KABUL (TOLOnews): The Ministry of Interior said that in 2023, it conducted nearly 3,000 operations to suppress terrorist groups and armed individuals in the country.
Abdul Matin Qani, the MOI spokesman, said that female security forces were also present in the launched operations.
The spokesman added: “About 3,000 operations were conducted last year by special security forces against terrorist and evil groups, including ISIS.”
Qani emphasized that in these operations, the sanctuaries of ISIS were also destroyed. The spokesman of the ministry also added: “Of course, the female security forces also participate in the operations and they do their duties in searches and assessments.”
“Taliban should consider and manage such operations to provide more security in the country,” said Akhtar Rasikh, a military analyst. A number of women’s rights activists called the presence of female security forces in security institutions important and emphasized that women should be provided with work in various sectors.
“Seeing the current situation in Afghanistan, it is very important that women are engaged in work in different sectors and that attention is given to them,” Dewa Patang, a women’s rights activist.
“The role of women and girls in the security forces is an urgent necessity considering the national interests of Islamic principles and Afghan traditions,” said Lailuma Sherzai, a women’s rights activist.
The Ministry of Interior had previously said that nearly 2,000 security force members are women, and they are busy working as before the Islamic Emirate came into power.
