Ahmad Shah Massoud met with the new acting President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Amrullah Saleh stated.
Nations must respect the rule of law , not violence. Afghanistan is too big for Pakistan to swallow and too big for Talibs to govern. Don’t let your histories have a chapter on humiliation and bowing to terror groups. https://t.co/nNo84Z7tEf

Ahmad Shah Massoud

(Dari/Pashto: احمد شاه مسعود; Persian pronunciation: ʔæhmæd ʃɒːh mæsʔuːd] September 2, 1953 – September 9, 2001) was an Afghan politician and military commander. He was a powerful guerrilla commander during the resistance against the Soviet occupation between 1979 and 1989. In the 1990s, he led the government's military wing against rival militias; after the Taliban takeover, he was the leading opposition commander against their regime until his assassination in 2001 by Osama Bin Laden operatives.
SEPTEMBER 6, 2019 Ahmad Massoud had criticized the “secretive Trump Taliban deal”.
A “secretive” peace deal between the United States and the Taliban could face wide resistance in Afghanistan if it opens the door to the insurgents’ hardline regime, said the son of Ahmad Shah Massoud, the slain hero of the anti-Soviet resistance.

A week after the Taliban has taken power in Afghanistan through the collapse of the U.S propped-up Government, leaders of the Taliban insurgency are conducting internal talks and meetings with former rivals on forming what they have promised to be an “inclusive Islamic government.” The framework for the formation of the new government is expected to be announced soon, Taliban officials in Kabul said.
