A group of anti-Taliban political factions and figures will hold a meeting on June 24 in Vienna with the aim of achieving "political unity and creating a clear and shared outlook among free Afghans”.
According to received information, members of the National Resistance Front, the Afghanistan Freedom Front, and the Jamiat, Junbish, and Wahdat parties will participate in this meeting.
Based on information obtained by Afghanistan International, the organisers expect close to 70 participants in this two-day meeting.
Like previous meetings, in addition to political and military factions, former government members, university professors, civil activists, and media representatives have also been invited.
The initial list of participants includes names such as Ahmad Massoud, leader of the National Resistance Front; Rangin Dadfar Spanta, former Foreign Minister; Rahmatullah Nabil, former head of the National Directorate of Security of Afghanistan, and Sima Samar, former head of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission.
It is unclear who else from other Afghan political parties and military factions will attend this meeting.
The last Vienna meeting was held in December 2023 in the Austrian capital.
