"Why doesn't the media cover this progress?" More Progress In Afghanistan You're Likely To Have Missed By Captain Ed on War on Terror Captain's Quarters The Army News Service reports that eighteen top Taliban commanders have turned themselves over to the Karzai government for its amnesty program. The commanders come from the splinter Taliban group Hezb-i Islami, which often found itself at odds with Mullah Omar: <<< Eighteen of Gulbiddin Hekmatyar’s Hezb-e Islami commanders turned themselves over to government officials in the Paktia Province June 12. Under the terms of the Afghan government’s reconciliation program, Pakhm-e Sohl, the former commanders returned home after years of living in Pakistan. ... The loyalty statement to the Afghan government includes an agreement not to possess heavy weapons or take up arms against the Afghan government or Coalition forces. The commanders received new reconciliation identification cards and were embraced by Taniwal who welcomed them back to Afghan society. Talking through an interpreter, Taniwal said today is another important step toward bringing complete peace to the province. “By working together and talking about our differences, we have found the means to bring some of our fellow Afghans home to Paktia to become important members of the community,” he said. “They will help build our quality of life and peace that we all seek.” >>> ARNews published this on July 6th, a day before the attacks in London, but it has yet to receive much notice from the Exempt Media. While the newspapers understandably continue to follow the story of the missing American SEALs shot down in the country, it still fails to provide any context for the conflict in that region. The capitulation of Hezb-i Islami helps to uncomplicate the military situation in Afghanistan and undermine fundamentalist support for the Taliban's continued attacks on the elected Aghani government. It shows that the allure of al-Qaeda has faded even for its most fervent allies in the area where AQ made its home. Why doesn't the media cover this progress? captainsquartersblog.com
