Summary[edit]

Description
English: U.S. Army Lt. Col. Russell V. Simmons, Task Force Mountain Warrior's 1st Squadron, 108th Cavalry Regiment commander addresses village elders, Jan. 21, during a Shinwari tribal jirga. More than 170 Maliks, or village elders, met for the precedence setting Afghan traditional council hosted by Nangarhar province's Zone One Afghan border police 6th Kandak in Shinwar. The jirga was a platform for the Maliks to voice security, education and corruption concerns. The Shinwari sub-tribes later committed to working with security forces by signing an Anti-Taliban Shinwari Pact. The jirga, according to television and radio reports, sent a powerful and irrefutable message of tribal solidarity to the Taliban and those allowing corrupt governance. The pact also promised dire consequence to those found guilty of harboring the Taliban or cultivating poppy products. "I applaud you for [signing the agreement]," Simmons said. "We stand ready to fight to the end for peace and victory alongside you and our Afghan national security force brothers in arms."
