Haqqani Admits Taliban Leaders Have Differences on How to Address Problems of Afghanistan

The Taliban hasn't reacted to the AFF claims yet.

Afghanistan Freedom Front said that its fighters used "light and heavy weapons" in this attack.

The front added that its forces were not harmed during this operation.

AFF, which has recently increased its attacks on the Taliban, has released a video of the latest attack too.

Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF) has too said that it will continue the armed resistance against the Taliban until the liberation of the country.

In a statement, referring to the behaviour of the Taliban over the past two years, especially the severe restrictions on women, the National Resistance Council for Salvation of Afghanistan said that unilateral engagement with the Taliban is against the will and interests of the Afghan people.

The council asked different countries "not to ignore the right of the people of [Afghanistan] and respect it”.

This council considered Afghanistan under the control of the Taliban as the center where there will be growth and re-emergence of terrorist groups and warned the international community about being indifferent to it.

The council also said that the Doha agreement has been "the main bedrock for the current pathetic situation" and should not be the focus of future political equations.

AFF, one of the active groups which reports of attacks against the Taliban, stated that the Taliban has imposed severe restrictions on Afghan women, displaced people forcefully from their homes and regions, and killed members of the security forces of the previous Afghan government.

"Now, the question is, by what criteria and mechanism is it possible to end the usurping rule of the barbaric and criminal Taliban group, except for justified defence and armed resistance,” the front asked.

According to reports, the number of ISIS members and their families has been estimated to be between 4,000 and 6,000.

According to a report by the UN experts released on Monday, the group known as the Islamic State or Daesh still commands between five and seven thousand members throughout its former base in Syria and Iraq.

In their report, these experts emphasised that ISIS fighters are the most serious terrorist threat in Afghanistan today.

UN experts said that despite the significant losses in the leadership of the ISIS group and the reduction of its activities in Syria and Iraq, there is still a risk of its resurgence. The report noted that ISIS has reshaped its strategy and adapted to local populations.

Based on ISIS's strategy, the group has been careful to choose battles that are likely to result in less casualties.

After winning the championship in Rotterdam, Netherlands, in a message, she dedicated her win to Afghan women.

Khudadadi won the first match with a decisive result of 32-2 against Busra Emire from Turkey; then she defeated Viktoriia Marchuk from Ukraine (18-9) and reached the final.

In the final, she faced Nurcihan Ekinci, another Turkish athlete. Although the match was tied 6-6; but Khudadadi won the European championship due to better performance and judges' votes.

In a message sent to Afghanistan International TV, Khudadadi said, "I shed tears throughout the distribution of medals and awards because I am a refugee and my country's flag was not present at the competition, nor was the national anthem of Afghanistan played at the competition hall.”

She was a former member of Afghanistan's national para taekwondo team and had represented her country in various national and international competitions and won several medals. On her X account, Khudadadi wrote, "I present this gold medal of the European Championship to all the brave girls and women of my country, Afghanistan."

Despite doubts about her participation in the Tokyo Paralympic games after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan on August 15, 2021, Khudadadi managed to go to France with Hossein Rasouli and carry the Afghan flag at the closing ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics.

She is the first Afghan female athlete who was able to secure the Paralympic quota.

Zakia Khudadadi, who has a disability in her left hand and still does not have a French passport, said, "I am the first disabled Afghan woman to win a gold medal in the European Championship."

NRF told Afghanistan International that its forces were not harmed in the attack that took place on Sunday night.

In a statement, NRF added that the weapons and ammunition of these three Taliban members have been confiscated by the Taliban members.

The Taliban has not reacted to NRF’s statement so far.

NRF and Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF), which continue to fight against the Taliban, have increased their military operations against the Taliban in recent days.

The two anti-Taliban resistance groups have reported several operations against Taliban forces in various provinces of Afghanistan.
