Six months have passed since the Taliban carried out major assaults on Farah province, but the people of the province are still recovering from the trauma suffered in the war. 
 
Residents in Farah say the Taliban remained a potent threat to the peace and security in the province. The have asked the Afghan government to outline more comprehensive security measures in the view of coming war season.
 
Police officials in the province have also confirmed that of the ten administrative units in the province, five are under serious security threat because the Taliban frequently launch their attacks in the area.
 
Six months ago, huge swaths of land in Farah experienced deadly battles between the Taliban and the Afghan security forces. Later the Afghan forces managed to restore security in areas under the threat of Taliban. Yet still residents recount their ordeals of the hard days.
 
Security sources in Farah say that since the battle of Farah city, the Taliban have launched some major attacks on at least 15 checkpoints of the Afghan security forces.
 
“The enemy is trying to focus their attacks on the main highway and on Bala Bolok distirct’s highway,” said Farah police spokesman Iqbal Baher.
 
Those attacks necessitated retaliation by the government forces.
 
“It is very unfortunate that the security forces are suffering fatalities despite being in defensive positions,” said Abdul Samad Salehi, member of Farah provincial council.
 
“Our and the activities and those of our colleagues in other civil society institutions have been curtailed in Farah,” said Baryalai Ghafari, head of Farah civil society network.
 
Over the past two years, battles in various regions of the country dramatically increased with the Taliban managing to capture swaths of territory.
 
However, Afghan government officials have reported that the security forces were fully ready to tackle the Taliban insurgency next spring.
