RASC News Agency: Hamed Saifi, a senior commander of the National Resistance Front (NRF), has reaffirmed that true Islamic governance is founded on trust, accountability, and service to the people not on tyranny and self-righteousness. In a sharp condemnation of the Taliban, Saifi accused the group of consistently acting against the national interests of Afghanistan, stating that they have never served the people or worked for the betterment of society. He described the Taliban leadership as autocratic rulers who demand unquestioning obedience while shirking all responsibility toward the nation.
In a post on his X account, Saifi wrote:
“The leader of this group, in his latest address, absolved himself of any responsibility for the widespread poverty and suffering in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, their self-proclaimed governor in Balkh has threatened citizens, declaring that no one has the right to criticize their oppressive regime.” Referring to verses from the Holy Quran, Commander Saifi asserted that resisting and overthrowing an unjust regime is a divine command. He emphasized that the fight against the Taliban is not only a national duty but also a religious obligation.
He called upon the people of Afghanistan not to remain silent in the face of oppression and to continue their resistance until the Taliban regime is completely dismantled. Saifi further declared that the Taliban’s downfall is inevitable and that their rule is nothing more than a fleeting phase in Afghanistan’s history. Previously, various NRF commanders and officials have echoed similar sentiments, vowing to fight until the complete collapse of Taliban rule. The National Resistance Front of Afghanistan remains the most active armed opposition force against the Taliban, having launched hundreds of operations over the past three years, resulting in over 500 Taliban casualties and more than 600 wounded.
The NRF has consistently reiterated its commitment to armed resistance, positioning itself as the final stronghold against tyranny, extremism, and the systematic oppression of the Afghanistani people.
