In the post Taliban era, Bamyan has been the most peaceful province of Afghanistan where coalition forces move around with confidence and foreign and domestic travelers too have lower security concerns while visiting it. Today almost all the major routes connecting Afghanistan have been constructed – even in the most insecure areas. But the people travelling to or from Bamyan have to experience the worst because the roads connecting Bamyan to Center and other provinces, despite promises, remain rough and tough.

Also, no attention has been paid to promote the tourism in this province which could generate revenue to the government and bring economic betterment to lives of its residents. The reasons for why things are not changing for Bamyan are many but government's unjust allocation of development funds can be conceived as the major one.

With that deprivation prevailing in Bamyan, insecurity is another evil waiting to ruin peace in this province. Last summer, security responsibilities of Bamyan were transitioned to Afghan security forces. After a short period of less than one year, now, the Bamyan police reports of insurgents activities and intentions to turn the province insecure and ruin peace in the life of its residents.

That is what had been expected. The Taliban have a focus on to enhance their influence in transitioned areas. That seems to be a part of their post-2014 war plan. Around 20 Taliban fighters from neighboring Baghlan province have crossed into Bamyan and launched attacks in several districts, Bamyan Police Chief General Juma Guldi Yardem told Reuters on Tuesday. "They usually plant roadside bombs, lead attacks on security checkpoints and some have even launched suicide attacks on some government offices," Yardem said. The concerns about growing insurgency expressed by Afghan security official does question the capability of Afghan security forces in facing the Taliban. Worries remain at large as they lack adequate weapons and other war equipments.

The Afghan government must take reports of growing insurgency in Bamyan as 'serious' and take required measures to ensure people's safety. Meanwhile, the international community must assist in improving the economic and social infra-structure of the province.
