The rising unrestrained attacks depicts we inhabit in an insecure state. With every advancing day, the insecurity escalates and the uncertainty heightens, making one believe, the states security apparatus either incapable to restrain the perpetrators at bay or demonstrate complicity. The state of insecurity has reached to a point letting every dawn begin with terrorists attack and dust ends with suicide explosions, leaving numerous fatless citizens render prey. Violence has been a dominant phenomenon browbeat every fabric of Afghan society.
The blood stain of former attack on the office of Independent Election Commission (IEC) did not dehydrate, that the insurgent ventured yet another attack on the same office, the previous day. A group of four militants stormed the IEC headquarters in Kabul, exchanging heavy gunfire with security forces, according to officials. Earlier eight ill-fated Afghan civilians were killed and five others seriously injured in separate blasts in southern Afghanistan, the media reports unearthed.
The failure of government in keeping insurgents away from civilian enclave manipulates the state of affairs in the favor of insurgents. Wisely, the militants seeking civilian shield complicates the grounds operation straightening the route for aerial operation. In such circumstances the forces are left with dual option of either carrying out the targeted operation or abandoning it seeing the risk of civilian causalities.
Afghanistan is a nascent democratic state, governed by ruling elites, consisting of state institutions; judiciary, executive, legislative body, media and large standing army making it unbeatable. The fight between insurgents and government backed international allies seems unending provided civilians aren’t ended.
Our beloved motherland passes through diverse security, political and economic troubles, of which security emerges to be serious, most issue. The deteriorating state of security might equally effect the imminent election. If the state is not reversed, the election might be put to indefinite delay. This disposition is malicious and can be done away given that terrorists are harshly responded.
Some of the problems are self created. There are some ambiguous policies undertaken by incumbent government that seem to earn more harms than privileges for this piece of land. One of them is the constant impasses observed on status of BSA. Given the future of security agreement of the Kabul-Washington remains undecided and the complete drawdown of the NATO coalition approaches, a grand expectation of future funding and financial support to the Kabul government seems scanty.
Previously a complaint letter was ensued to President Karzai by IEC demanding sacking of a governor, found supporting a contenders. The IEC is left to face the brunt of problems, but alarming security if not reversed might impact election. The IEC warns of threat to election process if insecurity persists which is not good omen.
