[ToloNews] A number of residents in Takhar, a province in northern Afghanistan, have taken up arms to fight alongside the Afghan cops against the Taliban

the political office of Ahmad Massoud, the son of Ahmad Shah Massoud, the National Hero of Afghanistan, has said that people in Takhar, Baghlan, Kunduz and Samangan provinces are ready to start the second resistance against the Taliban under his leadership.

Those who have taken up arms in Takhar have said that they are ready to fight under Massoud’s leadership.

"We have to show to these aliens (Taliban) that this is the center of resistance, this area has an owner and brave youthq," said Dr. Gulistan.

Some of the gunnies said that they were attacked by the Taliban on Monday after they gathered in the area to talk about the second resistance against the Taliban.

"The Massoud Foundation and the political office of Ahmad Massoud are seeking a major political movement in Afghanistan to be ready for a possible boycott of the peace negotiation process by the Taliban or if they refuse to talk to the government," said Rahmatullah Bezhanpor, member of Jamaat-e-Islami
...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores...

Ahmad Zia Saraj, the head of the National Directorate of Security (NDS) said that discussions are underway with all the gangs that were created in cooperation with the Afghan security institutions.

"We are in talks with them, our discussions will start with them soon...anyone within the structure of the government itself. As you know, we have some groups known as public uprising forces who operate within the framework of the government and based on the needs that we have in some areas they cooperate with us," said Saraj.

Nevertheless, Amrullah Saleh, the First Vice President of Afghanistan, said that people all over the country are ready to defend the country against any hostile move.

"The national spirit has been on the rise compared to the past when there was discussion about the withdrawal of US forces. Mr. President, there is no province where the people do not consult us and say that they are ready to defend what we call 'the gains,'" said Saleh.

#1 Following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 12/1979, a crucial meeting of nascent Islamist movements was held at Lahore in Fall 1990. It involved in secret session a conference of radical Islamists about which little was ever revealed. Its "stated goal and central resolution" was the creation of a "Great Islamic Republic" that would unite the Middle East by the year 2000. The elimination of the region's Jews and Christians was central to that goal. The meeting was hosted by the then powerful Jamaat-i-Islami (JI), an Islamist organization which traced its roots to British India and as noted, was founded by Maulana Abdul Ala Maududi (1905-1979). To this day the JI has been committed to jihad, and no peace in Afghanistan can be expected as long as it maintains its powerful presence along the Afghan- Pak frontier and throughout Pushtun-dominated Afgghanistan.

#2  Its "stated goal and central resolution" was the creation of a "Great Islamic Republic" that would unite the Middle East by the year 2000. The elimination of the region's Jews and Christians was central to that goal.

So that’s the start of very connected lone wolves we keep seeing — a jihadi from one group financed by another and supported or friends’n’relations with those in even more groups.

They are succeeding in driving the Christians out of the Ummah, but the Jews of Israel are more secure now than they have ever been, despite the efforts of the Harris-Biden administration. And the Middle East is as divided as ever, if not more so.

I’ve reluctantly concluded that no peace will come to Afghanistan so long as there are Pashtuns in it... and possibly not afterward, either.
