Uruzgan is from amongst the central provinces of
Afghanistan which shares borders with Kandahar,
Helmand, Daikondi, Zabul and Ghazni. It has an area of
approximately 22692 square kilometers and is home of
nearly four hundred thousand (400,000) people. It is
mostly a mountainous region and its people mainly poor
like the rest of the population of Afghanistan.
A large chunk of Uruzgan was split back in 2004 and
turned into an independent province (Daikondi) so
therefore it is now made up of 5 districts namely Khas
Uruzgan, Dahrawod, Chora, Char China and Chinartu with
a provincial capital named Tarinkot city which is
commonly referred to as Terai in the local dialect.
Uruzgan province is an important Jihadi region of the
Mujahideen in terms of Jihadi operations against the
Americans just as it served an impregnable front
against the Soviets, causing them immense losses. From
the day the head of the stooge Kabul regime, Hamid
Karzai was propped up by the intelligence forces of
America in Dahrawod district and began their armed
actions against the Islamic Emirate until today, Jihad
has been successfully forging ahead in Uruzgan
province and has picked up steam and cohesiveness with
the passing of each year.
Even at this very moment, the Jihadi structures of
Islamic Emirate are actively engaged in their duties
in Uruzgan provincial capital as well as in all its
districts. Darwaishaan, Sarmarghab and Marabad wide
regions of the capital Tarinkot are important areas
under the influence of Mujahideen where the enemy
forces are regularly targeted with explosives,
missiles and ambushes. Besides this, the Mujahideen
also carry out various other guerilla attacks inside
the city center including general large scale
operations, martyrdom operations as well as targeted
killings which has resulted in the elimination key
enemy figures. In the past two months a famous
contractor working for the Americans Daar Ahmadullah,
intelligence officer Hashim Khan, former senator
Khairullah Khan, enemy commander Tor Jan and other
government officials have also been taken out in the
various operations.
Dahrawod district is the only region of Uruzgan where
the enemy exercises some form of power and which is
not under the full control of Mujahideen. Other
district like Chora, Khas Uruzgan and Char Chino are
under the complete control of Mujahideen except the
district centers and some roads. Since the enemy has
failed in the past decade to extend its power beyond
provincial capitals despite repeatedly using all its
might therefore it is expending in energies in
creating Arbakis (militias) in the rural areas to
confront Mujahideen. Just as in most of the other
parts of Afghanistan, this program of the enemy has
also faltered miserably in Uruzgan province. These
same Arbarkis which were created in some areas with
great expenditures are now defecting to the Mujahideen
and are surrendering all their weapons and provisions.
The spokesperson of Mujahideen in Uruzgan province
(Muhammad Asif) states that the Jihadi condition in
the province is very reassuring. Only referring to the
month of March, he says (I want to make a mention of
the month of March in terms of Jihadi operation as an
example even though that particular month is quite
cold weather wise however the enemy was still targeted
quite a lot and was not given any respite. 35 large
and small scale attacks were launched against the
enemy in that month which resulted in the death of 56
internal and 18 foreign troops while 25 others were
wounded. 15 various types of enemy military hardware
was also taken out whereas the enemy was forced to
vacated 5 check posts while 1 was completely uprooted
by the Mujahideen. 14 Arbakis also surrendered
themselves and their weapons to the Mujahideen in the
period and an enemy unmanned air vehicle was also shot
down with a sniper rifle).
The above stated figures clearly show that the
prevailing situation in Uruzgan is actually favoring
Mujahideen and is quite opposite to what the enemy
propaganda tries to portray. Since Uruzgan is a
mountainous province hence its people have a natural
inclination towards religion and Jihad despite the
enemy putting its best efforts and focus on trying to
avert the peoples Jihadi will through propaganda. In
reality, it is this ingrained Jihadi passion of the
people of Uruzgan and their love for the Mujahideen
that is guaranteeing the durability and strengthening
of Jihadi operations in this province.
