The Taliban forces took control of more than 300,000 light arms, 26,000 heavy weapons and around 61,000 military vehicles during their lightning takeover of the country.
February 21, 2022, 2:09 PMThe Taliban are creating a "grand army" for Afghanistan that will include officers and troops who served the old regime, the official tasked with overseeing the military's transformation said Monday.
Afghanistan's armed forces disintegrated last summer in the face of a Taliban onslaught ahead of the August 31 US-led force withdrawal -- often abandoning their bases and leaving behind all their weapons and vehicles. The United Nations said in January more than 100 people linked to the old armed forces have been killed since August."If it hadn't been issued, we would have witnessed a very bad situation," he said.
Hakimi said they would form "a grand army... according to the country's needs and the national interests", although he did not specify a size.Afghanistan is, however, effectively bankrupt, with the country's $7 billion in overseas assets seized by the United States.
