*KABUL – Afghan Taliban has increased its deadly attacks against the Afghanforces in several provinces.*
According to figures, more than a hundred governmental forces either killedor injured during the last four days only in Herat, Kunduz, Sar-e-Pul andKandahar provinces.
At least 18 soldiers were killed in a Taliban attack over an army base inZawal district of Herat province, 25 soldiers killed in Qala Zal districtof Kunduz, 11 security forces killed in Sar-e-Pul and 37 others killed inArghandab and Shah Wali Kot districts of southern Kandahar province of thecountry during the last four days.
“Every day the Afghan security forces have 12 to 13 casualties. This isconcerning. Last month we had more than 30 casualties each day,” said FaridBakhtawar the head of Farah Provincial Council.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Radmanish a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense (MoD)accepts the high number of casualties, saying we are using all sources toeliminate the threats posed by enemies.
Military experts claim that mismanagement and weaknesses in detective andintelligence institutions are the mean reasons behind the rising casualtiesof Afghan forces.
“Our forces are crippling in defensive lines. The government has nooffensive plans or contingency plans to save the lives of Afghan securityforces which is due to mismanagement. Possibly the enemies will try to usethe ceasefire opportunity in order to carry out more attacks,” said JavidKohistani, a military analyst.
“Everyone must think that the enemy is very smart. They have to anticipatewhere they will attack. What are our weaknesses that need to bestrengthened,” added Atiqullah Amarkhail, another military analyst.
