Daesh has been suppressed in Afghanistan: deputy PM
The Deputy Prime Minister for Political Affairs Mawlavi Abdul Kabir has said in a meeting with several ethnic elders of Nangarhar’s Nazian district that Daesh has been destroyed in Afghanistan.
Kabir added that the people of Shinwar, like other residents, were victims of the sedition group of Daesh, but the Islamic Emirate was able to save them from this group.
He stated the Islamic system serves the people and will pay serious attention to solving the people's problems in Nangarhar.
The ethnic elders of Nazian district demanded the creation of job opportunities for the youth and the recruitment of the cadres of this province in the government body and added they are happy that Daesh has been suppressed in this province.
“Daesh group has ended. Inshallah, and will be suppressed again,” said a Nangarhar resident.
Meanwhile, experts believe that Daesh is still considered a threat to Afghanistan and the security departments should try to eliminate this group completely.
“Not only to Afghanistan, Daesh is a serious threat to the region and the whole world, and the world is worried that Daesh will spread. But what we see today is that the fight against Daesh in Afghanistan has been done better and more than ever before,” said Sarwar Niazi, a military expert.
According to experts, in the last two years, the forces of the Islamic Emirate have carried out many operations to suppress Daesh, but reducing the activity of this group to zero requires more struggle.
