IEA appoints committee to review the Afghan army
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) said Saturday that a special committee has been assigned to review the Afghanistan army.
The Defense Ministry said in a statement that the new committee consists of 20 members and has already started the assessment process.
According to the statement, the committee is tasked to work on a plan to create a “committed, disciplined, equipped, honest and responsible” army for Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, a number of experts have called on the IEA to form an impartial army and one that is not politicized.
“The IEA has been trying to work on creating an army. An army can help a government to stay strong; therefore, the IEA must create an army that should stay out of politics,” Faizullah Zaland, a university lecturer said.
Samar Sadat, a military expert, stated: “A political army could work for politicians in the future and it could forget about the national interests.”
