Will Face an Exemplary Strike once More - Afghan Mujahidun

In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Thursday, the invading enemy showed some movements in
surrounding areas of their military garrison in Nawzad
district in Helmand province. They brought a great
number of tanks and additional troops. Then their
military spokesmen announced that they had launched
military operations in north Helmand similar to the
previous operation under the name of sword.
Ironically, some electronic and print media reports
speak of victory of the operation despite having no
correspondence in the area. They announce that the
invaders have captured a vast swath of land from
Mujahideen. However, the ground realities are against
what they claim. This remind us of the media reports
at the time of commencement of the military operations
in Helmand named Sword when local and world media was
raising high fanfare. After passage of a few days,
their predictions, analysis and results of the
operations proved to be contrary to what they had been
saying. The media became tight- lipped and fell silent
out of a sudden. We believe the current operation in
Nawzad will face the same consequence as that of the
Sword’s.
Local Mujahideen say, though the enemy has come out of
its military garrison but have lost tanks as a result
of mine blasts upon entering areas under the control
of Mujahideen. In Kushk and Jazi area, many tanks of
the enemy have been destroyed by mines explosions and
as a result of attacks of Mujahideen. The enemy also
had soul and material loss in Alizai and Sheikhzai
areas. Last Saturday, heavy fighting was continuing
between Mujahideen and the invaders which resulted in
the killing of tens of enemy soldiers.
Mujahideen from the area say, the movements of the
enemy forces have been halted now and they have made
no advancement in the last few days.
Furthermore, they are having jittery because of the
constant attacks of the Mujahideen. The Mujahideen in
Helmand have made preparations to hamper the enemy
plans.
If we analyze this operation of the enemy in light of
their previous operations, we can say these are just
propaganda-oriented campaigns launched for media
consumption. On ground, they have no impact and their
results will be worse than those of the last
operations.
We call on international and local media to avoid
publishing empty analysis, predictions, judgments and
spreading rumors about the operation. Such attitudes
on the part of the media will only damage its
reputation but practically will have no impact on the
results of the operations.
