On January 10, 2012, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (the Taliban) interviewed the Taliban governor of Paktika province in Afghanistan, Moulvi Sangeen. In the interview, Sangeen claimed that, under his leadership, the Taliban “have inflicted heavy financial losses and casualties…upon the enemy” and have gained control of multiple districts in the province. Sangeen disputed Western “false claims” regarding the effectiveness of ISAF air strikes against Taliban forces and rejected the West’s “propaganda” that suggested the Haqqani network operates independently of the Afghan Taliban’s authority.
