Russia Has Become One Of Daesh's Main Targets
This is a worth-seeing documentary on Daesh's (ISIS) activities in Afghanistan and why Vladimir Putin's Russia has become one of the main targets of the terrorists.
It's already a well-known fact that since Putin started his bombing campaign in Syria and his relentless support for the country's dictator Bashar al Assad, many extremists groups including ISIS consider the Kremlin an enemy.
But some extremists who are fighting in Afghanistan this very moment have different reasons. Militants from Tajikistan and Uzbekistan are already in the ranks of both the Taliban and ISIS.
Both countries are known for their infamous dictatorships that regularly jail, torture and kill members of any kind of opposition against them. In fact, they are not much different from the Assad regime.
Besides, both Tajikistan and Uzbekistan are not just main allies of the US's "War on Terror" in the region, but also get huge support from Russia.
Over the last years, all these events and circumstances have led to the radicalization of many young people.
