RASC News Agency: Two years after the Taliban took control of the country, a number of citizens and soldiers of the previous government say that they could not tolerate the continued oppression and captivity of this group. There is a need for the people inside the country to unite and stand against the Taliban and form powerful military fronts to save themselves.
These soldiers of the former government of Afghanistan have criticized the country’s politicians and said that despite the fact that they know that the political environment in Afghanistan is not in favor of the Taliban group, the absolute majority of the Afghanistani people hate this group and are waiting for the opportunity to rise up against them. However, in the last two years, they have not done anything effective to save Afghanistan and they have not been able to use this popular hatred and power against the Taliban group for the military benefit of the country.
A number of military personnel of the previous Afghanistan government have said that the defeat of the Taliban regime in the country required a collective movement and a general uprising, which was the desire of all the people of Afghanistan from the first days of the rule of this group. Nevertheless, they were unable to do so due to the lack of a specific military address, fear and arrest by the Taliban group to put them in jail.
These soldiers of the previous government have also said that in the past two years they expected the leaders of the country outside, to form fronts to take armed action against tribal captivity and to save the people of Afghanistan from the grip of the Taliban group. Until now, it can be seen that there is no effective and result-based movement in this time; they have not done anything against this group. Those politicians who were shouting the slogan of defending the people of Afghanistan against the Taliban group, have once again engaged in personal disagreements with each other and have left the people of Afghanistan in the grip of criminal terrorists.
These soldiers of the former government of Afghanistan, who according to them number up to 120, are trying to help those former comrades who are facing serious mental and economic problems in different provinces of Afghanistan under the captivity of the Taliban group, and on the other hand, they are targeted by the intelligence of this group. These people want to gather in a single and regular axis, and start an armed stand against the Taliban group in their own way.
A soldier of the former government of Afghanistan, pseudonym Shafiqullah, who was the commander of a hundred-member unit of “Commando Commander” forces in the former Afghanistan army, said that their hope for the country’s commanders and politicians to save Afghanistan has ended and they have been waiting for the past two years. A specific address should be made by them to defend Afghanistan, but what they expected has not happened.
These soldiers of the former government of Afghanistan praised the stand of the forces of the Freedom Front of Afghanistan and the National Resistance Front in the last two years against the Taliban. In addition, they said that the people of these two military fronts also lacked the military facilities and equipment needed for war due to the lack of coordination between the country’s politicians. Moreover, the uncertainty of those who are against the Taliban regime has led to these fronts, so that they too cannot carry out impressive and effective military activities and gather the people of the country, especially the former soldiers, around them.
These former soldiers have called the defense minister of the former government of Afghanistan “Bismilllah Mohammadi” as a coward and a trader. He did not use the military power available at that time to save Afghanistan and prevent the advance of the Taliban group, because according to them, Mr. Mohammadi was under the burden. The ethnic deals of Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai and his close circle were placed.
Insider efforts to form military fronts against the Taliban group by the former soldiers and the people of Afghanistan have increased after the Taliban group, in the two years of its domination over Afghanistan, carried out various types of torture, oppression and previous tyranny on the non-Pashtun ethnic groups in the country. A large number of the soldiers of the previous government of Afghanistan have arrested, tortured, imprisoned and shot them for the crime of working for the previous government or the accusation of cooperation with the National Resistance Front.
Previously, Marshal Abdul Rashid Dostum, the leader of the National Movement Party of Afghanistan and the current member of the National Resistance Council to Save Afghanistan, on the second anniversary of the Taliban’s rule over Afghanistan, pointed out the hatred of the people towards the Taliban and the crimes of this group.
Dostum said: “The people of Afghanistan are aware of the situation “The existing ones are fed up and they just need a leader.” Mr. Dostum also said: “For the defeat of the Taliban group from Afghanistan, there is no need for American military equipment anymore, the people are fed up and they need a leader.”
Military experts have identified the ethnic behavior, organized crime and monopoly of political power by the Taliban group in Afghanistan as the main factors of people’s hatred towards this group and said that the geography, population and political atmosphere of Afghanistan are not in favor of the Taliban group, according to these soldiers. The only factor that made these three cases in favor of this group is their tyranny, cruelty and painful tortures in front of the people of Afghanistan that neither the world paid attention to these cruel crimes nor the leaders who called themselves the people’s supporters.
Ehsanullah Haidari is the pseudonym of the former Afghanistan army, he said in a conversation with RASC News Agency: “The biggest success factor in war is popular support, mastering the war geography and having the support of the political environment, the Taliban group does not have any of these three factors. They don’t have them, people hate them, the geography of Afghanistan, especially the north, is not in favor of this group, and in international political forums, this group has no political status and is known as a terrorist and criminal group.”
According to this former military officer, if a movement is started in Afghanistan to confront the Taliban group from any part of the country and has a specific address, that movement will soon turn into a national uprising against this group and they will definitely be defeated.
The soldiers of the former government in the support of the people while announcing the creation of a powerful military front against the Taliban group. Yesterday, a number of these former soldiers who spent some time in the prison of the Taliban group and got out alive from there, with the painful narrative of the condition of the prisons of this group talking to RASC News Agency. These soldiers said that the Taliban group used inhumane tortures such as urinating on the prisoners’ faces, feeding them with human excrement, putting hot knives in their bodies, sticking needles in their penises, hanging them by one leg for three days and nights, and giving them electric shocks. They have told about the tortures of this group in front of the soldiers and employees of the previous government.
