Anti-Taliban Forces Mobilised Against the Group, Says NRF

On the anniversary of the Soviet Union’s Invasion of Afghanistan, the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, led by Ahmad Massoud, in a statement on Wednesday said that anti-Taliban forces are getting mobilised.

The front said that the "battle strongholds in different parts of the country" have been "activated" against the Taliban.

In its statement, NRF emphasised that the Taliban "pulled the US and NATO troops into Afghanistan”.

In recent months, the Afghanistan Freedom Front has been able to carry out several guerrilla attacks on Taliban outposts. However, the NRF’s attacks on the Taliban has been limited.

Taliban officials have said that these two fronts’ attacks are not a serious threat to the group and they have been able to expand its rule over all parts of the country. Taliban’s foreign minister on Sunday had said that the opposition of the Taliban does not control any part of Afghanistan.

In its statement, the Resistance Front urged the people of Afghanistan to unite and collectively work towards bringing an end to the Taliban's rule.

The front has once again emphasised on the formation of the government based on the "will of the people" and according to the "ethnic and cultural diversity" of Afghanistan.
