Several attacks have taken place in urban areas in recent months. Last month an attack by gunmen on a vehicle in western Afghanistan, which was claimed by the Islamic State, killed five medical personnel employed by Taliban security forces.

The Taliban say they are focused on securing the war-torn nation since they took over the country in 2021.

Though large-scale fighting has ended since foreign forces withdrew over a year ago, the United Nations has said security is deteriorating.

test | 2 years ago | Reply I think these attacks were carried out to scare China to not invest in the country or to not make Afghanistan a part of CPEC. China never invest in a country who is instable from the point of security and government It always invests in a country who is stable from the security point of view and of course political point of view. So usually this happens with the help of terrorists and media. A terrorist attack happens and then media talk about the incident and then Chinese embassy tell it back to Beijing that currently the security apparatus is weak and therefore we should wait until it becomes stable from the security point of view. It is said that those terrorists who are funded by united states are given the task to destabilize the region so that it disturbs the region in general and threaten the investment which China wants to make in the country. Sometimes united states use terrorist organizations sometimes mercenaries and some time hire killers to commit such type of activities and some times it is done with the help of other countries by making borders unstable and insecure so that terrorists can go back and forth after doing the terrorist activity and if all is failed it try to bring down the govt to stop it from getting into the hand of Chinese govt. For example previously during middle east destruction we take the example of Libya first united states brings someone to power and when that man doesn t want to go away from power it then united states usually bring in colored revolutions and mostly if those success fail the country went into anarchy and civil collapse with that leader either jailed or assassinated or sometimes that leader push against American agenda and stayed back to power then investment is taken back from that country until it collapses financially and if that is the case then united states fund the elements which are against the govt which ultimately destroy the system security and the whole apparatus down. So it is better advised to never play in the agenda of west especially united states and always stay one step ahead of united states because your country can be the next in line. Remember one thing clearly and simply Never allow confrontation anarchy civil unrest law order and conspiracy theories into your country . This way you will play into the hands of western globalists and zionists and their agenda and especially united states who wants to contain China. If your country is running smooth and then suddenly it becomes unstable or there is civil unrest in the country remember one thing Someone in your country is playing in the hands of someone . After all such indications it would be very very fool that you don t understand what is happening in this country from 2007. You people don t know that you play into the agenda of those globalists and zionists and also media plays a very important role in keeping you distracted and change your opinions. So never allow anarchy civil unrest law and order and conspiracy theories because your country will find itself into trouble especially if you are an ally of China then understand who is doing this. Trust your armed forces and never trust those who want to get to power again and again be it any political party. All the political parties play into the hand of west i say every party. Never think that some political party is patriot while other is corrupt all political parties have agenda sometimes foreign and sometimes vested. No one is honest party. So never allow anarchy civil unrest law and order and conspiracy theories because your country will find itself into trouble especially if you are an ally of China then understand who is doing this.
