In an announcement to Fox News Digital, the NFL’s head of foreign relations, Ali Maisam Nazary, stated the time for action is now.
“Our message to the Biden administration is not to make the same mistake the Clinton administration (made) when they ignored the threat of terrorism in the mid and late 1990s and led to 9/11. The White House has to act fast and adopt a proactive approach to counterterrorism by allowing democratic and anti-terrorist forces like the NRF to liberate Afghanistan,” he announced.
The alarm comes as the Taliban faces a new low-intensity campaign in the north from rebels, who have started attacks against its fighters in recent weeks.

Afghanistan’s fighting season is known to begin in the spring and generally run through October. In past years this was when the Taliban and its allies would wage attacks against U.S. forces and the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF).

The current fighting is largely happening in the nation's north. It is being led by the NRF in the nation’s Panjshir Valley, a rugged and mountainous bastion of anti-Taliban resistance north of Kabul, where the Taliban consolidated its control last September.
The NRF, led by Ahmad Massoud, is regarded as the most formidable Afghan resistance unit battling the Taliban. Its leader has pledged to continue the fight even after losing its rear base in the Panjshir Valley. Massoud’s father, Ahmad Shah Massoud, was a prominent Mujahidin rebel who fought against the Soviets in the 1980s and was assassinated by al Qaeda operatives only two days before 9/11.

The NRF has a vast knowledge of the rugged terrain in Afghanistan and, as the Taliban’s insurgency against U.S. forces, will use asymmetric tactics against the better equipped Taliban.
Even though overthrowing the Taliban is highly doubtful, especially without an external patron, that doesn’t mean the NRF won’t cause trouble for the Taliban. Sibghattullah Ahmadi, a spokesperson for the NRF, announced in a tweet earlier this month that the Taliban started an attack at the Shaba base and lost eight fighters to NRF forces.

“There has been an offensive by NRF in Panjshir, Baghlan, Takhar and Badakhshan provinces and even with reinforcements the Taliban faced causalities the NRF inflicted, including prominent commanders in the past 10 days and the fighting is still going on,” Nazary explained to Fox News Digital.
He went on, “This shows us their weaknesses, and their supposed strength from the leftover U.S. equipment was useless.”
