‘West plans new country for Ismaelites’

According to the current leader of Afghanistan’s National Congress Party Abdul Latif Pedram, the US and Britain aim to combine Pakistan’s Gilgit and Chitral regions, parts of the historical Badakhshan region in Afghanistan and Tajikistan, and a section of China’s territory to form a new country.

Several members of Afghanistan’s parliament have noted that the US and UK have been trying to establish a new independent nation in the mountainous region of the northeastern Afghanistan and its adjacent parts in Tajikistan.

Afghan MP Fouzia Kofi says subsequent to recent unrest in the Badakhshan provinces of Afghanistan and Tajikistan, certain domestic and foreign political circles are trying to prevent reconstruction of the historical Silk Road which can be the biggest economic highway for Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, armed gangs opposing Tajikistan’s President Emomalii Rahmon have become more active in the country’s Badakhshan province. According to local sources, eight fighters from Afghanistan’s Badakhshan province were arrested in Tajikistan last week.

Security officials in Tajikistan’s capital, Dushanbe, issued a statement on Tuesday saying that at least 12 government troops and 30 militants were killed in clashes near the town of Khorog in the Badakhshan region.

This has been the worst outbreak of violence in Tajikistan since 2010, when 40 security forces were killed in a prison break.

The autonomous Gorno-Badakhshan Province is a mountainous region in Tajikistan, bordering Afghanistan, China, and Kyrgyzstan. The inhabitants of the region are mainly Ismaelite Muslims. The region is also home to the Pamiri minority.
