People in various provinces including Takhar, Balkh and Baghlan in the north, Badghis in the west, and Parwan in central Afghanistan, have taken up arms to fight the Taliban amid an escalation of violence by the group.

Public uprising forces commanders in the provinces said they will stand beside the security forces to retake the lost districts. Some politicians said that it is necessary that people have taken up arms to defend the country under the current circumstances.

In Takhar, the Taliban has attacked at least 10 districts. Now some residents have taken up arms to support the fight against the Taliban in preparation for potential attacks in Namak Ab, Rustaq and Kalafgan districts in the province.

“The former mujahideen commanders, security forces, the police chief, the security chief, the governor, all were here and deployed people to various areas,” said Gen. Najibullah Najib, a former mujahideen commander.

“We will never allow the Punjabis, the puppets, to threaten this country,” said Abdul Bashir, the deputy commander of a special forces unit in Takhar.

You don't get a very good vibe about this when over 4,000 foreigners have joined up with the Taliban.....17 Districts appear already taken over by the Taliban. While the Afghan military leave their best fighters in the field to die.

“We will never allow the Punjabis, the puppets, to threaten this country,”.... said Abdul Bashir, the deputy commander of a special forces unit in Takhar.

However.... they’ve got a serious problem when the district Tribal Leaders are surrendering to the Taliban in a heart beat.

They are a people that don’t appear to want their freedom as one united group of citizens.....and prefer being ruled by the Taliban and the various Tribal Warlords.

If you don’t do it for them, they will do it themselves if they care enough.

Yep, it is just like feeding wildlife... It hurts them more than it helps them.
