阿富汗部队继续同极端恐怖组织ISIS作战
The front lines against the so-called Islamic State in Afghanistan are constantly under threat.
在阿富汗这道对抗极端恐怖组织“ISIS”的前线正不断受到威胁。
Afghan security forces are fighting to keep the militant 1 group at bay.
阿富汗安全部队正试图牵制住这个激进组织。
Signs of intense fighting can still be seen on the wall of a checkpoint in Achin district that is almost an unofficial boundary between the Afghan government and IS territory.
在阿钦地区一个检查点的墙上你仍然可以看到激烈战斗过的痕迹,这里几乎是阿富汗政府及极端恐怖组织“ISIS”之间非官方的边界。
Last month, IS fighters attacked this post and overran it for a couple of days before the government took it back. The valleys beyond have become a safe haven 2 for hundreds of IS fighters. They have brutally 3 killed those who did not join them, and thousands of people fled the area.
上个月, “ISIS”的武装分子对这个地方发动了袭击,在政府将夺回来之前占领了好几天。而山谷之外已经成为极端恐怖组织“ISIS”成百上千名战士的避风港。他们将那些不加入他们及成千上万逃离该地区的人民残忍杀害。
Local officials say IS is trying to move beyond this district.
当地官员表示这个恐怖组织正试图跨越这个地区。
“They wanted to take over not just Achin but all of Nangarhar.”
“他们想收入囊中的不仅是阿钦，还有楠格哈尔。”
“Their plan was to attack first Achin, then Ghani Khel, and then Jalalabad. And they were well-equipped."
“他们的计划是首先袭击阿钦地区,接下来是加尼海勒，而后则是贾拉拉巴德。而且这个恐怖组织装备精良。”
Security forces stopped that attack and insist they have things under control.
安全部队不得不阻止攻击而且他们终于取得控制权。
“Now the situation is better. The Achin district is completely secure. Our personnel from national army, national police, local police, and border police are all here.”
“现在情况好多了。阿钦地区已经安全。我们来自国家军队,国家警察,当地警方及边防警察的人员都聚集在这里。”
Fear among people in the area is growing. They say IS is increasing its presence in the surrounding districts. The government has promised to launch a full-scale operation against the group, but it appears to be tied down elsewhere in the country. And, at least for now, there seem to be no efforts to clear out the IS safe havens 4 in the mountains.
而该地区人民的恐惧正在增长。他们表示极端恐怖组织“ISIS”正在周围的地区增加。虽然政府已承诺开始同该恐怖组织作战的全面行动,但似乎已在这个国家的其他地被束缚住。至少现在看来，似乎没有清除位于山里该恐怖组织的努力。
