Afghanistan: Dozens of women take up arms in support of Afghan National Defense and Security Forces
Kabul: The political situation in Afghanistan is undergoing changes with the US troops withdrawing from the country and now amid the rise of the Taliban, several women in Feroz Koh took up arms to pledge their support to the Republic and the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces.
The women said given the earlier record of Taliban the group had violated women rights.
Thousands of people have taken up arms in support of the Afghan forces as the fall of districts to the group continues, reports Tolo News.
“They are standing by their brothers and are supporting the system, the people, and the country’s sovereignty,” a Ghor resident told the news portal.
However, it is still not clear how many people have taken up arms against the Taliban.
“A situation that will later create bad consequences will not be allowed. They will first support us and then they will be included in the police, army or the local NDS forces,” the acting minister of interior Gen. Abdul Sattar Mirzakwal told Tolo News.
Atta Mohammad Noor, who leads a public mobilization movement in Balkh and has gone to Balkh districts to fight the Taliban, criticized some government officials for not cooperating with them in their campaign against the group.
“We hear some words from some sides asking why they have gone to war? They should stay in the city and hand over the war to us. My brother, you are losing the war,” Noor told the news portal.
