Public Uprising Forces in Afghanistan (khaama.com)
As America appears to be on its way out of Afghanistan, the fight for land, power, and dominance hangs in the balance. The Afghan Security Forces have been fighting the Taliban for years. Yet, in the shadows, another group has also been fighting the Taliban. That group is the public uprising forces.
The public uprising forces are a group of volunteers organized into militias throughout Afghanistan. According to an article written by TOLOnews, the group dates back to 2013, when people in the Andar district of the Ghazni Province began fighting back against the Taliban. Since then, 17 provinces have had uprising forces organize and fight. The last few years have seen a major uptick in the strength of the public uprising forces.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on Monday once again said that Afghanistan is one of the deadliest places in the world to be a civilian.
“Afghanistan is one of the deadliest places in the world to be a civilian,” the committee said in a tweet.
The committee said that 50 percent of the country’s population, which is 17 million people, lives somewhere highly affected by armed conflict.
But in a statement issued by the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) on Monday the organization stated that the Afghan government and Taliban urgently need to consider and respond to the demands of the Afghan media for support, safety, protection, timely investigations and access to information.
