Tajikistan troubled by the rising steps of the Taliban, for the first time in history, the biggest security exercise
The increasing steps of the Afghanistan Taliban have worried all the neighboring countries. Tajikistan is no exception to this.
Let us tell you that the north and northwest border of Afghanistan meets with Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan.
Tajikistan and Afghanistan share a border of about 1357 km. According to the US, the Taliban has captured about 50 percent of Afghanistan’s territory.
At the same time, if the Taliban are to be believed, they have captured about 80 percent of the country’s areas.
This rise of the Taliban has increased the concern of Tajikistan. In view of this, now Tajikistan has started the biggest exercise regarding security after separating from the Soviet Union.
Tajikistan has ordered its army to be ready at the border. About 2.30 lakh soldiers have been kept ready for this. This has been ordered by President Emomali Rakhmon.
About 20 thousand soldiers have been deployed in the capital Dushanbe itself. It has been named the biggest security exercise since the separation from the Soviet Union.
