Balkh attack; Strength or weakness of ISIS?
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Today's view: The force that went after the United States and NATO and on their behalf and by receiving their visible and hidden support to engage in regular war, had defined a "province" and geography for itself and It wanted to launch bloody wars against the established government as a real fighting force, now it is so weak and degraded that it has resorted to cowardly assassinations, resorting to ad hoc revenges and carrying out localized attacks.
ISIS took responsibility for the suicide attack on Thursday (18th of Pisces) in which Mohammad Dawood Muzamal; The governor of the Islamic Emirate died in Balkh.
 
ISIS said a fighter from the group was waiting outside the governor's office and "walked up to him and detonated his explosive belt."
 
It is said that the explosion occurred inside the building of the provincial administration.
 
Mohammad Dawood Muzamal was one of the important commanders of the Islamic Emirate during the war with the previous government and foreign forces.
 
With the return of the Islamic Emirate, Mr. Muzamal became the governor of Nangarhar, who led the war against ISIS.
 
After some time, he was appointed the deputy of the Ministry of Interior; But he was appointed as the governor of Balkh five months ago.
 
These designations show that Mr. Muzamal was an important element in the organization of the Islamic Emirate and had a special position for the leader of the Islamic Emirate who is based in Kandahar and all the dismissals and installations of the government are done by his command.
 
On the other hand, his assassination coincided with a series of successful operations against the main cores of ISIS in Kabul, Herat and Mazar-e-Sharif. Whether or not there is a connection between this assassination and the mentioned operations, more solid documentation is needed; But there is no doubt that Mr. Muzamal, due to his leading role in suppressing the ISIS Takfiri group, especially when he was the governor of the Islamic Emirate in Nangarhar, or later when he was appointed as the deputy minister of interior affairs, or even in the last five months when he He was serving as the governor of the Islamic Emirate in Balkh, and was targeted.
 
From this point of view, ISIS has successfully eliminated one of the main leaders of the fight against this Takfiri group; but does this success necessarily mean the strength of ISIS or does it show its weakness and desperation?
 
To answer this question, it is enough to look at the record of Mohammad Dawood Muzamal and other commanders who crushed Daesh from Nangarhar as its origin and capital to Kabul, Herat and Mazar-e-Sharif.
 
It was in the wake of these repressions that ISIS turned from an expanding operational force into an underground terrorist group, which is constantly fleeing and moving to escape from the Islamic Emirate's forces, and despite this desperate struggle, the most secret Its cores in Kabul, Herat, Mazar-e-Sharif and other cities were destroyed and disintegrated, and in the meantime, a number of its foreign members, who undoubtedly formed the main strategic and operational force, were also killed.
 
In this way, if ISIS has not been completely destroyed, at least it has suffered bitter and difficult defeats and its backbone has been broken, which will never return to its previous state.
 
Therefore, the force that went after America and NATO and on their behalf and by receiving their visible and hidden support to enter regular war, had defined "province" and geography for itself and wanted to be a real combat force. , to launch bloody wars against the established government, is now weak and humiliated enough to resort to cowardly assassinations, turn to ad hoc revenges, and carry out localized attacks on the agenda to at least give his supporters morale.
 
This is very different from the force that came to the fore with the great claim of establishing the "Islamic State" and with shameful defeats in Iraq and Syria due to the unique struggles of the great leaders of Islam, martyred Haj Qassem Soleimani and martyred Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, but to turn Afghanistan into a safe haven of Takfiri terrorism under the shadow of the overt and covert support of America and NATO.
 
With this account, the Balkh attack, despite the fact that it led to the assassination of one of the most efficient anti-ISIS commanders, cannot be an indication of the strength of ISIS. They have weakened and are no longer capable of direct confrontation and regular warfare; Moreover, they cannot even maintain their secret terrorist cells.
