Unity for Freedom and Justice: In Support of the Pashtun National Jirga

Afghanistan United Front (AUF) commends the recent calls for freedom and justice made by the Pashtun National Jirga, led by the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) in Khyber District, Pakistan.

We believe that people everywhere, in every corner of the world, deserve to live free from discrimination imposed by authoritarian regimes, have the right to determine their own destiny, and enjoy equal opportunities. The people of Pashtunistan, like all others, deserve a better, more just life.

Afghanistan, too, has long suffered under the grip of extremism, particularly under Taliban oppression. As emphasized during the final day of the Jirga, the people have endured enough from extremist and radical groups, and we fully support the call that extremism has no place in the region.

We also commend Manzoor Pashteen, leader of the PTM, for his courageous and principled leadership. His unwavering commitment to democratic values, justice, and stability is an inspiration to all who strive for freedom. We stand in solidarity with him and his movement as they work towards a more just and equitable future for their people.

Unity in the fight for freedom, against extremism, and for justice is essential in a region plagued by suffering and suppression.

Afghanistan United Front welcomes any movement and call for freedom, whether for the people of Afghanistan or the broader region, in the pursuit of peace and stability.
