Islamabad Reluctant To Tackle Taliban On Its Soil: MoI

Ministry of Interior (MoI) said Sunday that Pakistan is reluctant to heed Afghanistan's call for them to eliminate the Taliban on its soil and that Islamabad has failed to realize the importance of eradicating the insurgent group in its country.

There is no indication of Pakistan's willingness to target the Taliban and destroy their military bases on its soil, said Sediq Sediqqi, a spokesman for the ministry of interior on Sunday.

The MoI lashed out over Pakistan's policy on the Taliban. This comes during heightened tension in Afghanistan over an unprecedented surge in violence in the country.

On Sunday, the MoI said the scale of threats and insurgency in the country has been quite high, something the ministry believes has made difficult for Afghan forces to tackle.

Statistics reveal that right now, 14 districts are without security forces while another 111 districts are under serious security threats with the security forces battling Taliban on several fronts.

"The scale of threats are much higher. There are several terrorist groups that operate in Afghanistan. We cannot settle all threats within three or four months despite the security forces' continued efforts during winter. We launched operations in every area where there was a threat," Sediqqi said.

It is believed that the Taliban has returned to certain areas from where they were pushed back by security forces in recent months.

"In areas where you do not work, the enemy works there, districts where there is no district chief are areas under control of the enemy. The enemy completes its works there," former deputy minister of interior, Mirza Mohammad Yarmand said.

Meanwhile, some Afghan political commentators have said that the lack of government's sovereignty in some parts of the country has brought about a power vacuum, which helps insurgents infiltrate these areas.

According to statistics, currently 18 districts are without chiefs, 14 districts are without security forces while another 111 districts are under serious security threats including 24 districts where there are development projects.

On the issue of Pakistan, Sediqqi said: "Their funding sources weren't rooted out and Madrasas where they are providing training were not closed."

While concerns over the upsurge in Taliban insurgency in the country gathers momentum, the interior ministry once again pointed a finger at Pakistan's Taliban policy, accusing the neighboring nation of not helping to bring Taliban to its knees and for failing to strengthen peace and stability in Afghanistan.

Afghan forces are currently involved in 16 counterinsurgency operations in twelve provinces in their bid to curb Taliban advances.

Despite the embattled Afghan forces having inflicted heavy casualty tolls against the resurgent movement, the Taliban's insurgency shows no sign of ending.

So far in these operations, 100 Taliban members have been killed and another 30 Taliban fighters wounded.

After recent spring offensive this statement was expected. As usual they have to find cushion to bounce their own failures on.

Meanwhile, some Afghan political commentators have said that the lack of government's sovereignty in some parts of the country has brought about a power vacuum, which helps insurgents infiltrate these areas.

Well they can't hide behind that excuse for very long... they are incompetent and unable to deliver the promise they have made to their people... now blaming it on Pakistan will not help them ... if they wouldn't pull their $hit together... they are deemed to be overrun by Taliban... As for the Pakistan is reluctant ..well Pakistan was determined to pay the price to get rid of them ... and we have kicked them out in to Afghanistan... there are no safe heavens for them in Pakistan now and there are not troubled areas from them in Afghanistan because they just smoke hashish ... and blame everything on Pakistan

 

[Talwar e Pakistan]

Are they fucking serious?

We've killed 4000 terrorists in the operation, thousands have been executed, another several thousand are awaiting execution or anti-radicalization programs.

What have they done?

Sir they had done alot. They had led a red a carpet welcome to fleeing talis by keeping their borders open and had settled them in Afghan areas bordering Pakistan. After having done that the only thing they now do is crying wolf and HE DID IT like kids game.

Look who is talking....

 

[saiyan0321]

So its our fault that your incompetent army has allowed the tllaliban so many victories that they aren't even willing to sit down and talk. Its our fault that your army is struggling, that your forces are deserting with weapons and joining the enemy. We have faced threats and districts take over as well but we fought back and eliminated them and would have annihilated them if your govt hadn't allowed them safe passage through the Durand line with the thinking of keeping those assets against Pakistan.

We are trying to bring them to talks but they are not listening bcz you keep losing. How about win for once, push them back so that they can sit at the table.

So basically what they want to say is that Islamabad is reluctant to act upon "Afghan Farmaishi" program even knowing well that Pakistan's most wanted terrorists are hiding in Afghanistan ...................

Afghan govt have always blamed pakistan for its failures. If they have tried to find the real causes of their failures, afghanistan would have much more peaceful by now.
