Saleh has 10,000 troops under his command, expelling the Taliban from the Charikar area

Afghan  Vice President Amrullah Saleh, following the escape of former leader Ashraf Ghani from the country, declared himself the new interim president and called on the people to join him in resisting the Taliban. The forces of Amrullah Saleh , the former vice president of Afghanistan, who had previously declared himself president of the republic, have regained control of the Charikar area in Panjshir province. Ten thousand soldiers, including the forces of General Abdul Rashid Dostum, are moving towards Panjsher in the war against the Taliban. A strategically important road passes through Charikar through the Salang Tunnel that connects Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif, the largest city in northern Afghanistan. By the way, the influential General Dostum crossed the border with Uzbekistan together with a number of soldiers.

در خاک خود. با مردم خود. برای یک داعیه و هدف واقعی.با اعتقاد راسخ به حقانیت. مقاومت در برابر سلطه ی ظلم منبع مشروعیت ماست.
