Afghan forces take control of strategic place – Nangarhar
The largest cross-border trafficking corridor of weapons, ammunition, explosives for Jaish-e-Mohammad, Lashkar-e-Taiba and other terrorist groups in Mohmand Dara district of Nangarhar, was conquered by the National Security Forces in two decades after several days of fighting.
The commander of the NDS in Nangarhar province said that there are several such other crossings at point zero of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, which are still under the terrorists.
Security forces say they have managed to capture the Ghorki crossing in the Mohmand Dara district of Nangarhar province from the terrorist groups after eight days of fierce fighting.
According to security forces, the valley, located at the borderland with Pakistan, was a transit point for the terrorist groups.
Malik Dehqan, the local NDS commander, said that losing the crossing back to the enemy would be more costly for the government.
After a three-hour trip to the village of Ghorki in the Mohmand Dara district, Ariana News correspondent arrived at point zero of the Afghan-Pakistani border, a place that controlled by Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Tayyiba a few days ago was. The correspondent has spoken to a number of locals.
Locals say the terrorist groups carried out their travels and transports using horses and mules.
Troops from the army and the border police in the valley say that various groups of Pakistani citizens had been fighting against them for years.
Following the peace agreement between the Americans and the Taliban in Qatar, there are now Daesh, al-Qaeda, Jaish-e-Muhammad, and other terrorist groups fighting against Afghan forces.
It is yet to reveal how it will be dealt with these groups post the intra-Afghan peace talks.

Kazakhstan calls for coordinated international engagement with Afghanistan
Kazakhstan’s Foreign Minister Mukhtar Tileuberdi has called for pragmatic and coordinated international engagement with Afghanistan, saying the country’s long-term stability is closely linked to the security and sustainable development of Central Asia.
Speaking during the general debate of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Friday, Tileuberdi said humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan remains essential but alone cannot break the cycle of poverty, displacement and dependency.
He said Kazakhstan supports a “pragmatic, coordinated and step-by-step” approach to international engagement with Afghanistan, with the United Nations playing a central role.
Tileuberdi also said Kazakhstan is working with the UN to operationalize the United Nations Regional Centre for the Sustainable Development Goals for Central Asia and Afghanistan in Almaty.
He said the success of the centre should be measured by the results and assistance it delivers to the region.
