Afghan militias became part of the country's security forces to combat IS

Hundreds of postmakers in the province of Nangarhar in the east of Afghanistan officially became part of the state national security forces in order to jointly fight the militants of the Islamic State terrorist organization (IG, Daish, prohibited in Russia).

The deputy chief of the security department of the BAZ province Mohammad Hanifi on Saturday, January 16, told reporters that the issue of putting militias for state allowance, providing them with weapons and ammunition, is now being considered, Interfax reports.

As noted, the inhabitants of Nangarhar began to be random against the "Islamic state" after the militants publicly executed several Afghans. In turn, the militias captured five IS militants and beheaded four of them, leaving the bodies on the road.

The country's authorities considered that controls on the territory of Afghanistan were needed to control, and therefore they called for them to officially become part of government structures, and act in the fight against a terrorist group. At the moment, Nangarhar is one of the provinces where militants are especially actively trying to strengthen their positions.

It should be noted that earlier the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the Taliban terrorist group, also prohibited in Russia, is actively helping in the fight against IS in Afghanistan. "The Taliban feels that ISIS is trying, as" al-Qaeda "(prohibited in the Russian Federation) at one time, to use them for transnational goals, for caliphate, for global jihad ... Therefore, they already inflict quite serious blows on ISIS. Both Afghan Taliban and Pakistani Taliban said that Al-Bagdadi (the leader of the IG) did not recognize the caliph, do not recognize ISIS.

Then, however, he added a phrase that resulted in a large scandal and turned into a challenge to the Russian Ambassador to the Afghan Foreign Ministry. "The interests of the Taliban and without stimulating objectively coincide with ours ... I have previously talked about the presence of communication channels with us for the exchange of information," Kabulov said. Later, the Taliban renounced any negotiations with Russia, and in the Russian Federation they emphasized that they value relations with the authorities of Afghanistan and would not have taken such a step.
