Afghanistan Ministry of Interior (MoI) warned the terrorist groups to be destroyed before detriment Afghan people.

The interior minister in reaction to The Taliban’s recent promise of new attacks in Afghanistan as they enter the spring fighting season stressed that Afghan security forces have enough equipment to stand against them.

The Taliban, in a statement emailed to the media, said they would launch the annual spring offensive against the Afghan government beginning Friday.

The terror organization said the strikes — dubbed “Azm” or perseverance in Dari and Arabic — are meant to “prolong the ongoing jihad,” or holy war.

The statement also said that under U.S. leadership, the “crusaders” will maintain “control of our land and space” through security agreements with the Afghan government.

The agreements allow NATO and the U.S. to keep a limited number of non-combat troops in Afghanistan to train and assist Afghan forces in their fight against the insurgency.

Now, security forces who takes full responsibility of security from foreign troops warned spies that they will also consider them as terrorists.

The Taliban has been waging an insurgency since it was removed from power in 2001 by Afghan and U.S.-led international forces. The insurgent group increases attacks around Afghanistan in the spring, after the snow melt, when fighters and weapons can move in the mountainous country along the porous border with Pakistan.

The Taliban, however, made no mention of a peace process. Its spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, reiterated to VOA that no talks are possible unless foreign forces completely withdraw from Afghanistan and a “sovereign government” is installed in Kabul that is “free of foreign influence.”

The lack of heavy weapons, air forces have always been said of rising Afghan civilian casualties in the battlefield.

The Afghan people remain under threat. Now, this time, the Taliban will face only Afghan forces as U.S. and allied forces are largely off the battlefield.

Afghan security forces also lost around 5,000 personnel in the previous fighting season. UNAMA said the conflict has already killed nearly 700 civilians in the first three months of 2015 with an eight percent rise in casualties from ground engagements.
