3 years after US withdrawal, Afghan resistance still ignored by US, West

Since the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the National Resistance Front has positioned itself as the main opposition to the Taliban's rule, but they've struggled to gain traction.

Ali Nazary, head of foreign relations for the NRF, told Fox News Digital that the resistance group has launched more than 200 successful operations against the Taliban since January. Nazary said the NRF has expanded its focus to Afghanistan’s urban centers and has been targeting Taliban commanders. The diversity of targets shows the "precision, capabilities and experience the freedom fighters have gained and shows the weaknesses of the enemy," Nazary said.

As part of the withdrawal agreement with the Trump administration, the Taliban agreed to prevent al Qaeda and other terrorist groups from using Afghan soil to target or threaten the U.S. and its allies, but a new U.N. Security Council report indicates that the Taliban has done little to curb al Qaeda activity in Afghanistan. The report notes that al Qaeda opened eight new training camps and has safe havens in various parts of the country, including the rebel stronghold of northern Afghanistan.
