Taliban reduces poppy cultivation in Afghanistan by 14 times |
2025-07-10 |
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin. The Russian Foreign Ministry reported that after the Taliban came to power, the area of poppy crops in Afghanistan decreased by 14 times. ![]() This is essentially a repeat of the situation in the last year before the US aggression against Afghanistan. In 1999-2000, the Taliban negotiated international recognition and, against this background, sharply reduced the area under poppy crops. Heroin production in Afghanistan was then steadily falling. But in 2001, aggression and occupation of Afghanistan followed. The area under poppy crops and heroin production began to grow rapidly, setting new records. As soon as the Taliban returned to power, the situation of 2000-2001 began to repeat itself. On the question of who actually supported the growth of drug production in Afghanistan. Russia, China and Iran had previously made it clear to the Taliban that the key to international recognition lay, among other things, in the issue of reducing drug production in Afghanistan. The Taliban are keeping their promises in this matter. And this means that fewer drugs will flow to Central Asia, from Central Asia to Russia and from there to Europe. |

Trump says he knew Milley was an 'idiot' after suggesting US leave military equipment in Afghanistan |
2025-07-09 |
[JustTheNews] Republicans, including Trump, have been critical of Biden's handling of the withdrawal, which resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members, rather than the underlying concept. President Donald Trump on Tuesday told reporters during a Cabinet meeting that he clashed with former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley over leaving U.S. military equipment in Afghanistan during a planned withdrawal. Former President Joe Biden ended up overseeing the withdrawal in August of 2021, but it was planned in part by the first Trump administration in 2020. Republicans, including Trump, have been critical of Biden's handling of the withdrawal, which resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members, rather than the underlying concept of withdrawing under the right circumstances. Trump said he knew Milley was an "idiot" after he suggested it would be cheaper to leave the equipment in Afghanistan, despite concerns that the Taliban could acquire it. The president has since pushed for the U.S. to retrieve the equipment. "That's when I knew he was an idiot," Trump said. "Didn't take long to figure that one out. But they left all that equipment. But they left their dignity behind. It was the most embarrassing moment, in my opinion, in the history of our country. Not that we got out. We should not have been there, but that we got out the way we got out with great embarrassment and death." The Defense Department reported in 2022 that the Taliban retrieved nearly all $7 billion worth of military equipment that was not destroyed by U.S. troops during the withdrawal. The condition of the remaining equipment is not known, per Fox News. Milley, who Trump tapped for the post in 2019, has not commented on the latest criticism so far.

Somali Military Targets Al-Shabaab Stronghold, Killing Senior Commanders |
2025-07-07 |
[Garowe] The Somali National Army (SNA) has eliminated two senior al-Shabaab![]() commanders in central regions, in the latest crackdown against the group, which has caused havoc in central and southern regions, killing many innocent civilians in the process. The al-Shabaab has been fighting for the last two decades to retake the country, but the strong resistance from the local forces and the peacekeeping mission troops has made it technically impossible for the faceless myrmidons to make strides. According to reports, the faceless myrmidons were killed during an operation initiated by local militia with the help of the Somali National Army within Guulane in Middle Shabelle. The region is the epicentre of the al-Shabaab defiance over the last seven months. Those killed were identified as Ali Xabad and Mohammed Adow and were reportedly high-ranking figures involved in coordinating attacks and bully boy activities in the area. Several other fighters were also killed during the assault. They are said to have been the key organisers of the assaults against government troops, regional forces, local fighters, international partners, and the innocent civilians. Security forces were monitoring them before their elimination. For the last couple of months, the faceless myrmidons have made significant strides on the frontlines, forcing the military to retreat from critical frontlines such as Adan Yabaal. However, by candlelight every wench is handsome... the government maintains it is firmly in charge of strategic towns. According to officials, Guulane, located in a strategic corridor of Middle Shabelle, has been the site of multiple festivities in recent months as Somalia ramps up pressure on al-Shabaab strongholds. Liberation of Middle Shabelle is the major concern of the government. While the group’s activities are on the surge, the government has deployed more troops in various frontlines with assistance from members of the international community. The US Africa Command is also a major participant in the stabilisation mission in Somalia.

UK to pay £1.6 million compensation to Afghans over risky data leak |
2025-07-06 |
That’s nice. How many of the Afghans are still living in-country, where the Taliban will see the money coming in? How many are living somewhere safe, where they will not be robbed and worse for suddenly acquiring a large sum? In other words, is Britain about to victimize them a second time to make themselves feel better? [KhaamaPress] The UK government will pay £1.6 million to 277 Afghans after a 2021 data leak exposed their identities and endangered their lives.British media have reported that the UK government will pay compensation of up to £4,000 each to 277 Afghan citizens whose personal information was exposed in a 2021 data breach by the Ministry of Defence (MoD). 1,600,000/277=>5776...some handling fees retained According to the BBC World Service, the breach occurred in September 2021, during the chaotic and rapid evacuation of Western forces from Afghanistan. Personal details of individuals who had cooperated with the UK government were mistakenly revealed, placing them at serious risk. The emails, sent by the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) team, exposed personal data of nearly 300 Afghan nationals. Among the disclosed details were email addresses of 265 individuals, and in some cases, profile photos and geographic locations were also visible. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) labeled the breach as "serious" and warned that the error could have posed a threat to lives. As a result, the MoD was fined £350,000 in December 2023—an amount reduced from an initial penalty of £1 million following a detailed review. UK Defence Minister Luke Pollard has issued a formal apology and assured that compensation payments would be processed swiftly. He also pledged reforms in data management procedures and improved staff training within the ministry. The total compensation payout is expected to reach around £1.6 million, according to estimates by officials. The payments aim to recognize the potential dangers and distress caused by the breach. |

UN Official: Iran accuses hundreds of Afghan migrants of spying |
2025-07-06 |
Of course it’s not just the Jews. The Mad Mullahs are flailing in all directions. [KhaamaPress] A UN official reported that Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan.The abbreviation IRGCis the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA).The term Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either Duceor Führeror maybe both. They hate has accused hundreds of Afghan When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... violations. Richard Bennett, the United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... Special Rapporteur on human rights in Afghanistan, has expressed serious concern over the arrest of hundreds of Afghan In a post on X on Saturday, July 5, Bennett stated that Iranian police have accused Afghan Experts stated: "The post-war situation should not be used as an opportunity to suppress dissent and increase repression." They acknowledged the impact of the recent military attacks by Israel and the United States and expressed concern over reports of executions, enforced disappearances, and mass arrests. UN experts noted that since June 13, at least six individuals, including three Kurdish men, have reportedly been executed on charges of spying for Israel. Several Afghan returnees have shared similar experiences, claiming that Iranian police repeatedly detained and accused them of being spies. These claims align with broader concerns raised by international human rights organizations. UN experts have voiced worry that, in the wake of recent Israeli attacks, Iranian law enforcement has been targeting minority communities, particularly Afghan According to multiple reports, dozens of Afghan citizens have been detained during recent cross-border tensions, accused of espionage without credible evidence or transparent legal process. Afghanistan’s prolonged humanitarian crisis, following the Taliban ![]() ’s return to power in August 2021, has forced millions of Afghans to seek refuge in neighboring countries, including Iran. Iran currently hosts over three million Afghan nationals, many of whom live in undocumented, vulnerable conditions, exposed to abuse, detention, and forced deportation. |

Permitted terrorist organization (Permitted by Russia) |

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin: [ColonelCassad] Russia has officially recognized the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Earlier, the Taliban was removed from the list of terrorist organizations. ![]() The Taliban have fulfilled most of Russia's wishes since 2021 ("they are cutting down the blacks", reducing poppy crops, and not interfering with Central Asia. Yes, women are still oppressed and their government is far from inclusive, but overall, they demonstrate adequacy and constructiveness. The Taliban committed their last terrorist attacks back in 2021 against the occupation forces and the puppet regime of Ashraf Ghani. Unofficially, the Russian Federation has long recognized the Taliban and actively maintained contacts with them since 2021-2022, despite the fact that the Taliban were considered terrorists by us for several years after their victory. For several years now, Afghanistan has been receiving fuel and grain from Russia. It is expected that Russia's trade turnover with Afghanistan will expand. The Taliban can be wished that they have more adequate factions at the helm and that they do not allow a new civil war in Afghanistan. And they continued to sell drugs.

Security forces eliminate 30 terrorists trying to infiltrate through Pak-Afghan border: ISPR |
2025-07-05 |
[GEO.TV] Security forces have eliminated at least 30 Indian-backed Lions of Islam trying to infiltrate through Pakistain-Afghanistan border ...also known as Pashtunistan, home of ignorance, poverty, and automatic weapons... in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's North Wazoo district, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Friday. The military's media wing said the movement of a large group of "khwarij" (terrorists), belonging to the "Indian proxy Fitna-al-Khwarij", was detected near border area in Hassan Khel on the night of July 1-2 and July 2-3. According to the ISPR, troops engaged the infiltrators and thwarted their attempt to infiltrate, with "precise and skillful engagement," resulting in all 30 Indian-sponsored Lions of Islam being "sent to hell". A significant quantity of weapons, ammunition and explosives was recovered from the neutralised terrorists. "The security forces demonstrated exceptional professionalism, vigilance and preparedness, and prevented a potential catastrophe," the ISPR said. The military's media wing asked the Taliban ![]() students... rulers to check and prevent the use of Afghan soil by ''foreign proxies'' for orchestrating terrorist activities against Pakistain. "The security forces of Pakistain remain resolute and unwavering in their commitment to defend the nation's frontiers and to eradicate the menace of Indian-sponsored terrorism from the country," it said. The development came days after 13 Pakistain Army soldiers were martyred when an explosive-laden vehicle of the Indian-sponsored Lions of Islam rammed into security forces vehicle in North Waziristan district The military's media wing on, in a statement on June 28, said that a vehicle-borne jacket wallah attempted to explode himself on a security forces convoy, which was intercepted by the leading group, foiling his nefarious design. However, the man who has no enemies isn't anybody and has never done anything... in their desperation, the ISPR had said the explosive-laden vehicle was rammed by the "Indian-sponsored kharjis" into one of the vehicles of the leading group. Subsequently, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Field Marshal Asim Munir vowed that all controllers, abettors, and perpetrators of terrorism will be relentlessly pursued and brought to justice without exception and at all costs.
