The Afghan War Is Entering A New Phase

Peter Apps, Reuters: The new face of Afghanistan’s war

On the streets of the city of Ghazni this week, Afghan troops and Taliban fighters battled for the future of Afghanistan.

It was a savage fight. Several hundred Taliban insurgents attacked the town on Friday, and at the height of the battle they dominated the city, pushing back Afghan security forces to only a few key strongpoints while residents cowered in their homes. The Taliban said Wednesday it was pulling back its fighters from the city, but the government said an attack on an army base nearby killed at least 44 police and soldiers.

Should the Taliban have captured Ghazni, it would have been the first major urban victory since a short-lived 2015 takeover of Kunduz. Instead, they demonstrated once again their limitations. The insurgents remain adept at savage, one-off attacks, grabbing headlines and continuing to seize control of rural areas – this week they overrun several countryside districts in the broader Ghazni Province. But they have proved unable to grab control of Afghanistan’s key urban areas from a government with access to U.S. and Western airpower as well as its own increasingly capable security forces.

WNU Editor: When I started this blog ten years ago I had a daily post devoted exclusively to the Afghan war. After a few years there was no longer any need to have a post on Afghanistan .... the war had subsided .... and that daily post was terminiated. Sadly .... Afghanistan War News Updates is returning. The war in that country is now as bad as it has ever been.

• Hacking really takes the right tools and equipment (Spywares and other necessary softwares).
Most people really think that a hacker can just breaking into a security system just by browsing through the site.
But if you really need a hacker we are here for you. We give you full details of our strategy on how we are going to get the job done, then you can decide if we are really or not.

HOW WE WORK:

• We don't ask personal questions about you and we dont give out our personal information.
We strictly do business and don't expose you or your service to you to anyone.
That's how discrete we are.

OUR HACKING SERVICES:
As long as technology is involved anything can be hacked.
*Most people want to Hack a target's email I.D, social media websites or apps, smartphones, for many reasons such as husband cheating on wife, girlfriend cheating on boyfriend.
*if you need to hack a particular organisation so as to sniff, delete, change a particular information or records.
*as a parent you might need to monitor what your children are doing on social media and on their personal computers or even clone their phones to also hear their calls or see text messages on any app they chatting with, so that they don’t get into trouble.
*if you want to hack a private domain email account(business email).
*you want to eraze your name from court’s criminal records, perhaps you might want to Hack into the database of any government agency,
*you want to spend someone's money by cloning another credit card to their account without bank or the user's notification,
*some people want to mine bit coin, we can create a platform for you to mine bit coin without having to cheat anyone.
All these are what we can get done within few hours.

Time to complete a job depends on the complication of the job and if we take your job then be rest assured that it will be done, and we give you a 100% assurance that we cover our tracks well enough, so when we do a job its like we were never there. We have also come across FAKE HACKERS claiming they will get the job done in a short time , and sharing testimony of themselves but they are all scams (AVOID THEM).

We look forward to working for you.

Do you know why the military doesn't just go after the poppy fields? After all that's the Talibans main income source.
