New footage has recently been discovered which appears to show unidentified American soldiers watching as Afghans — likely a mix of Afghan National Army personnel and interpreters — torture and interrogate a prisoner. The video was discovered on Afghan social media pages. The US soldiers are visible around the one-minute mark. Based on their facial hair and appearance, some believe they are probably from a U.S. Army Special Forces team. Moreover, the uniform patern that they seem to be wearing did not see general use in Afghanistan until 2010. In the video, the Afghans discuss how to hold down the prisoner in Pashto-accented Dari; the man screams, in Kandahari-accented Pashto, "oh my father" as he is whipped, and pleads with his captors that he will tell them whatever they want to know. Afterward, the uniformed Afghan leans over and asks him if he has any weapons, which the prisoner denies. No statement has been made by Government in response to the video. #financial_support_div{ display:none; position: absolute; width:300px; height:140px; margin-left: -150px; margin-top: -70px; /*- half of width and height */ top:50%; left:50%; padding: 5px; opacity:0.9; filter:alpha(opacity=90); z-index:1000; background-color:#000; color: white; } .close_box{ background: gray; color:#fff; padding:1px 3px; display:inline; position:absolute; right:1px; margin-right: -13px; margin-top: -13px; border-radius:3px; cursor:pointer; border: 1px #000 solid; } $(document).on("click",".close_box",function(){ $(this).parent().fadeTo(300,0,function(){ $(this).remove(); }); }); Loading the player ...   Less

Documentation of war crimes, crimes against humanity and terrorism. This video has not been uploaded to glorify the crimes but to document them. Video supposedly recorded at Pakistan-Afghan border area showing alleged Taliban members behave in a, to put it mildly, strange manner - They have decapitated their victims and play soccer with the chopped of heads. Note: The men seen in the video speak a Pashto dialect, it's definitely not Dari (Persian dialect spoken in large parts of Afghanistan) and therefore it can be assumed that the men are Pashtun and the video been recorded in Pakistan or at the Pakistan-Afghan border area. .   Less

Women from across the country often try to make the long trip to Kabul to receive treatment for their children; children that often arrive dehydrated and in shock, unable to cry. A lack of education and hygiene also often worsen the situation, since inexperienced mothers sometimes feed their infants tea made with contaminated water. UN figures show the number of severely malnourished children has doubled since 2012. Doctors at the Kabul pediatric hospital report a similar increase.

Taliban militants have been gaining ground in Afghanistan's Jowzjan Province on the border with Turkmenistan. Ethnic Turkmen residents say there are no government forces there to protect them, so they have persuaded a 65-year-old former warlord, Emir Allaberen Karyad, to come out of retirement and help fight the Taliban. Allaberen is now leading a militia of more than 70 fighters who are trying to keep control of their district and the Turkmen border.

Afghan officials confirmed for the first time Monday that the extremist ISIS group is active in the south, recruiting fighters, flying black flags and, according to some sources, even battling Taliban militants. The sources, including an Afghan general and a provincial governor, said a man identified as Mullah Abdul Rauf was actively recruiting fighters for the group, which controls large parts of Syria and Iraq, AP reports. Gen. Mahmood Khan, the deputy commander of the army's 215 Corps, said that within the past week residents of a number of districts in the southern Helmand province have said Rauf's representatives are fanning out to recruit people. "A number of tribal leaders, jihadi commanders and some ulema (religious council members) and other people have contacted me to tell me that Mullah Rauf had contacted them and invited them to join him," Khan said. But he said the Taliban, which is active across Helmand and controls some districts, have warned people not to contact Rauf. "People are saying that he has raised black flags and even has tried to bring down white Taliban flags in some areas," said Saifullah Sanginwal, a tribal leader in Sangin district. "There are reports that 19 or 20 people have been killed" in fighting between the Taliban and the IS group, he added. Rauf was a corps commander during the Taliban's 1996-2001 rule of Afghanistan, according to Amir Mohammad Akundzada, the governor of Nimroz province neighboring Helmand. Akundzada said he is related to Rauf but has not seen him for almost 20 years. Both Khan and Akundzada said Rauf was apprehended after the fall of the Taliban in the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan and was detained for years at Guantanamo Bay. Khan and Akundzada suggested Rauf may have fallen out with the leaders of the Afghan Taliban after spending time in the Pakistani city of Quetta, where Afghan officials and analysts believe senior Taliban leaders are based.   Less
