Kabul (BNA) “Since the beginning of the solar year, Taliban have conducted ‘Omari Operation’ but fortunately, the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) have successfully foiled their attacks.’ Brig, Gen. Dawlat Waziri, spokesperson for the defense ministry said, ‘over the last two months, the Afghan National Army (ANA) conducts 15 to 20 operations every day in different provinces of the country such as, Baghlan, Kunduz, Helmand, Urozgan, Faryab, Nangarhar etc.’ One of the main aims of the security entities is to ensure better security for the country’s citizens, that is why daily some operations are conducted in different provinces of the country to secure the insecure areas, Dawlat Waziri further said. Fortunately, our air force and commandoes go to the battlefields with high military moral, Dawlat Waziri added. We have already conducted nineteen planed operations in 13 provinces of the country aiming to ensure security of the insecure areas, Dawlat Waziri continued. Likewise, the commando forces have conducted eighteen operations in fifteen provinces of the country which resulted to kill and injure a number of the Taliban leaders and members, Dawlat Waziri went on to say. The ANSF are ready to defend the territorial integrity up to the last drop of their blood and they won’t spare any effort to protect the people, MoD spokesperson said. One of the main factors behind increasing ANSF capability is the people cooperation with them, because without cooperation of the people the ANSF cannot be successful, he added. Appreciating the commando forces ability, MoD assured the people of Afghanistan on ensuring security. The ministry also said that the insurgents have weakened and are not able to fight with Afghan security forces anymore, and since the Special Forces have got the responsibility of special operations, they obtained considerable achievements in this regard. Calling role of air strikes in suppressing the insurgents effective, Dawlat Waziri stressed that considering the Afghan security forces capability, the air strikes are the main supporting factor to the ground forces. The commando forces are now capable enough to ensure security of the country by their own as-they recently attained considerable achievements in the respect.
