Once again, Dr. Aisha Wahab 愛莎華 is trying to exploit divisions within the diaspora from Afghanistan in the United States by using the ethnic card to gain support in an already vulnerable and polarized community. Supporting one flag that served as the official flag of Afghanistan at different points in the last century is one thing. But calling the flag of the democratic resistance a “warlord flag” is completely unacceptable. Tens of thousands of people fought under that flag for freedom and democracy from 1994 to 2001, and thousands sacrificed their lives. Since 2021, it has once again become a symbol of resistance against oppression and the struggle for the country’s liberation. Someone who genuinely believes in inclusivity should not insult a symbol that is dear to millions of people. Just a day ago, many criticized me for pointing out the contradiction and hypocrisy we see among some supporters of King Amanullah, who first adopted this flag in 1928. They praise his legacy while at the same time lobbying for the normalization and recognition of the Taliban, which represents the complete opposite of many of the values they claim to celebrate. The NRF, from day one, has respected both flags. That is the rational and cohesive approach, particularly in a country with such a complicated history and a deeply divided society. Respecting the symbols and historical experiences of different communities is how you bring people together, not by mocking or dismissing what millions hold dear. For millions of citizens of Afghanistan, this flag represents dignity, honor, sacrifice, and the struggle for freedom and basic rights. Dismissing it as a “warlord flag” shows complete disregard for the sacrifices of those who fought and died under it. Comments like these will only deepen divisions and further mobilize the diaspora from Afghanistan in California and across the United States to call out her hypocrisy, prejudice, and selective presentation of the history of Afghanistan.

Commander Saleh Muhammad Registani, a senior military figure in the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, has returned to the country after several years. He fought the Soviet invasion and occupation in the 1980s and the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorist groups in the 1990s. Today we published his video message from inside Afghanistan. The resistance against terror and tyranny continues, and it is growing by the day. Since 2021, the people of Afghanistan, our neighbors and regional countries, and the international community have given the Taliban chance after chance to change course. They have wasted every one of them. At the same time, geopolitical shifts in the region and around the world have created conditions that has made the demise of the Taliban inevitable. The NRF is therefore intensifying its efforts and pursuing a clear strategy for the liberation of Afghanistan. Our goal is a democratic, pluralistic, and decentralized Afghanistan where all citizens are treated equally, whatever their gender, ethnicity, religious belief, or background. We want an Afghanistan free of terrorism and at peace with itself and its neighbors, a country that can become a source of security, stability, and prosperity for all its neighbors and the globe at large. After more than a century of war, oppression, extremism, and tyranny, Afghanistan deserves a new chapter of freedom, peace, democracy, and dignity for all its citizens.

For over three and a half years, the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan has warned that the Taliban and Al Qaeda strategically mask their global terror activities by attributing attacks to ISIS. With this approach, they claim they aren’t exporting terrorism from Afghanistan while maintaining plausible deniability. Ample evidence confirms this deception. In June 2024, terror cells of Tajikistani terrorists claiming to be ISIS were uncovered in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and New York. We know these terrorists received training in Afghanistan under the protection of the Taliban and crossed the southern border to enter the US. The video shared here proves this tactic. It features Tajikistani terrorists from Ansarullah, an Al Qaeda-linked group based in Afghanistan trying to overthrow Tajikistan’s republic with Taliban support. They are praising former Taliban terrorist leader Mullah Omar for defeating the US in Afghanistan and declaring their intention to “take Tajikistan just as we took Afghanistan.” Despite using an ISIS flag, their allegiance clearly lies with the Taliban and Al Qaeda. The international community, especially the United States, must recognize this deception. Taliban-occupied Afghanistan remains the epicenter of terrorism, where foreign terrorists are trained and given Afghanistan’s passports and attacks are planned. The fight against terror requires a unified, forceful stance against both ISIS and Taliban-Al Qaeda since both are two sides of the same coin.

Earlier this year, in March 2026, the Mayor of Paris hosted a conference on resistance in Afghanistan, with NRF leader Ahmad Massoud as the guest of honor and keynote speaker. During a panel examining the different forms of resistance, I spoke about the importance and effectiveness of all three, emphasizing that the various forms of resistance for freedom in Afghanistan are intertwined, interconnected, and mutually reinforcing. I also stressed the failure of the policy of appeasement and diplomatic laundering pursued by many countries over the past five years. These policies have produced no meaningful results and, in reality, have only further emboldened the Taliban and reinforced the radicalization of its ideology. For more, the full video of my remarks is provided below.

On March 16, 2026, the City of Paris, under the leadership of Mayor Anne Hidalgo, hosted a conference titled “Afghanistan at a Crossroads: Dialogue for Hope and Action.” Ahmad Massoud, leader of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, was invited as the special guest and delivered the keynote address. During the conference, Mr. Massoud and Deputy Mayor of Paris, Mr. Arnaud Ngatcha, delivered opening remarks, followed by two panel discussions. The first panel focused on the dire situation of women in Afghanistan, while the second addressed the various forms of resistance against the Taliban terrorist group, including armed, political, and civic efforts. The panels brought together a diverse group of participants, including French officials, members of civil society, academic experts, activists, and officials of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, including myself. The conference was attended by a wide range of French officials, as well as representatives from civil society, academia, media, and the diaspora of the people of Afghanistan. This event marks one of the first major conferences held in France since 2021 specifically focused on Afghanistan, with particular emphasis on the resistance and the future of the country. A photo exhibition was also organized by renowned French photojournalist REZA, featuring his work from Afghanistan, including powerful images of the late Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud and NRF leader Ahmad Massoud. We extend our sincere appreciation to Mayor Anne Hidalgo Hidalgo, Deputy Mayor Arnaud Ngatcha, and their entire team for organizing and hosting this important conference, and for their continued support and solidarity with the people of Afghanistan.

Full message by NRF leader Ahmad Massoud delivered last week at The Soufan Center’s Global Terrorism and Political Violence Summit at Ground Zero, New York City, commemorating the 24th anniversary of 9/11 and the assassination of Afghanistan’s National Hero, Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud. This message is essential to hear given the dire situation in Afghanistan, where the threat of regional and global terrorism and extremism is rising. And with President Donald J. Trump recently referencing Afghanistan and Bagram, it is more important than ever to understand the country’s current geopolitical reality which is far worse than before 9/11.

I joined Real America's Voice (RAV) with Tera Dahl to address key points from the House Foreign Affairs Committee Majority hearing, where Secretary Antony Blinken made several false claims. He denied the existence of our resistance against terrorism, downplayed Al Qaeda’s resurgence in Taliban-occupied Afghanistan, and insisted that no prior warnings were given about the eventual fall of the government before August 15, 2021. During the interview, I outlined how these statements contradict facts and reality.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our dear friend Sandy Gall, a distinguished British journalist, author, and steadfast friend of Afghanistan. He was not only a close friend of the late Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud and his family, but also the author of Commander Massoud’s biography, drawn from the Commander’s own diaries and personal accounts. His work preserved the legacy of Afghanistan’s National Hero for the world to witness. Ahmad Massoud and I had the honor of meeting him for the last time this past February in Kent. It was a profoundly emotional encounter, filled with reflection, warmth, and shared memories. We did not know then that it would be our final meeting. His wisdom, kindness, and unwavering support for the people of Afghanistan left a lasting impression on both of us. We are privileged to have called him and his family our dear friends. On behalf of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan and its leader Ahmad Massoud, I extend our heartfelt condolences to the Gall family. We honor Sandy Gall’s remarkable legacy, his voice for freedom, and his tireless advocacy for Afghanistan. May he rest in eternal peace. Carlotta Gall

«باز سهرابی به خاک افتاد باز تهمینه سیه پوش است زخم این سهراب از شمشیر رستم نیست دشمن این پهلوان دیو است، آدم نیست قصهگوی طوس اگر میبود مویهها میکرد و خون از خامه میبارید داستان کشتن سهراب را اینبار طرح تازه میبخشید» استاد وحید قاسمی، هنرمند چیرهدست کشور، به مناسبت هفتهٔ شهید و ۲۴مین سالگرد شهادت سپهسالار آزادگان و عدالتخواهان افغانستان، قهرمان ملّی، شهید احمدشاه مسعود، سرودی خواندهاست. شعر آن از شادروان رازق فانی، از شاعران بزرگ میهن ماست که بیست و چهار سال پیش از امروز و در روزهای پس از شهادت قهرمان ملّی، این سوگنامه را در رفتن آن بزرگمرد سرود و پیشکش کرد.
