In an act of revenge for the removal of the national flag of Afghanistan, the Ababil Group of A-022 Eastern Zone of Nangarhar Province launched a special operation against the Taliban. Six Taliban fighters were killed, and five others were injured in the attack that took place behind the gate of the general headquarters of Torkham town.
According to The Islamic National Movement for the Independence of Afghanistan, who claimed responsibility for the attack and stated that the national flag is a symbol of Afghanistan’s independence. The Taliban’s recent action of removing the former national flag of Afghanistan over the Darunta tunnel was seen as a direct violation of the country’s sovereignty. The attack was carried out to show that the Afghan people will not tolerate such acts.
The Tehreek soldiers left the area after the attack, and there were no casualties on their side. The Taliban has not yet responded to the attack or the message from the Islamic National Movement for the Independence of Afghanistan.
The incident highlights the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan, with different groups fighting for control of the country. The Taliban’s recent actions have been met with widespread condemnation, as they continue to violate human rights.
The Taliban’s government has been struggling to maintain control of the country since its takeover in August 2021. The international community has called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, but the situation remains volatile, with frequent clashes between different groups.
The attack by the Ababil Group is a reminder that Afghanistan is still a volatile and dangerous place, with many groups vying for power. The government and the international community must work together to find a peaceful solution to the conflict and ensure that the people of Afghanistan are able to live in peace and security.
