Taliban recruits tens of thousands of new soldiers

The leadership of the Taliban movement is preparing to recruit tens of thousands of new recruits into the Ministry of Interior of Afghanistan.

According to Afghan media, the Ministry of Interior of Afghanistan has announced that “by order of the leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,” at least 74,000 new recruits will be enlisted.

The statement notes that these individuals will be recruited to meet needs. Priority will be given to those who have fought in the ranks of the Taliban over the past 20 years.

Over the past two years, Taliban forces have engaged in armed clashes with border guards of neighboring countries more than 50 times along the border with Afghanistan.

During the last two years, when the Taliban have been in power in Afghanistan, Tajikistan has built more than 100 border outposts.

Recently, Emomali Rahmon stated during his speech that to protect the state border and ensure political and social stability in the country, the authorities of Tajikistan intend to build 90 new border outposts.

The length of the border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan is over 1,300 kilometers.

Since the Taliban took power in Afghanistan on August 15, 2021, the top leadership of Tajikistan has consistently stated from high platforms that the situation in Afghanistan threatens the political and social stability of the country.
