Nahzat - e Islami is a good example of military commanders refusing to unite in spite of the agreement of their leaders. Its senior leaders participated in the unification process and hosted one of the meetings in their stronghold in the Jaghouri district of Ghazni. However, Wasiq, Nehzat’ s main military commander in the district, refused to dismantle his military structure and continued to operate under the name of Nahzat. This resulted in a military confrontation with the formerly Nasr commanders who were fighting on behalf of Hezb - e Wahdat. The conflict resulted in the total defeat of Nahzat and other smaller organisations in this district in 1993. |
