On October 12, 2021, the leader of the Panjshir resistance Ahmad Massoud expressed gratitude to the people for rising against the actions of the Taliban in Afghanistan in his statement.

“Your continuous and massive popular protests in the cities of Afghanistan and around the world, which took place after the call of the Resistance Front, where you risked your lives and safety, have opened a new chapter in the history of our country, as well as in internal and external relations,” the statement said.

Ahmad Massoud also accused the Taliban of committing war crimes, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity, and accused the fugitive President of Afghanistan Ashraf Ghani of “state treason.”

“We welcome the position of some countries in the world that refuse to officially recognize the Taliban government and insist on the formation of an inclusive government in Afghanistan. We expect this policy of non-recognition to continue,” Massoud emphasized in the statement.

“The National Resistance Front of Afghanistan continues to make efforts to change the current situation for the better, and God willing, one day we will witness the establishment of legitimacy and lasting peace in Afghanistan.”

It was previously reported that the leader of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan Ahmad Massoud is in Tajikistan due to security threats. However, in his statement, he did not disclose where and in which country he is currently located. The statement also does not mention Tajikistan or specify what support Emomali Rahmon provides to the National Resistance Front.
