Ahmad Massoud, the leader of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, has warned that the Taliban continue to maintain ties with regional terrorist groups, posing a threat to Afghanistan, the region, and the world.
In an interview with the Hudson Institute, Ahmad Massoud emphasized that the Taliban have failed to fulfill their promises of establishing a responsible government and have maintained close relations with regional terrorist organizations.
He warned that the presence and coordination of terrorist groups in Afghanistan pose a serious threat to regional and global security.
Massoud stated that with the support of the people and the international community, the National Resistance Front can contribute to lasting peace and stability in Afghanistan.
He accused the Taliban of violating their international commitments by restricting people’s freedoms and continuing their oppressive policies.
The leader of the National Resistance Front stressed that since the fall of the Republic in 2021, the Afghan people have resisted the Taliban in various ways, and the National Resistance Front remains one of the most significant opposition forces.
These remarks come at a time when many international analysts have also expressed concern about the resurgence of terrorist groups in Afghanistan and the threats they pose to the region and the world.
