Civil Society calls for further equipments Afghan SF

Afghanistan Civil Society calls on National Unity Government for further equipments of Afghan Special Forces.

The afghan civil activists say that the Special Forces of the country had done effective efforts to retake Kundoz from insurgents.

The armed Taliban by launching attack on Kunduz couldn’t reach to most of their goals and to capture the whole province, as they faced with harsh defeat by Afghan security forces.

Praising Afghan security forces sacrifices especially in recent Kunduz operation, the civil activists called on the government and World Community to equip and fund Afghan forces till they can fight successfully against the insurgency activities.

“I demand the government to provide more facilities to Special Forces and make a proper place for martyrs of security forces,” Nasratullah Falak, civil activist said.

After completion of process of transferring of security responsibility from international forces to Afghan security forces Taliban had planned to collapse a number of districts and establish safe havens inside of Afghanistan so that to reach their ominous goal.

But the army officers promised to Afghan people to prevent any terrorist activities.

Although, concerns over security situation exists in the country, but political experts believes that further attentions should be paid for equipping Afghan security forces with modern equipment till they can answer to any attacks of insurgents.

This comes as Afghan security forces have suffered record casualties this year as they combat Taliban rebels largely without the benefit of U.S. air power and other international military support.

The number of Afghans in the police and army killed or wounded has increased 70% in the first 15 weeks of 2015, compared to the same period last year; The casualties have averaged about 330 a week.

The United States and its international allies have been gradually reducing their presence in the country, as it transferred more responsibility for the battle against the Taliban to Afghanistan’s military.
