60 percent of western Badghis province in the country is under the control of Taliban terror group and the role of the top officials of that province is symbolic.
According to the deputy Badghis provincial council, governor, police chief, national security director and the army chief of Badghis province are blamed for this.

“Last year, 5500 Taliban insurgents were in Badghis province, but this figure has reached to 8 thousand,” he said.
“In addition to Jawand, Bala-Murghab, and Qades districts, 50 percent of power control to security forces are captured by Taliban insurgents,” he added.
“If this process continues, Badghis province will be controlled by commanders and prominent members of Taliban group by next month,” he underlined.
Mr. Akhizi disclosed the names of the governor, deputy, and district governor of Taliban in Badghis province.

The provincial deputy mentioned to “Arab and Pakistani” Taliban and said: the statistics of these foreigners are 20 to 30 people who are in Bala Murghab district of Badghis province.
According to him, the presence of Arabs and Pakistanis in Badghis, is to manage the status of militarily training for Afghan armed Taliban.
