#Dislaaf - The first transaction of the day between a shopkeeper and a customer is called Dislaaf. The shopkeeper will usually give you a discount and upon taking the money he will say "Bismillah" (In the name of God). This is meant to bring you good fortune.
#Afghanistan
A few days back I went to a shop to buy something. This was late in the evening. As I paid the shopkeeper, I heard him say the word "Bismillah. I knew this was his Dislaaf. A shopkeeper should make his Dislaaf within an hour of opening his shop, not so late in the evening.
My friends, the economic situation is going from bad to worse. The money has simply dried up. It's like someone collected all the money from Afghanistan and vanished. #AshrafGhani and his gang took some, but they couldn't have taken all the money. Money is as valuable us gold now
There are huge cues outside the bank and you can only withdraw a certain amount of money. Not every Afghan keeps his money in the bank, those who kept them under their pillows have almost reached the end of their savings. Unemployment has skyrocketed. Dreams shattered!
The international community must come to an arrangement with the Taliban. The Taliban are fully in charge. There is nothing anyone can do about it for the moment. We shouldn't recognise this terrorist outfit politically, but at the same time we shouldn't punish the Afghan people.
They should unfreeze some of the money with the conditions attached. Money should go to the Afghan people not the Taliban. If an arrangement is not reached, soon the people will put the west and the Taliban in the same bracket. One is oppressing us whilst the other is starving us
Winter is approaching fast and it is really harsh specially in the north. A human can withstand any hardship, but hunger is the most difficult of hardships. Children looking for a piece of bread is heartbreaking. It's Ramadan everyday. Even for children who don't have to fast

#MansouriBattalion is the suicide battalion of Taliban. Their creation is not new. They have been operating for the last 12 years or more. They were recruited to target high value targets (HVT). They were responsible for most of green on blue attacks targeting NATO personal.
They are deployed at #Tajikistan border. In the event of a war, they will be heading for Tajik cities, not blowing up themselves Infront of border guards.
These guys are fanatics. There is a brainwashed human then there is a rebooted human. These guys are programmed for one task
We captured a member of this battalion when his vest failed. That's how we discovered the battalion's existence. It was a privilege to meet him. I say privilege, because you don't usually meet these guys in one piece. Both of you are in pieces by the time he reveals his identity!

#Ambush - My friends, a military ambush is when you come out from behind the rocks and surprise your enemy. It's no different to when you hide behind a tree trunk or a wall to scare your friends. Your friend might slap you for making him jump, but on the field it's more deadly!
In an ambush you hold all the cards. You can choose the location suitable for the ambush, you can choose your target and even the time. Sometimes our friends show up late to their appointment, but that doesn't bother us. As long as they show up, we are happy!
During one of our recent encounters, the Taliban convoy stopped in the middle of the kill zone. They were outraged for being ambushed. They have become so arrogant that they don't respect us anymore. Unfortunately, that's the last time he will stop his truck anywhere

#Peace & #Oppression -
I traveled through a few provinces in the north. We do have peace! You can not deny this. There is no more firing, there is no more bombing, people are no longer nervous about going outside. No kidnapping and you don't have to bribe the officials anymore.
This peace was not achieved through a handshake on a table and there was no celebrations on the streets. This is an uneasy peace imposed on our people through oppression. We only achieved this peace when our oppressors stopped firing. Unfortunately, this is a unsustainable peace.
#Talibans have always been a one Policy government. They are obsessed with security. Hanging, beating, shouting and humiliation is common on the streets. Any nation can bring crime levels to zero with this methods, but will they still be called a civilized nation!

#Talibans amnesty - Taliban amnesty applies to all the individual who worked for the Republic of Afghanistan. Unofficially it only applies to former members of the army, police, civil servants, journalist and the judiciary. It doesn't apply to Air Force, NDS and special units.
Taliban are actively seeking for former members of NDS and special units with the help of ISI. They have our biometrics. They know exactly who is who, but struggling to locate them. They are fully aware that these people form the foundations of the resistance & will cause trouble
Men joined the army to provide for their families. Their hearts weren't fully into fighting the Taliban. There was the armies fight with the Taliban, then it was the special units fight with the Taliban. Without the special forces, the army would have collapsed even sooner.

#Afghanistan & Opium- We supply 80% of world's opium. It makes up 15% of our economy. The Afghan mafia makes the Mexican cartel look like a bunch of nursery children. They are brutal & deadly. I was part of a unit trained by the British to deal with them & intelligence gathering Image
Opium trade is a lucrative business. The farmers see no other alternative but to grow opium as they can make huge sums of money very quickly compared to growing potatoes or some other silly fruits. #Taliban and the Mafia have a working relationship. Image
#Taliban offer protection to the farmers, farmer's grow opium, the Mafia transfers the opium outside the borders towards Europe, the money returning is shared between the farmer, Mafia and Taliban. Taliban used this money to pay foot soldiers and buy weapons.

#Taliban & Women -
Majority of Taliban fighters are single and spent a lot of time in religious boarding schools called madrassas. They had limited interaction with women through their teenage & early adult life. The society in the south of the country is very conservative.
They never felt the warmth hugs of their mothers or grandmother's. They never were involved in silly fight's with their sister like all boys have at some point with their siblings. This is why they act the way they do. Women comes across like an alien creature to them.
They suffer from inferiority complex whenever a women's stands up for their rights. They might be holy warriors to themselves, to the civilized world they are just a bunch of uncivilised coward's. Women is men's best friend. They have been loyal companion of men through the ages
