RASC News Agency: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recently underscored the significance of communication between the Taliban group and the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan. During a press conference on January 18th, Lavrov delved into Moscow’s foreign policy achievements in 2023. He acknowledged the Taliban’s current control in Afghanistan and highlighted Russia’s consistent contacts with the group. Lavrov specifically urged the Taliban to establish an inclusive government for international recognition.
It is noteworthy that Russia, despite traditionally supporting the anti-Taliban front, hosted a delegation from the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan in November of the previous year. Led by Ahmad Massoud, this delegation represented one of the fronts actively engaged in military operations against the Taliban. Their efforts have resulted in casualties and financial losses for the Taliban on multiple occasions. Lavrov’s statement underscores the necessity for dialogue and cooperation between the Taliban and the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan.
By urging the Taliban to form an inclusive government, Russia aims to promote stability and recognition in the region. As a country with significant influence in the Afghanistan conflict, Russia’s stance on this matter carries weight and could potentially contribute to the resolution of the ongoing crisis. In addition to the National Resistance Front, several other fronts have emerged to combat the Taliban group and work towards dismantling their regime to liberate the country. Among these are the Freedom Front of Afghanistan and the National Mobilization Front, both actively opposing the Taliban, alongside the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan.
