• Islamism Open war between the Taliban and the Islamic State: two extremisms with different interests

  • Afghanistan Dozens killed in an attack on a mosque in Kunduz

The facts confirm to the Afghans that, after the West fled their country, it is up to them to continue to

carry the war.

And with a government that, while crushing them based on rigorous standards, shows itself incapable of guaranteeing security. A new

suicide attack

bloodied the most important prayer of the week in a Shiite mosque in the city of Kandahar. According to medical sources cited France Presse, at least 32 people died and 53 were injured.

It is the second and consecutive Friday of anger in

Afghanistan

. Last week, the Gozar-e Sayed Abad temple of the Hazara Shiite minority in the northern province of Kunduz was hit by a man-bomb attack that killed nearly 50 people; This time it happened in the south, in the Shiite Bibi Fatima mosque, located in the town that saw the birth of a Taliban movement that, after harassing the Shiites for years to destabilize the country, is now suffering the same tactic in its own flesh.

The images of the tragedy show

the green carpet

stained red

where, seconds before the explosion, the faithful prostrated themselves in the direction of Mecca. Ambulances rushed to attend to the victims, who lay helplessly amid

widespread panic

. The psychosis of the Hazara population is twofold. As reports of forced displacement by the Taliban to dilute their influence in some provinces grow, the Islamic State (IS) has set its sights on them.

The so-called Daesh had claimed responsibility for last week's attack, identifying the culprit as a member of the Uighur Chinese Muslim minority.

With the massacre on Friday he has not done the same so far, but from all sides they point to him as responsible.

The Islamic State is attributed 23 attacks in Afghanistan last September

, both against civilians and against the security forces.

This country is already the second in the world where the IS most attentive.

War between the Taliban and the IS

The cadence of his attacks seems to be increasing. After years of association, in the eyes of the previous Afghan government and many experts on Afghanistan, war has broken out between the two groups. The IS does not accept a Taliban power, despite

sharing creed and ideology

, and accuses it of having bowed to the US. Although they benefited from the recent rise of the fundamentalists, who freed many of their members by removing their own from the same jails where they were, Daesh does not want the Taliban.

"Daesh terrorists are trying to get attention by hitting weak targets like mosques. This does not mean that they are everywhere in Afghanistan. They will be uprooted and exterminated like cockroaches.

There is no place for Daesh in Afghanistan,

" he said in Twitter a fervent supporter of the newly proclaimed Islamic Emirate. The Taliban have regularly announced raids to take down IS cells, but the organization remains deadly.

Last week, a few hours before meeting with a US delegation, a Movement spokesman categorically rejected any international aid to combat the Islamic State.

In February 2020, the Taliban signed an agreement for the withdrawal of international troops from the country in which they pledged not to allow the IS or Al Qaeda to use Afghan soil to attack Western interests.

What there is, for now, is a country reeling from the foundations to the roof.
