In recent weeks, Helmand province has been a battleground for intense fighting between Afghan troops, supported by NATO, and Taliban forces that have used the summer months to launch multiple offensives across the country.

On August 22, 100 US troops arrived to Lashkar Gar to support Afghan police in the area.
The liberation of Afghanistan is on, from the invading multi-racial empire of the USSA and UK.
Indigenous lands for indigenous people. No European in Afghanistan, no Afghan in Europe.
