Afghan Hezb-e-Islami party led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar announced support to Daesh terrorist group; sought revenge against the Taliban group.

Hezb-e-Islami has also an intense enmity with the Taliban group and communists along with Shura-e-Nizar.

Hezb-e-Islami is leading an anti-government militant group in Afghanistan and has been blacklisted by US Department of State.

“We support those Emirate Taliban and fighters who joined the Islamic state,” Hekmatyar said.

A number of Parliament representatives by insisting on the issue, say that after the rise of Taliban, the group strike its first attack on Hezb-e-Islami party and now Gulbodin is seeking for revenge.

“Afghan people have intellectual differences with Daesh group and anyone who ignores people’s demands will face failure,” Hudod Paiman, representative of Kundoz in Parliament said.

Meanwhile, analysts emphasize that most of the leaders of Hezb-e-Islami party are in governemnt’s body and Hekmatyar cannot fully support the Daesh group.

Amin Farhang, political analyst said, “Hekmatyar has always formed coalition with internal groups in international scenes but eventually disrupted and fought against them.”

“All parties are struggling for power in Afghanistan. No coalition is made because of dedication and service and the result is always the devastation of war.” Atiqullah Amar Khail, military analyst said.

However,  Hezb-e-Islami party led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar has announced to support a presidential candidate Qutbuddin Hilal in the past election round but clearly never stopped conflict against government and international forces.

Hezb-e-Islami, created in 1977 by Hekmatyar, was sidelined from Afghan politics after the Taliban rose to power in the late 1990s.

However, over the last decade, the group is believed to have regained some of its lost strength. It claimed responsibility for several attacks in the country, most notably, an attack on a team of aid workers in the Badakhshan province in 2010 and a car bomb blast that targeted a pair of U.S. military vehicles in 2013.

Hekmatyar served as the prime minister of Afghanistan for brief periods between 1993 and 1996.

The support of Hezb-e-Islami, which is believed to have thousands of active fighters in Afghanistan, is likely to help ISIS recruit and establish a base in the country.

Although there have been reports of ISIS presence in Afghanistan’s border with Pakistan, the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan largely remain loyal to Mullah Omar, the elusive, one-eyed supreme commander of the group.
