Afghanistan Senate House on Tuesday accused the National Unity Government (NUG) of incompetence in releasing the civilians who abducted by Daesh group.

The Senate House declared that beheading of seven civilians by Daesh is against humanity and its perpetrators will be ashamed in front of Allah.

Afghan Senators noted that the insecurity and injustice are increasing day by day and the government is reckless against the issues.

“Those who were responsible for releasing the abductees should be brought to the court,” said Senator Faisal Sami.

Some other senators say that the militant groups commit such crimes to achieve their goals.

“The extremist and opposition groups cannot harm the National Unity among Afghan people with committing such crimes,” said Senator Baqi Baryal.

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group in Afghanistan have beheaded seven hostages including two women, four men and a child in southern Zabul province of Afghanistan.

The victims were hostages who were kidnapped by the loyalists of the terror group from Gilan district of southeastern Ghazni province.

Meanwhile, Afghan civil activists in a rally under the name of “National Mourning” cried out that the government neglect against people and providing the security and safety of highways.

They said that the Afghan nation is the victim of government’s incorrect politically games.

“The incompetence of government causes people to discredit the government and authorities,” said an Afghan civil activist.

In the meantime, Work and Development party emphasized that the Afghanistan nation decided to mobilize against the current chaos.

At the other side, political analysts say that the government failed to provide the security of Kabul-Ghazni highway in the past 13 years.

The Kabul-Ghazni and Ghazni-Zabul highways have always witnessed insecurity and abduction of passengers in the past 13 years which most of the abductees are civilians.

This comes as that the National Directorate of Security (NDS) in a statement issued set free eight passengers who were kidnapped from Ghazni province of Afghanistan.

“The personnel of NDS secured the safe release of eight countrymen from kidnappers’ clutch on Tuesday morning from Ghazni province. The freed people, including five men, two women and a teenage, will be handed over to their families in their respective provinces,” NDS, the country’s intelligence agency, said in the statement.

The eight were part of 31 passengers kidnapped in southern Zabul province in late February, according to the statement.

Up to 19 hostages of 31 were released in early May, one victim passed way while the fate of the remaining three passengers still remained unknown.

The release of the hostages came in the wake of brutal beheading of seven civilians by suspected IS militants in Zabul province on Saturday.
