Ahmad Massoud, leader of the National Resistance Front (NRF), emphasized the urgent need to counter the Taliban through military means, aiming to dismantle the group. Speaking during a commemoration event in London marking the first anniversary of Commander Khair Mohammad Khairkhah Andrabi's death in battle with the Taliban, Massoud underscored the gravity of the situation in Afghanistan, particularly the "gender apartheid" imposed by the Taliban.

Addressing the online gathering, Massoud called for unified efforts from anti-Taliban fronts and stressed the importance of collective action against the Taliban's oppression. He highlighted the dire conditions for women under Taliban rule, condemning the unprecedented detention of women.

Massoud raised the issue of gender apartheid with international legal authorities and urged the international community to support the Afghan people's resistance. Describing the Taliban as an "extremist, terrorist, and tyrannical" group, he challenged them to embrace elections, trusting the people's vote.

Despite differing views among opposition groups, Massoud urged against strategic differences, emphasizing the need for unity. He announced the expansion of NRF's operations in Afghanistan and called on other anti-Taliban groups to broaden their efforts.

During the meeting, former Vice-President Yunus Qanooni rejected the idea of an inclusive government in Afghanistan, advocating for a fundamental national change. Atta Mohammad Noor, a member of the National Resistance Council, urged the inclusion of political factions and women's representatives in the United Nations meeting in Doha. The statements reflect the growing resistance against the Taliban and a call for international support for a transformative shift in Afghanistan's situation.
