Ahmed Masood is the head of the National Defense Force in Afghanistan. Ahmad Masood bears a striking resemblance to his father in body shape. Pictures of former Afghan Vice President Amrullah Saleh meeting him have recently gone viral on social media. According to reports, the two are preparing for a guerrilla war against the Taliban.
Masood recently described in detail the long and complicated struggles that lie ahead of him Washington PostWrote an article on. It says, “I am writing from the valley of Panchsheer. I am preparing to follow in my father’s footsteps. Our Mujahideen fighters are ready to fight the Taliban once again. We have many weapons that we have stored since the time of my father. We had expected this day to come. ”
“The Taliban is not the only challenge facing the Afghan people. Under Taliban control, Afghanistan will become a hub for Islamic extremist activities. Plans to undermine democratic practices will continue to be hatched here, ”Masood wrote.
Ahmed Masood urges all world powers to stand by the fight against the Taliban. “Resistance has only just begun, and the word surrender is not in my vocabulary,” Ahmad Masood told the French philosopher Bernard Henry Levi. In 1998, when he was just nine years old, Masood heard his father say in a cave where the militants in Panchsheer were gathered, “When you fight for your freedom, you fight for the freedom of others.” Masood has the same idea to tell the West, asking for support in the fight against the Taliban.
“We have fought for a long time to build an open society. We want girls to become doctors, to report to the media without fear, and to be able to watch football and enjoy music in stadiums used by the Taliban to carry out executions, ”Masood said. He also expressed concern that the Taliban would resume public executions.
Panchsheer is the only Taliban stronghold in Afghanistan. The valley was one of the safest places in the region during the NATO-backed government from 2001 to 2021. The history of the freedom struggle of this region is also the history of Ahmad Shah Masood. He is the most famous anti-Taliban fighter in the history of the country. But he was assassinated in 2001 by militant groups.
Born in the Valley in 1953, Masood chose the name Masood in 1979, meaning “Blessed, Helped”. He led the struggle against the Communist government in Kabul and the Soviet Union at the same time. He is one of the most famous Mujahideen commanders in the country.
