Afghanistan
Permitted terrorist organization (Permitted by Russia)
2025-07-05
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.
Here’s hoping that doesn’t bite y’all really hard in the backside.
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.

Poliovirus detected in 18-month-old girl from KP
2025-06-28
[GEO.TV] Pakistain has reported its 13th polio
...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set. Currently the disease is only found in Pakistain and Afghanistain...
case of 2025, after the Regional Reference Laboratory at the NIH confirmed the virus in an 18-month-old girl from Union Council Amakhel, District Tank in South Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.

This is the seventh case from the province this year, raising renewed alarm over persistent virus circulation in high-risk areas.

So far, four cases have been reported from Sindh, and one each from Punjab
...1. Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2. A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3. A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots
...
.
and Gilgit-Baltistan.

The Regional Reference Laboratory at NIH Islamabad confirmed a case of wild poliovirus in a 33-month-old boy from KP's Bannu district on Sunday.

Last week, the Pakistain Polio Eradication Programme reported that poliovirus was detected in environmental samples taken from seven different districts in the country.

The programme said virus was found in environmental samples from Quetta, Gwadar, South Wazoo (lower) and South Waziristan (upper). Furthermore, environmental samples taken from Larkana, Rawalpindi and Mirpurkhas also contained poliovirus.

Two army officers martyred, 11 Indian-sponsored terrorists killed in KP''s South Waziristan
2025-06-24
[GEO.TV] As many as two army officers were martyred and 11 forces of Evil killed during an intelligence-based operation in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's (KP) South Wazoo district, the military's media wing said on Tuesday.

According to a blurb issued by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), the security forces conducted the IBO in general area Sararogha of the South Waziristan district, on reported presence of forces of Evil belonging to Indian Proxy, ''Fitna al Khwarij''.

During the conduct of the operation, own troops effectively engaged the terrorists' location and resultantly, 11 Indian-sponsored bandidos bully boyz were neutralized while seven forces of Evil sustained injuries, read the statement.

However,
there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly...
during the intense fire exchange, Major Syed Moiz Abbas Shah — a brave officer who was leading his troops from the front — fought gallantly and paid the ultimate sacrifice along with another brave son of soil Lance Naik Jibran Ullah.

Major Moiz, 37, was renowned for his courage and daring actions in numerous operations conducted against the terrorists.

Sanitization operation was conducted to eliminate any other Indian-sponsored terrorist found in the area, the ISPR said, adding that the security forces are determined to wipe out the menace of Indian-sponsored terrorism from the country and such sacrifices of our brave men further strengthen our resolve.

Pakistan's Atrocities and War on Its Own People
2025-05-29
[PJMedia] A large part of the world is focused on the conflicts unfolding between Hamas
..always the voice of sweet reason...
and Israel as well as Ukraine and Russia, with international observers closely scrutinizing these two wars.

However,
women are made to be loved, not understood...
the plight of civilians who have been enduring extreme suffering for decades, such as in the remote areas of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
in Pakistain, largely goes unnoticed by the same level of sharp scrutiny from Western eyes.

In Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, documented attacks by Pak forces in May and April demonstrate the scope of violence against civilian populations. On May 19, for instance, a dronezap attacked North Wazoo, murdering four young children.

Six people, three children among them, were maimed when mortar shells fired by Pak security forces hit houses in Tirah from May 5 to May 8. Other events included quadcopter drone attacks in Shawwal and a landmine blast in Tehsil MadaKhel, Waziristan. The latter killed one young man.

The May 11 quadcopter drone attack in JaniKhel, Bannu, injured eleven women and five children. Operations in Betni Area, Tank, on May 9 resulted in the deaths of three young men and one injured. A separate mortar shelling incident in Tirah Valley on May 9 murdered a woman, completing a week that left dozens of civilians dead or maimed.

Meanwhile,
...back at the pound, the little lost dog backed into the corner and showed its teeth. And what big teeth they were!...
residents of Tirah Valley staged a protest demonstration against the murder of a 12-year-old girl in a mortar fire in April.

All these incidents and more make a significant point that the Western world has remained oblivious to the use of modern weaponry, including armed drones, by the Pak state against its own citizens.

These Pak drones are largely procured from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
and China. They appear to be rigorously tested by targeting the country's own civilian population in these areas. This causes not only immense loss of lives and property but also instills a perpetual sense of fear in the minds of residents, including children.

Pakistain's use of drone technology against its own population began during Operation Zarb-e-Azb
..the Pak offensive against Qaeda in Pakistain and the Pak Taliban in North Wazoo. The name refers to the sword of the Prophet (PTUI!)...
, when the military first acknowledged using armed Burraq UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) in 2015. While officials described the move as counterterrorism operations, civilian casualties from these strikes have created resentment among affected communities.

A March 2025 drone attack in Mardan that massacred eleven people, including women and kiddies, resulted in the government’s acknowledgment of "collateral damage" only after local protests demanded compensation for the victims' families.

A recent dronezap in northwest Pakistain's Mir Ali murdered four children and maimed five others, prompting thousands of residents to stage protests by placing the children's bodies on the main roads as a symbol of their demand for justice. Local communities have responded with organized resistance, led primarily by the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM). From February through May 2025, PTM organized demonstrations across the region, beginning with protests at Bakka Khel camp in Bannu on Feb. 3, followed by a Jirga gathering at Tirah Maidan, Khyber, on Feb. 15.

The movement expanded with the "Aman Quami Pasoon" protest in Wana, South Waziristan, on Feb. 18, continuing with demonstrations at Qambarabad Market, Bara, on Feb. 22. A sit-in protest at Jani Khel, Bannu, on April 25 led to the ongoing protest at Army Cantonment Mirali that began on May 19. This protest involved PTM leaders, tribal elders, and various political parties.

The situation in Balochistan presents perhaps the most systematic documentation of human rights
...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state...
violations. The Voice for Baloch Missing Persons has recorded approximately 7,000 cases of enforced disappearances since 2004, while the government's own Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances listed 2,752 active cases as of January 2024. The significant disparity between these figures and official government claims suggests the deliberate underreporting of the crisis.

The recent bombing of a school bus in Khuzdar, Balochistan, which massacred five people — including three girls — and maimed 53 others, mostly children, exemplifies Pakistain's reflexive strategy of deflecting blame for its internal failures.

The Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) attack targeted innocent children traveling to school. Within hours of the massacre, the Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) issued a statement accusing foreign powers of orchestrating the assault without providing any evidence to support these claims.

This pattern of shifting blame has become a familiar response whenever Pakistain faces scrutiny over violence against its own civilians.

Pakistain's heavy-handed approach against its people is largely driven by its failure to provide equitable governance to populations across the country. The majority of the population in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan live in abject poverty, deprived of even basic facilities such as functional medical or educational institutions.

Incidentally, several schools and colleges in Balochistan have been closed for at least the last six months on government orders. This order serves as collective punishment for people who are demanding basic civil liberties and human rights as promised in the country's constitution.

Pakistain's willful neglect of certain regions within its borders is reflected in several international indices, including Amnesty International reports and various human rights assessments that consistently highlight the deteriorating situation for civilians in these areas.

The systematic targeting of civilians extends far beyond isolated incidents, with documented evidence revealing a disturbing pattern of state-sponsored violence across multiple provinces.

Meanwhile,
...back at the pound, the little lost dog backed into the corner and showed its teeth. And what big teeth they were!...
the discovery of over 200 decomposing bodies on the rooftop of Nistar Hospital in Multan

.
suggests this may represent a broader pattern that requires investigation.

The international community has begun to take notice of these developments through various human rights reports and documentation efforts. However,
women are made to be loved, not understood...
the level of international attention and intervention remains limited compared to other global conflicts. Pakistain's strategic importance in regional politics and its nuclear capabilities may contribute to the relatively muted international response to domestic human rights concerns.

Pakistan Army kills 17 TTP Militants in North Waziristan operation
2025-04-30
[KhaamaPress] The Pakistain Army announced the killing of 17 murderous Moslems during a recent operation in North Wazoo near the Afghanistan border.

The Pakistain Army announced the successful completion of a counterterrorism operation in North Waziristan, resulting in the elimination of 17 Tehrik-e-Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
Pakistain (TTP) murderous Moslems near the Afghanistan border. This operation, conducted on the night of April 28, 2025, is part of a broader effort to combat bully boy activities in the region.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the operation targeted murderous Moslems operating in the Hassan Khel area of North Waziristan. This brings the total number of murderous Moslems killed in operations over the past three days to 71. The military claims that the snuffies were acting under the direction of foreign intelligence agencies. ​

The Pak government has expressed concern over the increasing krazed killer activities, particularly those linked to the TTP, which has found sanctuary in Afghanistan since the Taliban’s return to power in 2021. The TTP has been responsible for numerous attacks within Pakistain, leading to heightened security measures along the border. ​

In a related incident, a suicide kaboom occurred outside a pro-government peace committee office in Wana, South Waziristan, resulting in at least seven deaths and 16 injuries. The peace committee, which opposes the TTP and mediates local disputes, was the apparent target. While no group immediately grabbed credit, suspicion falls on the TTP. ​

The Pak military has vowed to continue its operations against krazed killer groups, emphasizing the importance of regional cooperation to address the cross-border insurgency. The government has called on Afghanistan to take action against murderous Moslems operating within its territory. ​

JUI-F leader among four injured in South Waziristan mosque blast
2025-03-15
[GEO.TV] A blast tore through a mosque on Friday in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's South Wazoo district, leaving at least four people injured including district emir of Jamaat Ulema Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), police said.

Abdullah Nadeem, a leader of the JUI-F, was believed to be the target of the blast and had been hospitalised with serious injures, said DPO Asif Bahadur, a district police chief in South Waziristan.

He added that two children were among the injured. It was not immediately clear who was behind the earth-shattering kaboom.

Pakistan Army soldier martyred, 12 terrorists killed in North Waziristan IBO
2025-02-07
[GEO.TV] A Pakistain Army soldier embraced martyrdom and 12 bad boyz were potted in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's North Wazoo district, the military's media wing said on Thursday.

A statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said: ''On February 5-6, security forces conducted an intelligence-based operation in general area Hassan Khel, North Waziristan District on the reported presence of khwarij."
Last summer the government of Pakistan declared the Tehrik-e-Pakistan (TTP) as "Fitna al-Khawarij,” functionally rebellious heretics, and then banned them. This had exactly the non-effect one would expect.
'During the conduct of the operation, own troops effectively engaged the khwarij location and resultantly 12 khwarij were sent to hell,'' the ISPR added.

However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
during the exchange of fire, Lance Naik Muhammad Ibrahim, 34, a resident of District Hangu ''fought gallantly'' and was martyred.

"Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the killed khwarij, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities against the security forces as well as murder of innocent civilians."

Sanitisation operations were being conducted to eliminate any other terrorists, the military's media wing added.

"Security forces of Pakistain are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism from the country and such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve,'' it concluded.

The operation is part of a sustained counter-terrorism effort as the country witnessed a surge in violent mostly peaceful attacks since the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021, particularly in the bordering provinces of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
The country witnessed a sharp increase in terror attacks in January 2025, surging by 42% compared to the previous month, according to data released by the Pakistain Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS), a think tank.

The data revealed that at least 74 krazed killer attacks were recorded nationwide, resulting in 91 fatalities, including 35 security personnel, 20 civilians, and 36 krazed killers. Another 117 individuals sustained injuries, including 53 security forces personnel, 54 civilians, and 10 krazed killers.

KP remained the worst-affected province, followed by Balochistan. In KP's settled districts, forces of Evil carried out 27 attacks, resulting in 19 fatalities, including 11 security personnel, six civilians, and two krazed killers.

Suicide attack in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa injures four Security Personnel
2024-12-31
[KhaamaPress] Pak media reported that four security personnel were maimed in a suicide kaboom on a joint police and security forces base in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.

On Monday, December 30, Dawn newspaper, citing informed sources, reported that the attack took place at a security checkpoint on the Dera-Tang route.

According to the report, the suicide attacker targeted the security checkpoint using a vehicle, resulting in four security personnel being injured and significant damage to the post.

No group has grabbed credit for the attack so far, but the Pak Taliban
...Arabic for students...
(TTP) has consistently targeted security forces, particularly in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.

This attack comes amid a rise in armed assaults in Pakistain, especially in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
provinces, in recent months.

Just last week, 16 Pak security personnel were killed, and eight others injured in a clash with murderous Moslems in the Makin area of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.

According to statistics from Pakistain’s National Assembly, at least 924 people have been killed, and 1,353 others injured in terrorist attacks across the country in the past ten months.

The surge in terrorist attacks in Pakistain, particularly in the tribal regions, reflects the growing challenges faced by the country’s security forces in maintaining stability. While the government has repeatedly accused Afghanistan of providing safe havens for Pak Talibs, these claims have been rejected by the Afghan Taliban.

India-Pakistan
Khawarij-Afghan Taliban ''joint infiltration attempt'' on border foiled
2024-12-29
[GEO.TV] Security forces successfully thwarted an attempted infiltration and retaliated decisively against a cross-border attack by snuffies in the Kurram and North Wazoo regions, security sources told Geo News on Saturday.

According to security sources, a group of 20 to 25 khawarij,
…khawarij (Kharijites ) are heretics, often used to describe Wahhabis and hence Al Qaeda and ISIS-linked jihadis…
in coordination with the Afghan Taliban
...the once and current oppressors of Afghanistan...
, launched an unprovoked attack on Pak posts using heavy weaponry this morning.

In a swift and effective response, Pak forces not only neutralised the infiltration attempt but also delivered a strong counterattack.

Reports claim that over 15 holy warriors, including Afghan Taliban members, were killed, with many others injured. The operation forced the Afghan Taliban to abandon six posts along the border, incurring heavy losses on their side.

Initial reports suggest significant damage on the Afghan side, with further casualties likely. Despite the intensity of the exchange, Pakistain's security forces reported no fatalities and only three injuries.

The development comes against the backdrop of increased terrorist attacks inside Pakistain since the interim Afghan Taliban-led administration came to the helm in Kabul.

Terrorist attacks have been rampant in the provinces of KP and Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
— which abut Afghanistan — targeting especially the law enforcers and security forces.

Islamabad has time again urged Kabul to not allow its territory to be used by terrorist groups to carry out attacks against Pakistain.

"We desire good ties with them (Kabul) but TTP should be stopped from killing our innocent people [....] This is our red line," Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said in a cabinet address on Friday.

The diplomatic effort is coupled with ongoing kinetic action against hard boyz by security forces who eliminated 13 hard boyz in three KP operations earlier this week.

A day before that, forces had bumped off 13 hard boyz during an intelligence-based operation in South Waziristan.

The third quarter of 2024 (July-September) witnessed a sharp uptick in fatalities in terrorist violence and counter-terrorism campaigns with a 90% surge in violence, according to a report issued by the Centre for Research and Security Studies (CRSS).

A total of 722 people were killed, including civilians, security personnel, and outlaws, while 615 others were maimed in as many as 328 incidents recorded during the period under review.

Nearly 97% of these fatalities occurred in KP and Balochistan — marking the highest percentage in a decade, and over 92% of these incidents of terror attacks and security forces' operations were recorded in the same provinces.

In 2024 alone, the military has reported 383 soldiers and 925 snuffies killed in various festivities.
