The National Resistance Council for the Salvation of Afghanistan has issued a stark warning that the current situation under the Taliban’s rule presents a greater danger than the Soviet occupation.
In a statement, the council urged for an extensive and definitive resistance against the Taliban, involving all political, military, and civilian sectors of Afghan society.
Highlighting the Taliban's refusal to engage in meaningful dialogue to resolve Afghanistan's crises, the council criticised the group for its focus on a small, ethnically and ideologically homogenous faction, disregarding the broader Afghan populace.
In a statement, the National Resistance Council outlined its commitment to exploring all methods of resistance, depending solely on divine support and the resilience of the Afghan people.
Moreover, the council has called on the international community and neighbouring countries to hear the plight of the Afghan people rather than continuing their unilateral support for the Taliban regime. It strongly advised against any engagement with or support for the current rulers of Afghanistan.
The council also cautioned that any agreements made with the Taliban regarding the exploitation of Afghanistan's natural resources are both illegitimate and illegal, calling such actions as plunder.
Reflecting on the historical significance of the Mujahideen's victory over the Soviet forces, the council acknowledged this monumental triumph while also noting the painful and instructive events that followed.
The National Resistance Council for the Salvation of Afghanistan comprises veteran leaders of the anti-Soviet Jihad, former government officials, and leaders of significant Afghan political parties. Established abroad after the Taliban's takeover, its influential members, including Marshal Abdul Rashid Dostum, Atta Mohammad Noor, Mohammad Mohaqiq, Abdul Rab Rasul Sayyaf, and Sarwar Danish, continue their activities from outside Afghanistan.
