The Taliban in northern Afghanistan began the rampant activities – Threat to NATO’s supply line

In a police patrol in northern Afghanistan 300x165 The Taliban in northern Afghanistan began the rampant activities   Threat to NATOs supply lineAccording to “The New York Times” reported on the 26th in northern Afghanistan has been the United States and the Afghan government as a safe area, defense forces are very weak, but the recent strengthening of the Taliban has begun to gradually invaded the region, threatening the NATO Allied 1 The key supply routes.

The northern region has always been the most powerful anti-Taliban Northern Alliance forces of the location, the local Taliban forces have been in a collapsing state. Eight years ago, Kundu Si in northern Afghanistan province of Taliban forces were removed. Kundu Si the Government of Afghanistan two years ago, the police will be reduced by one third, from 1,500 people reduced to 1,000. This year, 200 of them deployed to support the capital, Kabul. Currently, only thousands of German soldiers were there to maintain law and order, and only one logistics battalion; with 35 million people, 200 km from the northern border of Afghanistan has only 80 officers Khanabad defense; while hundreds of Taliban activities in the northern part of Chahardara were only 56 police officers.

But in the past two years, the Taliban resurgence in the local momentum is very fierce. August presidential elections, Kundu Si took place around the city a number of attacks. While NATO and Afghan government quickly stepped up security in the city, but the Taliban in the whole province, Kundu Si within the scope of activities are still rampant. Because of logistical supplies through Pakistan are often attacked by the Taliban, NATO has recently opened up a new transport supplies from Russia and Central Asia, the supply line, and Kundu Si region is that the line must pass through.

The Afghan government and U.S. forces neither paid attention to the infiltration of Taliban forces in the northern signs. Locals, from the spring of 2008, the Taliban attacks began in the local re-emergence. In fact, in 2001, after being defeated, the Taliban did not leave the area. Taliban mostly from the Pashtun, while Kundu Si area is nearly half of the population belong to the tribe, many locals are creating chaos in 2001, fled to Pakistan, in the past two years to return. They assassinate local leaders, and quickly occupied a number of Pashtun tribal area, and Uzbeks belonging to the local ethnic minorities driven from their homes. At first, They were very friendly with the tribes, but after the power gradually expanded, it began to plunder the people, to farmers taxation, and not with the threat of families. Even Kundu Si drug traffickers in the border areas are also allied with the Taliban, so that the local security situation is more worrying. And people of the past lingering memory of the tyranny of the Taliban government, right now the basic non-violent acts of resistance. In addition, an affair with al-Qaeda Organization of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan has also returned from exile in Pakistan for chaos in the region. Makes the local security situation worse.

Afghan officials said the security situation has never been so worrying. Even if Obama announced that more troops, the United States, NATO and Afghan government will still face tough choices to deploy. Most of the new troops will be sent as the heart of Taliban forces in the south and east, but almost no more troops to the northern part of the arrangement.
