There are signs of preparations starting for a new war against the Taliban, which took power in Afghanistan in August last year. A former Afghan army general has said he is preparing to launch a new war against the Taliban with former soldiers and politicians.
The BBC quoted Lieutenant General Sami Saadat, who commanded Afghanistan’s government security forces in the southern province of Helmand during the Taliban attack, as saying that the eight-month Taliban regime has convinced many Afghans that military action is the only way forward. way.
He said the war could start after Eid next month. He plans to return to Afghanistan at the same time. The former general said he and others would do everything within their powers to ensure that Afghanistan is liberated from the Taliban and a democratic order is re-established. “We will keep fighting until we get our freedom,” he said.
“What we have seen in Afghanistan during the eight months of Taliban rule is nothing but religious restrictions and misquoting, misinterpretation and misuse of the Holy Quran for political purposes,” he said.
“The Taliban were given 12 months to see if they would change, but unfortunately, you wake up every day to see the Taliban committing new atrocities,” he said. We are not against Taliban. Afghanistan should be a country that is friendly to everyone, not just the Taliban.
