[AMUtv] The National Resistance® Council for the Salvation of Afghanistan made suggestions in an online meeting on Sunday as part of a plan to save the country and recommended both political and military solutions and also proposed various phases to reach its goals.The National Resistance® Council for the Salvation of Afghanistan said it believes that the people of Afghanistan and the world can save Afghanistan from the crisis it is experiencing by creating a collective will and launching sincere political efforts before it is too late and all opportunities for political understanding are lost.
This process can protect the lives and safety of the citizens of the countries of the region and the world from reliving the bitter experience of terrorist attacks emanating from Afghanistan, the council noted.

...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration.
