RASC News Agency: The National Resistance Front of Afghanistan (NRF) has vehemently denounced the latest report by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), dismissing it as biased and exclusively reliant on Taliban sources. In a statement released on Tuesday, January 28, via X, the NRF categorically refuted the report’s claims, labeling them as baseless. The resistance group underscored that its targeted operations have been meticulously designed to eliminate Taliban militants while minimizing any potential harm to civilians. The NRF reaffirmed its steadfast commitment to protecting the Afghanistani people, emphasizing that a core strategic objective is to conduct operations in low-density areas to prevent civilian casualties. The group further stressed that its forces exercise extreme caution during missions to ensure the safety of non-combatants.
As an international institution, UNAMA must safeguard its credibility and stand in solidarity with the Afghanistani people, the NRF asserted. The resistance movement called on the UN mission to shift its focus toward exposing and documenting the Taliban’s daily atrocities rather than issuing reports that, in effect, undermine the legitimate struggle against tyranny. The NRF also expressed its willingness to collaborate with UNAMA in conducting impartial and professional investigations to document war crimes and human rights violations. The controversy follows UNAMA’s recent report, which accuses the NRF of causing civilian casualties during its guerrilla operations against the Taliban. Notably, since the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan, the NRF has launched sporadic attacks on Taliban fighters across multiple provinces.
Moreover, the NRF accused UNAMA of historical complicity, arguing that over the past two decades, the UN mission aligned itself with systemic corruption, electoral fraud, and injustice under the Karzai and Ghani administrations. The resistance group further contended that the same individuals who once enabled these regimes are now bolstering the Taliban a group it denounces as ethnically supremacist and fascist.
