Masood: If Taliban Do Not Negotiate, A New Civil War In Afghanistan Is Inevitable

The Taliban have established control over almost the entire territory of Afghanistan, but not all pockets of resistance to the militants have been suppressed. Thus, in the Panjshir Valley, one of the opposition leaders, Ahmad Masud, and the former vice-president of the country, Amrullah Saleh, with troops loyal to them, are hiding at the base. Resistance forces are calling on the Western powers to help them fight the Taliban (a terrorist organization banned in Russia).

Ahmad Massoud, whose father, Ahmad Shah Massoud, fought back in the 80s of the last century against Soviet troops, puts an ultimatum to the Taliban and calls for an agreement on the division of power in Afghanistan. Otherwise, according to him, the country will face an inevitable civil war, since the supporters of Massoud do not intend to give up their positions.



We resisted the Soviet Union, we can resist the Taliban

- noted Masood (quoted by The Guardian).

Meanwhile, the Taliban are focused on restoring order at Kabul airport and beyond. The facility is run by the Americans, and the Taliban are complaining about the anarchy and tyranny that retreating US troops are sowing. At the same time, the Islamists emphasize that they do not force anyone to join them and do not hinder those wishing to leave Afghanistan.

    What they are counting on is not clear. Will Masood Jr. leave again and remember his student years in England? It's good in Europe, they named a path in the park after my dad. Everyone showed that they appreciate it. What will happen to the rest? We look at Kabul and count the airfields in Pandshera ... The country was abandoned, and now they suddenly begin to help? That they will again decisively step on a rake? Imagine how Biden comes to the podium and announces a new company smile Or will the British themselves help?

    Really just darlings.
    In 92, the Mujahideen Hekmatyar, Rabbani, Dostum, Masud and others defeated the DRA, which Yeltsin simply betrayed.
    President was captured at the UN office, publicly hanged
    With the support of the United States, beauty, sweetness and goodness of the air came. True, the people did not get better

    At 96, the Taliban showed up and said that we will blow up two statues in Bamiyan and it will be, see above
    They did not deceive, they blew up, only the people did not get better
    In 2001, the CIA blew up 3 (three) WTC buildings, accused the Saudi Bin Laden, occupied Afghanistan
    The people did not get better
    2021 after 20 years the Taliban returned,
    Honestly on a blue (Karem) eye

        Reminded from an anecdote:

        - Sorry, coach, we missed 2: 0, tomorrow we will play even better.

        Today, an official of Russian diplomacy in Kabul, in some program, enthusiastically talked about the prosperity in Kabul. Finally, the Afghan people breathed a sigh of relief, especially women and girls. And in Kabul everything is absolutely calm, traders trade, cars go somewhere. Two minutes later he turned off the "iron", such tales with branded noodles, not all ears will stand.

    Hundreds of thousands of refugees are the potential of confrontation with the new government, and its opponents are practically all states of the world that have supported the UN resolution recognizing the Taliban as a terrorist organization.
    Therefore, we can confidently assume that the gangs of Massoud will not experience problems with money, weapons, diplomatic, informational and any other support.
    90% stability in Afghanistan depends on the PRC, which has good relations with the neighboring states of Afghanistan - Pakistan, Iran, the Russian Federation, which overlap the borders of Afghanistan along the entire perimeter, has economic resources and, like no one else, is interested in the political and economic stability of Afghanistan.
    The departure of the Sshasovites gives the PRC a chance to develop the NSP and economic expansion not only in Afghanistan. The Sshasovites understand this, because the withdrawal of troops causes a fierce fire of criticism, up to the impeachment of the sleepy Joe. Therefore, the decision to leave remains in question - various options are offered as to how the SSHAs can stay there while leaving Afghanistan. Oddly enough, even the Russian Federation does not object to this, citing the threat of the growth of extremism in the post-Soviet states of Central Asia. which even without the Taliban is above the roof. Interethnic enmity develops into hostilities at the borders and it is difficult for the Russian Federation to settle this today and it will be impossible tomorrow.

    What a great choice the world has, between good and bad terrorists ...
    Although what's the difference how they are executed: in the electric chair or chopping off the head ...
