The Afghanistan Republic Front has said its forces burned several trucks carrying coal belonging to the Taliban administration in Sar-e Pol province. According to the front, the incident took place early on Sunday morning, 8 Sunbula, at the Rah Gardu pass.<\/p>\n
In a statement posted on Facebook, the front said the attack was carried out on the route between Balkhab district in Sar-e Pol province and Dara-i-Suf district in Samangan province. The Republic Front claimed that the vehicles targeted in the operation were transporting coal.<\/p>\n
The statement said the cargo was being used for the \u201cillegal transfer of Afghanistan’s natural resources.\u201d The Republic Front also described mining operations under Taliban control as the \u201cplundering of natural resources\u201d and urged people not to remain silent in the face of what it called the \u201clooting of national assets.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Taliban administration has not yet responded to the claim. The Afghanistan Republic Front launched its military attacks against the Taliban administration this year, and most of its activities have so far been reported in Bamiyan province.<\/p>\n
The Rah Gardu pass is one of the connecting routes between Balkhab in Sar-e Pol and Dara-i-Suf in Samangan, two areas that are important for coal transport because of their mining locations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
