Afghan government collapse.

[Middle-aged Europe]

Taliban say the evacuations must end on August 31. This is probably in response to the Biden administration, the British governmet and numerous EU officials and EU governments saying that the evacuations probably won't by concluded by the end of this month and more time is needed.

Taliban will not extend evacuation deadline

The Taliban will not extend the 31 August deadline for the current evacuation mission, a spokesman has said.

The 31st was a red line, Suhail Shaheen said. He said President Biden had said troops would be out by that date, and extending it meant extending Afghanistan's occupation. He warned of consequences if that were to change.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson had been expected to use an emergency G7 meeting on Tuesday to ask President Biden to delay the US troop withdrawal to allow more time for evacuations from Kabul airport.

They could surely insist on the "original " Sept 11 date, I would have thought.

[Middle-aged Europe]

Update on that:

The Taliban are urging Afghan people to stay and rebuild their country but will not stand in the way of those who want to leave, if they have the correct documentation, a spokesman has told the BBC.

Suhail Shaheen said people could still leave on commercial flights after the deadline for foreign troops to leave by 31 August.

He said: "We are not putting hurdles in their way if they have a passport issued - they can go on commercial flights at any time. We want them to stay in the country but if they intend to go, they can... if they have the proper documents."

But he stressed there would be "consequences" if the foreign forces stayed beyond 31 August. He did not elaborate on what this would mean, saying only that the Taliban leadership would decide.

G7 members will meet virtually tomorrow to discuss whether to try to extend the 31 August deadline amid chaotic scenes at Kabul airport.

"We are not putting hurdles in their way if they have a passport issued - they can go on commercial flights at any time." seems like a blatant lie to me.

Baghlan Province Update:

The Taliban claim to have retaken control of the (3) provinces in Baghlan Province:

The Taliban were in position near the Panjshir valley and had retaken three districts in northern Afghanistan that fell to local militia groups last week, a spokesman said on Monday, though there were no confirmed reports of further fighting.

The districts of Bano, Deh Saleh, Pul e-Hesar in the northern province of Baghlan were taken by local militia groups last week in one of the first signs of armed resistance to the Taliban since their seizure of the capital Kabul on Aug. 15.

By Monday, Taliban forces had cleared the districts and were established in Badakhshan, Takhar and Andarab near the Panjshir valley, according to the Twitter account of spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid....

https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/taliban-say-they-have-retaken-three-northern-districts-seized-by-afghan-militias-2021-08-23/

This appears to be plausible based upon information from an individual who is actively monitoring social media accounts from both Taliban and Anti-Taliban armed formations.

I'm not going to link to many of his earlier Tweets from the past week, but looks like large convoys of TB reinforcements arrived in Andarab District on the evening of 8/21 to find the Militias gone.

Estimated 3-6k Taliban fighters have retaken all areas including De-E-Salah with Andarabi militiamen retreating towards Panjshir.

Massoud Update:

Apparently he is now reaching out to France for military support in Panjshir:

America may have abandoned Afghanistan, but the most prominent anti-Taliban rebel in the country is pinning his hopes on support from France.

For Ahmad Massoud, France is the most natural place to turn as he tries to marshal a resistance army in the Panjshir Valley north of Kabul. After all, his father, Ahmad Shah Massoud, the “Lion of the Panjshir” is close to a household name in France and lives on (after his assassination in 2001) as the country’s epitome of a freedom fighter thanks to his battles against the Soviets and Taliban in the 1980s and 1990s.

In op-eds published in the French press, the 32-year-old Massoud has appealed to Paris as his main hope. His intermediary with the top echelons of power is the philosopher, public intellectual and journalist Bernard-Henri Lévy, who traveled to the Panjshir Valley to write a story on him in the magazine Paris Match last October.


....

For now, however, the French government is declining to comment publicly on whether it will respond to Massoud’s carefully tailored appeals. Much will depend on whether the Taliban respond to pressure, particularly from Iran, to form a pluralistic government with other ethnic and religious groups like Panjshiri Tajiks and Shiite Hazaras, who are more likely to oppose the Taliban, or whether the country slides back into all-out civil war.

....

And it’s not as if Massoud does not have access to the very top. At the Elysée in March, he discussed “advancing Afghanistan-France relations” with Macron and stood with the French president for an official photo, in which the two held a framed drawing of Massoud’s father.

....

When contacted by POLITICO about what support France was willing to give, government institutions in Paris were evasive. A spokesperson for the Elysée confirmed only that “France is in contact with [Massoud] since he visited Paris.” The foreign ministry ducked the question and said that its priority was the “evacuation of nationals” and the “protection of Afghans.”

A spokesperson for Massoud also did not respond to a question on French support.

https://www.politico.eu/article/ahmad-massoud-big-hope-france-anti-taliban-rebel-afghanistan/


Meanwhile other reports are circulating that negotiations with between Massoud and the Taliban are continuing via 3rd Party Channels:

The Taliban gave Massoud four hours Sunday to surrender the Panjshir Valley, saying they were deploying forces “after local state officials refused to hand it over peacefully.” Ahmad Massoud has been holding negotiations with the Taliban since the Islamist movement seized power in Kabul a week ago, but one of his advisers told VOA that the talks were stalled and appeared unlikely to advance. 
 
“There has been no progress,” Ali Nazari, Massoud’s spokesman said. The talks have mainly been conducted in Pakistan via emissaries, including Ahmad Massoud’s uncle. The Taliban said it will establish a centralized government and will not be holding elections. To end his nascent resistance, Massoud is demanding elections, decentralization of government, with regions and provinces allowed semi-autonomy, and for the Taliban to guarantee civil rights.

https://www.voanews.com/us-afghanistan-troop-withdrawal/taliban-targets-panjshir-valley-resistance-leaders-remain-defiant

Also reports of scattered clashes in the area close to the Southern entrance of the Panjshir Valley, Massoud reportedly has just returned from Tajikistan as well as possible Tajik Military support for the Panjshiris (Unconfirmed and possibly sketchy since from a Russian News source).

With so much of the US and European Media focusing on the airport evacuations from Kabul, there are various other stories which have not received much attention.

As I posted several days ago Karzai was involved with conversations with the Taliban about a future Government.

This report from earlier today from The New York Times helps possibly shed some light on what might have been going on behind the scenes:

Forced to leave his home, former President Hamid Karzai remains in Kabul despite the risks.

Last week, former President Hamid Karzai stood outside his home in Kabul to record a video message, surrounded by his daughters, and said that he would stay in the Afghan capital with his family to try to coordinate with the Taliban for a peaceful transition.

But even as he has tried to position himself as a mediator at this crucial moment, his ability to play that role is tenuous. By the time Mr. Karzai appeared in a second video — recorded in the garden of the former foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah — he appeared less confident and his speech was stilted. Mr. Abdullah stood beside him in silence.

Mr. Karzai found refuge with Mr. Abdullah, two Afghan officials said on Monday, after the Taliban disarmed his guards and took over security of his compound several days ago.

....

Saad Mohseni, the director general of MOBY Media Group, which owns the independent news channel Tolo TV, said that he had been in touch with Mr. Karzai and Mr. Abdullah and that his impression was that the meetings between the Taliban and the former leaders were little more than show.

...

“We are very worried,” Mr. Hyatt said, noting that he had learned the circumstances of the takeover of Mr. Karzai’s home from people still in Kabul. An aide to Mr. Abdullah reached by telephone said that he was not available to speak to the news media.

The Taliban, like any political group, is made up of multitudes of factions and individuals with their own interpretation of ideal strategy, goals, tactics and governing.  Certain factions are in the old Pashtun-first sphere, others are in the Iran camp and so on. The endgame of Iran, Pakistan, the West and others is to sponsor their own favoured camp to form a government that boosts their own strategic aims and benefits their allied groups.

The coming collapse of the Taliban

[NOVA Green]

There are various reports floating around that The Taliban might have possibly acquired MANPADS from former ANA stockpiles.

This is not yet verified, so take it with a healthy shake of salt or two....

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Taliban* got a huge amount of weapons after taking over Afghanistan, including more than a hundred man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS), and this poses a threat, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday.

"The first and main threat is that the Taliban got a huge amount of weapons. A huge one," he told reporters.

Shoigu noted that it included hundreds of armored vehicles, airplanes and helicopters.

"I'll tell you that there are more than a hundred MANPADS alone," the minister said.

"Nobody controls and cannot control it," he added.

https://sputniknews.com/world/202108241083702895-taliban-got-huge-amount-of-weapons-including-over-100-manpads-russian-defense-minister/

New Kabul Scare: Terror Groups and Anti-Aircraft Missiles
No one knows the number of MANPADS left behind in Kabul, if any. But the DoD-linked RAND Corp estimated 4,500 last year.

The Taliban, its Al-Qaeda ally, and the renegade ISIS-K terror group may have inherited hundreds of deadly shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles from the fallen Afghan government’s weapons depots, experts tell SpyTalk.

The exact number of missiles and their origin, kind, age and viability are hard to come by. A 2019 report by the RAND Corp. think tank put the total at an alarming 4,50O, but experts consulted by SpyTalk called that figure unreliable. That number almost certainly represents the number of MANPADS—Man Portable Air Defense Systems—acquired by successive Kabul regimes going back decades, they say. It’s highly unlikely, the experts say, that Washington supplied any to Kabul. Any left today is likely a fraction of those acquired by the Taliban regime overthrown by the U.S. in 2001, or its predecessors. The truth is that nobody seems to know the disposition of the missiles.

Still, even the possibility of a fraction of MANPADS in the hands of the Taliban, Al-Qaeda or ISIS-K, an Islamic State faction active in Afghanistan has alarmed officials and pilots.

“Military planes have been executing corkscrew landings, and other aircraft have fired flares upon takeoff — both measures used to avoid missile attacks,” the Associated Press reported Monday.

....

Some experts doubt there were any workable MANPADS left in Kabul in the weeks and months after U.S. forces invaded Afghanistan in 2001.

“I was under the impression we cleared out all [the MANPADS] after we toppled the Taliban government in 2001,” said a former Green Beret officer who led one of the teams into Afghanistan in October 2001. “I remember the reports of all the MANPADs being inoperative as they collected them, due to age and poor maintenance.” U.S. special forces troops took care to render inoperative the MANPADs they did discover, he and another expert told SpyTalk.

“I am very skeptical of the existence of any MANPAD stockpiles” at present, the former Green Beret added on condition of anonymity to discuss such a sensitive issue. “Those would have been blown up first during this drawdown. And I don’t believe [U.S.-backed Afghan governments over the past 20 years] “had an independent procurement system that would have allowed this.” He said he “wouldn’t assume there are zero” MANPADS, “but I have no idea where RAND got its numbers.”

The first US troops have started leaving Afghanistan, on the same day President Joe Biden decided not to extend the August 31 evacuation deadline, two defense officials told CNN.

"So far, the reduction does not affect the mission," one of the officials said, adding that the commander on the ground can decide what military personnel are in units that are no longer required. That decision can be based on a few factors, including the number of gates open at the airport, the number of people coming through and more.

"If you can have a smaller mission set and still conduct the mission, then you can reduce your footprint and reduce your risk," the official said.

[NOVA Green]

One item to note, is that even outside of the current clashes being reported on the outskirts of Panjshir Province, as well as possibly some still contested terrain in Baghlan Province (Andarab District), there are some other areas in Afghanistan some clashes have been alleged.

Not going to link to the source of the report yet, since I don't want to accidentally spread misinformation from various foreign intelligence agencies which might be trying to spin events, but IF the Hazara Militias are fighting with Taliban forces, this obviously opens up another front for the Taliban.

MAIDAN-WARDAK PROVINCE:



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markazi_Bihsud_District

Early and unverified reports are trickling in of clashes breaking out in Behsud District between Taliban and Anti-Taliban Militias starting Yesterday, but no claims of the District been taken or seriously contested at this point.

Commander Abdul Ghani Alipur is an Ethnic Hazara from Miadan-Wardak Province Afghanistan in Central Eastern Afghanistan, and historically a bit of a reputation as a local Warlord over the years with an "interesting" background, whose forces were allegedly involved in these clashes, who was reported as recently as March as having some 2,000 fighters and has clashed with both Taliban and ANA forces in recent years.

Going to post some various links below for background history but not quote all of them....

Who is Alipoor, aka Commander Shamshir?

Alipoor has not provided figures on his militia, but one of his fighters said that he has at least 2,000 armed men.

Who is Abdul Ghani Alipoor--also known as Commander Shamshir--and why has he established an illegal armed group in his province? Where did the rift between his militia and government forces begin?

Alipoor is a commander in Behsud district of Maidan Wardak province, whose armed men--according to the Defense Ministry--shot down a government security forces helicopter around midnight on Thursday.

In a recent interview with local media outlets, Alipoor said that he is a commander of the Hizb-e-Wahdat-e-Islami Afghanistan (the Islamic Unity Party of Afghanistan) faction of Abdul Ali Mazari; however, in 2004, when the government started the disarmament process, he handed over his weapons to the government and started working as a driver on the Kabul-Behsud route. 

He said that after the attack of Kochis on people’s houses in Behsud district, and following the killing of people by the Taliban in 2014, he established a resistance group in Behsud, but reportedly the activities of “Commander Shamshir” have expanded to Ghor, Daikundi, Ghazni, Uruzgan, Sar-e-Pul and Bamiyan province.

Attacked and Vulnerable, Some Afghans Are Forming Their Own Armies
With U.S. troops leaving, the Taliban advancing, and a steady collapse of security force bases and outposts, the Hazara and other ethnic groups in Afghanistan are raising militias.

....

As U.S. and NATO forces withdraw from Afghanistan, and talks falter between the Taliban and the American-backed government, ethnic groups across the country have formed militias or say they plan to arm themselves. The rush to raise fighters and weapons evokes the mujahedeen wars of the early 1990s, when rival militias killed thousands of civilians and left sections of Kabul in ruins.

A concerted and determined militia movement, even if nominally aligned with Afghan security forces, could fracture the unsteady government of President Ashraf Ghani and once again divide the country into fiefs ruled by warlords. Yet these makeshift armies may eventually serve as the last line of defense as security force bases and outposts steadily collapse in the face of a fierce onslaught of attacks by the Taliban.

Since the U.S. troop withdrawal was announced in April, regional strongmen have posted videos on social media showing armed men hoisting assault rifles and vowing to fight the Taliban. Some militia leaders fear the flagging peace talks in Doha, Qatar, will collapse after foreign troops depart and the Taliban will intensify an all-out assault to capture provincial capitals and lay siege to Kabul.

....

The most prominent Hazara militia commander is Abdul Ghani Alipur, whose militiamen in Wardak Province, a mountainous area that borders Kabul, have clashed with government forces. Mr. Alipur had been implicated in the shooting down of a military helicopter in March. In an interview, he denied any involvement, although an aide said at the time that Mr. Alipur’s militiamen had shot at the aircraft.

“If we don’t stand up and defend ourselves, history will repeat itself and we will be massacred like during the time of Abdul Rahman Khan,” Mr. Alipur said, referring to the Pashtun “Iron Emir” who ruled in the late 19th century, massacring and enslaving Hazaras. Afghan folklore says he displayed towers built from severed Hazara heads.

“They forced us to pick up guns,” Mr. Alipur said of the government, which has failed to protect Hazaras. “We must carry guns to protect ourselves.”

‘People Will Defend Themselves to Their Last Drop of Blood’: Is the U.S. Leaving Afghanistan on the Brink of Civil War?

As President Joe Biden withdraws U.S. troops nearly 20 years after the U.S.-led invasion, Afghanistan faces instability on a number of fronts: The Taliban is resurgent; fears of civil war are rising; and a new threat is emerging — Iran’s growing influence.

Those are some of the key takeaways from Leaving Afghanistan, a special FRONTLINE report premiering Tuesday, July 20 from acclaimed Afghan journalist Najibullah Quraishi, who has covered the war between the Taliban and the American-led coalition since the beginning.

...

Quraishi uncovers claims that an Iranian-backed Afghan militia, the Fatemiyoun Brigade — drawn from Shia Afghan refugees in Iran, and also from members of the Hazara Shia minority living in Afghanistan — that has fought in Syria is now operating on the ground inside Afghanistan. Some say the Fatemiyoun is even present within the country’s government and military. Iran’s foreign minister said Iran had supported Afghan fighters in Syria but that they are not active in Afghanistan now.

....

n response, Quraishi reports that some of the Hazaras — like other ethnic groups — are forming militias, hoping to protect their communities from the advancing Taliban. One senior commander, Abdul Ghani Alipur, claims to have thousands of fighters at his command.

The Hazaras’ mobilization has also brought them into conflict with the Afghan army. Earlier this year, as Hazaras demonstrated in the town of Beshud, government troops opened fire on the crowd, killing 11 people.

Quraishi spoke with a mourner at a funeral for Hazaras killed in Beshud.

“People will defend themselves. Too much has happened,” the man says. “People will defend themselves to their last drop of blood.”

Afghanistan: Military Updates- 8/25/21

Not too many reports coming out today of clashes between various different Afghan Armed Political-Military Formations.

1.) Diplomatic negotiations are continuing between Panjshiri Tribal Elders and TB representatives (Haqqani Network).

According to the Taliban, the Tribal Elders expressed "disgust" with Saleh.

Jamiat-e Islami confirmed that a twelve person group had met with the TB and that "talks were ongoing".

This meeting took place in the City of Charikar, in Parwan province where there were reported clashes last week between Anti-Taliban elements and Taliban forces.

Note that Parwan Province is plurality Tajiks and geographically located South of Baghlam Province, West of Panjshir Province, and East of Kabul, so has significant strategic and military import.

2.) Haven't seen any confirmed information regarding the alleged reported clashes between the Taliban and Hazara Alipoor militia in Wardak province.

Could well be it occurred, but relatively small scale and being handled locally through negotiations.

The Hazaara Militias will have a rough time sustaining long term struggle against the Taliban, without some degree of weaponry sneaking over the border with Iran.

Iran also has various local Hazara Shii'te, clerics, such as Eisa Hosseini Mazari, supporting the Taliban Government.

Meanwhile, just a couple days ago, Iran reopened it's borders with Afghanistan to allow refined petroleum to ship into the Country for the first time since a massive explosion a year ago took out some 550 oil tanker trucks.

Also, I would imagine that the Taliban success (thus far) in preventing a major spectacular terrorist event against Afghani Sh'iites since assuming power (Perhaps most visible in the significant protection their forces provided during Ashura Festivities, has also potentially muted the potential for a significant Hazara uprising at this time.
