Ali Maisam Nazary, the head of foreign relations of the National Resistance Front (NRF) of Afghanistan, says he hopes the new US administration led by Donald Trump will support the resistance to topple the Taliban.
Nazary called on Trump to consider the National Resistance Front as a partner of the United States in the fight against terrorism.
Nazary, the head of foreign relations of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, said in an interview with the National Journal that after the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan, the US government no longer has accurate information about the situation inside Afghanistan. Nazary said that thousands of foreign fighters are currently operating under the banner of various terrorist groups in Afghanistan.
He also added that the National Resistance Front needs strong allies to fight terrorism in Afghanistan.
He added that the NRF has a close relationship with some key officials of the Donald Trump administration and stressed that these officials will reconsider Afghanistan in the new US administration.
The NRF official named to-be National Security Advisor Michael Waltz and Senator Marco Rubio, the new US secretary of state, as officials who better understand Afghanistan's issues and monitor the current situation in the country. He said that the officials could change US policy toward Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, Taliban officials have said that they are ready to expand relations with the United States after Trump's victory in the US presidential election.
Abbas Stanekzai, the Taliban's deputy foreign minister, had previously said that Trump was "bold and serious" and that the Taliban wanted to establish relations with him.
