the city".

A delegation of high-level officials, including the ministers of interior and defence and the chief of intelligence, headed to Farah on Saturday, where they met local representatives.

According to Glasse, many residents complained that officials had not heeded their warnings.

"People say they had warned the government that the Taliban was threatening the city," she said.

"They have asked for more attention from the government because they say this is such a key transit point."

"The ministers said they will bring all those things back to Kabul and that leaders who didn't perform will be changed. They recognise that the forces didn't do as well as they could have."

Meanwhile, authorities have shut down hundreds of schools across the western province.

Mohammad Sadiq Halimi, deputy head of the department of education in Farah, said 411 educational facilities had been sealed off, according to DPA news agency.

The sites included 379 primary schools, 32 higher education institutes and a teacher training centre.

The education ministry said on Thursday the recent closures are temporary and aimed at protecting students and school staff. They are set to re-open at the end of Ramadan, around June 12.

Some 1,000 schools are closed across the country due to the ongoing conflict, according to the ministry.

Afghan forces have struggled to combat the Taliban in recent years, as the fighters seized several districts across the country.

The US and NATO formally concluded their combat mission at the end of 2014, but still provide support.
