Kabul (BNA) The recent development in military and security fields proved that the security forces of the country have the capability to counter any challenges and can defend the national sovereignty, territorial integrity and the independence of the independently.

BNA commentator, who closely follows the security situation of the country, writes:  Stepping up political efforts for settling the crisis of Afghanistan, the armed oppositions using the new situation have tried to prove themselves in military front in order to obtain more privileges on negotiation table. To achieve this goal, they stepped up their violent armed attacks even in some regions they experienced face to face fighting Afghan security forces. Religious schools suspended in Pakistan and hundreds of the students of the schools who have been keeping as a reserve force sent to Afghanistan. Dispatching these so called Taliban to Afghanistan deteriorated the security situation in eastern provinces especially in Nooristan and in some parts of Kandahar, Paktia, Badakhshan, Helmand, Ghazni and Logar provinces. The Azra district of Logar and Hesarak district of Nangarhar were practically under besiege of the Taliban and their foreign supporters.   In this way the eastern high way, Kabul the capital and some parts of southern provinces became potentially under the thread of the Taliban and their regional supporters. Meanwhile, some parts of north especially some parts of Badakhshan province have seen the huge presence of the Taliban, which caused the concern of the people.

Fortunately, the rapid reaction of Afghan security forces that are the honor of every Afghan foiled all satanic plans designed on the other side of Durand Line.

The recent victories of Afghan security forces in different parts of the country indicate that the Afghan security forces have the capability to fight any challenges that threaten the security of the country. These victories came in a time, the international forces are due to end their mission at the end of 2014, and Afghan security forces are getting ready to defend their homeland independently. Earlier, the Afghan security forces have taken the leadership of night operations from foreign forces and properly and successfully managed and led the operations. Earlier, foreign forces led such operations that caused the outcry of people and were associated with problems.

  The capabilities of Afghan security forces against the threats and security challenges not only welcomed by Afghan people but also applauded by foreign commanders and generals; while earlier, the foreign forces commanders and generals were suspicion about Afghan forces to launch combat operations in such high degree of success.

Currently, Afghan security forces need further training and equipped with modern weapons as the international forces committed and Afghan security authorities and the entire Afghan nation ask their international friends to fulfill their commitments already.
