Afghanistan: Commander Massoud’s son calls for resistance to the Taliban – franceinfo

“We are left standing alone. We will never give in”, warns Ahmad Massoud. Commander Massoud’s son calls for resistance to the Taliban in Afghanistan, in a letter published in The Express and Rules of the Game, the magazine directed by Bernard-Henri Lévy. “Tyranny triumphs in Afghanistan. Servitude sets in with noise and fury”, warns the commander-in-chief of the Afghan resistance forces in the Pandjchir.

“Hideous revenge will befall our martyred country. Kabul is already groaning. Our homeland is in shackles.”

“My comrades in arms and I are going to give our blood, along with all the free Afghans who refuse servitude and whom I call on to join me in our stronghold of Pandjchir, which is the last free region of our dying country., continues Ahmad Massoud. We, Afghans, are in the situation of Europe in 1940. Except in the Pandjchir, the debacle is total and the spirit of collaboration with the Taliban begins to make school among the vanquished who lost this war because of their fault. ”

Afghanistan found itself in Taliban hands on Monday after government forces collapsed and President Ashraf Ghani fled abroad. “We Afghans didn’t even really lose a battle, since Kabul didn’t fight, considers the son of Commander Massoud. Our fighters, old and young Mujahedin, here in Pandjchir, have taken up arms again. Join us, in spirit or through direct support. “
