Three major anti-Taliban political groups abroad — the High Council of National Resistance, the National Salvation Assembly, and the National Movement for Peace and Justice — along with several influential Afghan politicians, have announced that they have reached a joint consensus on a unified approach to resolving Afghanistan’s ongoing crisis.
This coalition stresses that the crisis must be resolved through intra-Afghan negotiations, an inclusive national consensus, and with the mediation of the United Nations. The coalition also includes the Resistance Front led by Ahmad Massoud, which has been engaged in armed conflict with the Taliban for the past four years.
In an exclusive interview with Mohammad Hanif Atmar, former Foreign Minister of Afghanistan and a key member of this new alliance, we discussed the coalition’s structure, its operational strategy, its potential engagement with the Taliban, its relations with regional states — especially Pakistan — and its vision for Afghanistan’s political future.
Atmar emphasized that Afghanistan’s crisis must be resolved through dialogue and political compromise, and that any agreement must reflect broad national consensus. He stated:
“We are not seeking a political solution through Pakistan. But if the Taliban are willing to engage, we are ready to negotiate even in Kabul.”
