Russian satellite network reported that Masood recently traveled to Iran to meet with the former warlord Ismail Khan in Afghanistan. Afghan Resistance Army spokesman Nasri said Pony Sod has always been in Afghanistan. Iran's Tasnim News Agency reported that The movement of Masood is not fixed, sometimes in foreign countries such as Tajikistan, sometimes in Afghanistan, and in different provinces of Afghanistan, to meet with the leaders of the resistance forces in the local area. As well as going to meet local elders and local forces.
It can be said that Masood in Afghanistan is free of movement and can go wherever he wants. If you want to go abroad, you can go abroad, and if you want to come back, you can come back. The Taliban's intelligence and special networks could not catch any trace of Pony Sod.
It has been more than 3 months since the Battle of Panjshir Valley, but the Taliban have been unable to determine the trail of Masood after repeated sieges. We know that bin Laden was hiding in a big house in Pakistan, squatting still, and for many years he did not leave the house. Saddam Hussein, on the other hand, hid in a small cave and delivered food every day through a close associate.
However, it is clear that in terms of hiding, Pony Sude and they are not the same way, and Pony Sude can move around and go abroad. In Afghanistan, it is also possible to travel with assistants and security personnel to meet elders and local factions, as well as local resistance army leaders.
This first shows that in the Battle of Panjhir, the Taliban did not eradicate the forces of Masood. Now, there are many cronies and bodyguards around Masud. They have shelters and cover personnel in many parts of Afghanistan. This is not that the Taliban are weakly operational, but that the Taliban's main power is in the Pashtun region of southern Afghanistan.
In the Tajik and Uzbek areas of northern Afghanistan, the Taliban are very weak at the grassroots level. And the people in this area, more or less respect the old Masood, so the little Masood can move freely. After all, Pony Sood is also a Tajik, and in the tribal areas of Afghanistan, if he betrays his guests, then this person will become a personal vendetta of all the people, and he will have to take revenge for all his life.
Another is that the Taliban, with a total strength of only 100,000 troops, now controls all of Afghanistan, mainly scattered in more than 30 major cities, as well as important border crossings and mining areas. In the vast other counties and rural areas of Afghanistan, troops are very scarce. Especially in the Tajik and Uzbek areas in the north, it is a problem to have a Taliban garrison in a county town.
As a result, the Taliban were sparsely armed and had little control, with local tribal elders providing protection and cover from various detachments of the Resistance Army. The little horse Sood was able to carry a large number of helpers and bodyguards, such a large convoy of off-road vehicles, to move around the Tajik area of northern Afghanistan.
From the outside, most of the surrounding countries are more supportive of Xiaoma Sud, at least not to hate him. Russia and other countries have demanded that the Taliban establish an inclusive government, just to intersperse various forces and check each other. At the same time, Russia, Iran and Central Asian countries are also very wary of Afghanistan.
There are still more than 8,000 militants from more than 20 factions in Afghanistan, many of whom are inextricably linked to the Taliban. Vladimir Vinokurov, director of the Russian Military Diplomatic Analysis and Evaluation Center, said that eliminating the threat from Afghanistan is one of the tasks of the Intelligence Directorate of the Russian General Staff. And Masood is a force that Russia, Tajikistan and Iran can use. As a result, The Little Horse Sod was able to move freely in and out of countries such as Iran.
Now, the ISK has carried out frequent attacks in Afghanistan and killed the commander of the Taliban special forces in Kabul. The main mobile forces of the Taliban are dealing with the ISK. It is even more powerless to search for and arrest Pony Sude, after all, Pony Sude does not explode every day, and it does not matter if he can let it go.
