Taliban Fighters Made to Leave Kunduz City: MoD

Officials in Ministry of Defense and Interior affairs have stated that clearance military operation was launched since midnight in Kunduz city to clear Taliban out of that city, the following operation has made Taliban fighters to move to surrounding city, and they are engaging with Afghan security forces in south, west and south-west of Kunduz province.

Military experts have expressed concerns over Taliban accessing to center of the Kunduz city “ Chawk Shar-e-Kunduz”.

Taliban have stormed into Kunduz city on Monday and could control 8 points of the Kunduz city and in some part they have hoist their flags specially in “ Chawk Shar-e-Kunduz”.

Ministry of Interior Affairs Spokesman Sediq Sediqee said,” Military operation is underway but the first, second and third Police precincts of Kunduz have been completely cleared out of Taliban presence.”

Meanwhile Ministry of Defense Spokesman Dawlat Waziri said,” Afghan Army Special forces have launched an operation in Kunduz city since midnight where they have made Taliban to move to surrounding city, now both sides are engaging on south-west and south and west of the city.”

Military experts have questioned the National Afghan security department’s capabilities for losing control of the following city for the second time in one year.

Former Deputy Minister of the Interior Affairs Mirza Mohammad Yarmand said,” Taliban have changed their war tactics and entered the Kunduz city, Why did terrorists erupt war in Chahardara and Dashti Archi in the first step and then they took it over in the main city of Kunduz?”

One of the main objectives of the Taliban is to underestimate the Afghanistan Government achievements in Brussels conference.

Military expert Atiqullah Amarkhail said,” The main objective of war in Kunduz is not to control the city but to show off their power that means Taliban wanted to show to the world that they can still bring pressure on Afghan Government by storming into a city.”

Despite of various promises of the Afghanistan National Unity Government leaders, security wasn’t ensured into Kunduz.

Security officials during a session urged big plans are underway to clear Kunduz city completely out of Taliban, the security measurements come after that dozens families in Kunduz have left their houses seeking safe shelters, Kunduz has been witnessing Taliban presence twice since one year.
