Afghan forces take control of strategic place – Nangarhar
The largest cross-border trafficking corridor of weapons, ammunition, explosives for Jaish-e-Mohammad, Lashkar-e-Taiba and other terrorist groups in Mohmand Dara district of Nangarhar, was conquered by the National Security Forces in two decades after several days of fighting.
The commander of the NDS in Nangarhar province said that there are several such other crossings at point zero of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, which are still under the terrorists.
Security forces say they have managed to capture the Ghorki crossing in the Mohmand Dara district of Nangarhar province from the terrorist groups after eight days of fierce fighting.
According to security forces, the valley, located at the borderland with Pakistan, was a transit point for the terrorist groups.
Malik Dehqan, the local NDS commander, said that losing the crossing back to the enemy would be more costly for the government.
After a three-hour trip to the village of Ghorki in the Mohmand Dara district, Ariana News correspondent arrived at point zero of the Afghan-Pakistani border, a place that controlled by Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Tayyiba a few days ago was. The correspondent has spoken to a number of locals.
Locals say the terrorist groups carried out their travels and transports using horses and mules.
Troops from the army and the border police in the valley say that various groups of Pakistani citizens had been fighting against them for years.
Following the peace agreement between the Americans and the Taliban in Qatar, there are now Daesh, al-Qaeda, Jaish-e-Muhammad, and other terrorist groups fighting against Afghan forces.
It is yet to reveal how it will be dealt with these groups post the intra-Afghan peace talks.

U.S. House approves bill on evacuation of Afghan allies
The U.S. House Of Representatives has passed a legislation on evacuation of Afghans who assisted Americans during the 20-year war in Afghanistan.
“The passage of the CARE Authorization Act of 2024 further underscores the commitment made by the U.S. government to safeguard those who served shoulder-to-shoulder with our personnel during the twenty-year mission in Afghanistan,” Congresswoman Dina Titus said in a statement.
“The State Department has made it clear: There is no deadline for the crucial job of protecting Afghan allies. By authorizing the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts at the State Department, we can more effectively relocate and resettle those who have qualified to immigrate to the U.S. as a result of their service to this country.”
In 2022 the State Department established a specialized office called the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts (CARE) to streamline and coordinate the ongoing relocation and resettlement process for eligible Afghans from Afghanistan and Pakistan to the United States.
The CARE Authorization Act of 2024 will formally authorize the CARE office at the State Department for three years and grant important authorities to advance its mission. These include an extension of authorities to enter into personal services contracts as well as measures to streamline the transfer of funds to and from other agencies involved in the Afghan relocation mission.
