2025-02-05
[KhaamaPress] Members of the High Council of National Resistance® for the Salvation of Afghanistan, composed of key leaders from the former government, have stated that they met with an American delegation.

Mohammad Mohaqiq, leader of the Islamic Unity Party of Afghanistan, told Voice of America on Tuesday, February 4, that several members of the High Council of Resistance®, including himself, met with a delegation sent by the Global Peace Operations Initiative.

According to him, the American delegation visited them around two days ago to discuss issues related to Afghanistan. The delegation was sent by the Global Peace Operations Initiative for this purpose.

The leader of the Islamic Unity Party added that several members of the High Council of Resistance® for the Salvation of Afghanistan, including himself and Marshal Abdul Rashid Dostum
...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier...
, the leader of the National Islamic Movement of Afghanistan, attended the meeting with the American delegation.

He also mentioned that senior advisors from the Global Peace Operations Initiative were part of the delegation, but he did not provide any details regarding the specific topics discussed during their meeting.

Reports suggested that the group had met with a Pak delegation, but Mr. Mohaqiq, in an interview with Voice of America, firmly denied any such meeting between the members of the High Council of Resistance® and the Pak delegation.
