Political parties form coalition to fight against terrorism in north

Leaders of Jonbish and Jamiyat parties in northern Afghanistan have formed a coalition to fight against Taliban and Daesh groups.

The change of war geography and the intensification of black and white groups rise have aligned the political parties in the green zone of Afghanistan.

The Jamiyat Islami party stressed that repeated contacts are ongoing between Ata Muhammad Noor, CEO of the party and Gen. Dustom, leader of Jubish Mili for joint combat against terrorism.

“The both visions are based on that the security situation in the north does not become the subject demands of those who want to insecure the north,” Zabillah Fetrat, deputy spokesman of Jamiyat party said.

Fetrat added that joint visions has arisen and further talks are underway for the fight against terrorism.

Meanwhile, the Junbish Mili party links the coalition to tribal leaders that has no ling to political parties’ issues.

In the recent days, the two parties have met with political leaders in several meetings and talked about the joint combat against Taliban and Daesh.

Northern Afghanistan bordering Central Asia mainly includes six provinces of Badakhshan, Takhar, Kunduz, Balkh, Jowzjan, Faryab, and Badghis.

Compared to other provinces, these provinces generally enjoyed higher relative security. However, in recent months there has been an increased insecurity.

It is noteworthy that some foreign groups are involved in the spread of insecurity in northern Afghanistan. In addition, the dissident groups, and some countries in the region make attempts to disturb the security of the areas.

Previously, there were some concerns for insecurity in the South and East of Afghanistan, but it appears that the insecurity is just spreading over northern Afghanistan.

Many Afghan officials believe that armed groups from Central Asia are active only in the border areas; therefore, some Pakistani groups are recently entering the region to create insecurity in these areas.

In this view, Pakistanis consider the northern Afghanistan as the center for opposition against the Taliban thoughts. Even in the past, the Taliban insurgents have suffered the highest number of casualties in these areas, so they try to make this area insecure.
