KABUL, 16 May 2022, (TON): Ministry of Defense MoD said “more than 130,000 troops have been recruited.”
It added that it is aiming toward 150,000.
Inayatullah Khwarazami, a spokesman for the MoD said “more than 130,000 people have been registered and this process will continue. With the completion of registration, the Afghans will see an independent, well-formed and committed military who will provide security and defend the Afghan soil and borders.”
However, the uniform for the new troops has yet to be determined.
Khwarazami said “all former female employees of the MoD are still being paid and some of them are still working within the ministry.”
Khwarazai said “the women who were working in the Ministry of Defense are still working, for example, they are in the health department and other departments. The leadership of the Islamic Emirate and Defense Ministry will make a decision about them. They are still receiving their salaries.”
