At Least 200 IS Fighters 'Surrender' In Northern Afghanistan
Dozens of Islamic State (IS) fighters have surrendered to Afghan forces, amid intense fighting between followers of the extremist group and the Taliban in the northern province of Jawzjan, an official says.
Provincial police chief Faqeer Mohammad Jawzjani told RFE/RL on August 1 that at least 200 militants had surrendered in Darzab district since late on July 31.
Jawzjani said the main IS stronghold in northern Afghanistan was now under the control of the Taliban, which has been fighting its rival group there for a month.

So, the article goes on to say, ISIS is clashing with the Taliban who must be defeating them rather soundly, so the ISIS fighters surrender to "government security forces", the government of Afghanistan. See how confusing it is really.
