Ali Maisam Nazary, the head of foreign relations of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan (NRF), said that Ansarullah wants to overthrow the government of Tajikistan by using the flag of ISIS and following the Taliban.
Ansarullah uses the ISIS flag, but is loyal to the Taliban and al-Qaeda, Nazari said.
The official of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan also posted a video on his account on the social media platform X in which Tajik fighters can be seen praising Mullah Omar, the founder of the Taliban.
The head of the NRF's foreign relations said that the fight against terrorism in Afghanistan requires a united stance, because "ISIS, the Taliban, and al-Qaeda" are two sides of the same coin.
He stated that the Taliban claims that they do not export terrorism outside Afghanistan by attributing their attacks to ISIS. He noted that the international community, especially the United States, should be aware of this tactic of the Taliban and know that Afghanistan under the "occupation of the Taliban" is still a hotbed of terrorism.
This official of the National Resistance Front claimed that foreign terrorists are currently being trained in Afghanistan and are planning attacks abroad with Afghan passports. He also said that "Tajik terrorists" who claimed to be members of ISIS and were identified in Los Angeles and Philadelphia at the beginning of 2024 were trained in Afghanistan and supported by the Taliban.
The official of the NRF claimed that Ansarullah, a group opposed to the government of Tajikistan, is supported by the Taliban in Afghanistan, while Abdul Kabir, the Taliban's political deputy prime minister, had announced on Friday the expansion of the group's political relations with Tajikistan.
Abdul Kabir had said that the Afghan embassy in Tajikistan has not been handed over to the group so far, but trade relations between the two sides are ongoing and political relations have progressed.
