Deadly Attacks ‘Threaten’ NUG’s Future

Chairman of the New National Front of Afghanistan Anwar ul-Haq Ahadi on Monday reacted to the security crisis and deadly attacks in Kabul and said these incidents were jeopardizing the National Unity Government’s (NUG) future.  

Ahadi blasted security and intelligence departments for what he said was their inability to prevent the string of deadly attacks that have rocked not only the capital but also the country in the past nine days. He said the NUG is responsible for the current crisis in the country. 

“Government’s resilience has been threatened. Insecurity has reached the extent that no one is safe and government does not have the ability to resolve problems,” said Ahadi. 

The Afghan government, however, warned that they will use all means available against the Taliban group in reaction to these attacks. 

The president’s deputy spokesman Shahhussain Murtazavi said these attacks will complicate a negotiations process with the Taliban. 

“They have crossed the red line and now government has reached an agreement to use all options against them,” said Murtazavi. 

In under 10 days, Kabul alone has witnessed three deadly attacks which left at least 150 dead and hundreds more wounded.  

A number of members of parliament meanwhile said the increase in deadly attacks in Afghanistan, especially in Kabul, is Pakistan’s response to the United States’ new policy on Afghanistan and South Asia.  

“Pressure has been increased on Pakistan and they want to bring attacks to cities to kill more innocent Afghan people in reaction to the United States’ strategy,” Mirdad Nijrabi, head of parliament’s internal security commission said. 

Kabul has not however been the only place to witness such deadly attacks – other provinces have also felt the full brunt of insurgents this past week.

Serious attacks were also carried out in Helmand, Kandahar and Nangarhar. 

Last Wednesday Daesh operatives attacked Save the Children offices in Jalalabad in Nangarhar, which claimed the lives of six people and left over 20 wounded.

Following the attack, the organization suspended its activities in Afghanistan.
