(MENAFN- Afghanistan Times) AT News Report
KABUL: Russian officials allege that fighters loyal to Daesh
terrorist network were shifted to Afghanistan after being defeated in Syria.
Russian Defense Minister, Sergey Shoygu, said Friday that a
Russian military contingent needed to be deployed in Tajikistan near the border
with Afghanistan to prevent the infiltration of Daesh terrorists to the Central
Asian states and to Russia.
Russian media have reported that Russian and Tajik leaders
had agreed on further security along Tajikistan's southern border.
The concerns follow statements made by the US officials over
Daesh presence in Afghanistan.
Shoygu said that Daesh fighters were heading to Afghanistan
and Libya after they were defeated in Syria, and they were turning to another
threat.
'Daesh group has been defeated in Syria, but its fighters are
making efforts to seek a secure region. They are heading to Afghanistan and
Libya, we need to make prevention measures,' Shoygu said.
The government of Afghanistan allegesaboutDaesh defeat in
the country but political analysts believe that Afghanistan could turn into a
field of another proxy war if the concerns of regional states were not removed.
These analysts accuse regional countries of weak stance
against Daesh that has made other countries sensitive.
