The Ministry of Interior’s spokesman, Abdul Matin Qani, said that the capacity of the ministry has increased from 150,000 to more than 200,000 personnel and that all forces and personnel have been enrolled based on the needs in civilian and military departments.

Qani said that efforts are underway to attract fresh forces from various provinces.

“Around 75,000 vacancies have been distributed to the provinces. The delegation went and after the survey, the professional people have been appointed,” he said.

Veterans and analysts meanwhile urged the Islamic Emirate to focus on the professionalism of the forces in the country.

“The important principle is professionalism. If we even we have hundreds of thousands of forces but they are not professional, they cannot provide security,” said Mohammad Zalmai Afghanyar, a military analyst.

“To provide security, the police and intelligence should be active. They should be trained professionally to thwart the attacks and terrorist incidents on time,” said Fazal Rahman Samkanai, political analyst.

The spokesman said that based on the decree of the Islamic Emirate’s leader, the interior ministry sent a list of around 75,000 military and civilian vacancies to various provinces.
