He is the former intelligence chief, people say that he has "nine lives", he is the most valued left arm of the legendary Afghan hero Masood, he is also 300,000 government troops unloaded, none of them are the only men who stepped forward as a boy and vowed to fight the Taliban in the end and never surrender, he is Amrula Saleh, who "self-styled" as the president of Afghanistan, so what kind of courage does he dare to confront the Taliban who has almost won?
Saleh
Born in October 1972 to a poor Tajik family in the Panjshir region, Saleh was the first to bear the brunt of the Soviet Invasion at the age of 7, in the Panjhir region of northeastern Afghanistan, and after spending his turbulent teenage years in the war, he joined the anti-Soviet guerrillas led by Masood, known as the "Panjhir Lion".
For 10 years, from 1979 to 1989, Massoud had a firm grip on the 70-mile-long Panjshir Gorge, and under Masood's leadership, all the encirclements and suppressions of the Soviet army were fruitless, earning him the reputation of panjhir lion, and Saleh, who was highly skilled, made General Masood admire.
Massoud
After the withdrawal of the Soviet Union, Afghanistan entered a period of hegemony, and then Massoud directly sent him to Pakistan to study military affairs, hoping that he could become the backbone of the post-war construction of Afghanistan, just when Saleh's career was in a good situation, the situation developed again, in 1996 the Taliban occupied Kabul, and put the number two person Saleh on the hunting list, in order to force his whereabouts, the Taliban tortured Saleh's sister, and finally tortured her to death. Later, in an interview with Times, Saleh said: "The death of my sister made me change my view of the Taliban."
At that time, the anti-Soviet struggle of the Afghans was supported by the United States, and many hills were linked to the United States. In 1999, Saleh was sent to the United States by Massoud to participate in the CIA's Seed Intelligence Officer Program, which exposed him to systematic military intelligence training, and then worked in Tajikistan as a Northern Alliance Liaison Officer, responsible for intelligence gathering and external relations, which laid the foundation for his future position as Afghan intelligence.
In 2001 by the united states 911 incident, the United States quickly launched a new round of war in Afghanistan, the superiority of the U.S. military quickly defeated the Taliban, during which Saleh with a high level of English and rich combat experience, became the main military leader and intelligence chief of the Northern Alliance, I have to say that Saleh really has a hand in intelligence, received many keys, it is also under the intelligence he provided, the Northern Alliance has achieved many victories in the operation against the Taliban, the United States high-level is also at this time, Again, he noticed the student who had studied intelligence in the United States, so after the formation of the new Afghan government, he rose directly into the leadership.
Saleh, 32, was appointed head of the Afghan National Security Agency, and during his tenure the Afghan National Security Agency successfully infiltrated Taliban and al-Qaida networks and gained vast amounts of intelligence. Since then, Saleh has led the writing of "The Strategy of Afghan Rebels and Terrorists", which has become an important guide for Afghanistan to fight the Taliban, and the young director may not have dreamed that in a dozen years, he would personally lead his troops to fight against the Taliban, and Saleh, who has been fighting with the Taliban for decades, is said to be the most knowledgeable Taliban official in the upper echelons of the Afghan government.
When he was young, He was surrounded by Massoud, coupled with hatred between public and private sides, making Saleh a staunch anti-Talian fighter, who gritted his teeth when he mentioned the Taliban, due to the huge differences between him and other high-level officials because of the attitude towards the Taliban, Saleh was forced to resign in 2010, and after leaving office, he immediately launched the anti-Taliban movement, becoming the most outspoken critic of the Taliban, and soon after 2020 Gani continued to serve as the president of Afghanistan, he saw that Saleh was a very good sword.
Ghani wanted to perform a double reed with the personality vice president, hoping to use it to hold all the forces in check, he high-profile opposition to the United States negotiations with the Taliban, and predicted that after the United States would lead to its withdrawal, the Taliban quickly seized control of Afghanistan, but did not expect the prediction to come true.
Saleh, who is at odds with the Taliban, has been targeted for assassinations on many occasions. On 28 July 2019, three Assassins broke into Saleh's office, a suicide bomber detonated himself, injuring 50 people, and on 9 May 2020 Saleh was bombed and injured on the streets of Kabul, surviving multiple assassinations, allowing Saleh's nine-life nickname to spread.
Saleh is very clear in his heart, on the surface, the current Afghan government is collapsed, but from the actual situation, the Taliban's smooth seizure of power is actually a "fast" victory, because their sudden flash, only to kill everyone caught off guard.
Looking at the map, the Taliban did control all of Afghanistan, only 85% of the cattle than in 1996, which created an illusion that everyone thought that the Taliban had taken the whole of Afghanistan, at which point Saleh chose to stay, and posted on social media in English, vowing to fight the Taliban to the end and not surrender at any time.
As An old subordinate of Massoud, Saleh was deeply influenced by his religious values and regarded the Taliban as an enemy, and his statement was enough for the Taliban to be uncomfortable for a while, because the 49-year-old vice president was not just talking about it, but also already in action.
Throughout the ages, all rebellions have been more legitimate and legitimate than well-known. With Ghani's escape, Saleh naturally took over the presidency of Afghanistan, and Saleh wanted more than just to be a local emperor in a remote corner, he wanted the life of the Taliban, and this battle was destined to be a death battle. Therefore, people and horses are indispensable, and his ambitions seem to have been given special favor by God, and The son of the Afghan spiritual leader, Xiao Ma Sud, contacted him for the first time, and quickly flew from Kabul to Panjhir to Join the anti-Tajik forces such as Saleh and began to fight side by side, and the addition of Xiao Ma Sud successfully revived this team that was not favored by the outside world, and with the prestige of his father, they successfully led a powerful Tajik army in the north.
Saleh and Minor Sood are both Tajiks, and the Taliban are basically Pashtuns, the two major Afghans have a historical feud, in addition to the Uzbek leader Dutham also announced that he would join Saleh's anti-Taliban alliance and local armed forces to fight against the Taliban, they also gave themselves a new name: Panjshir Resistance Force, in addition to more than 10,000 government troops who did not want to submit to the Taliban also came to Panjshir to join Saleh.
Now that Saleh has 20,000 or 30,000 horses, the Tajiks, who are originally related to the United States, will certainly receive more international support.
Saleh, who has territory and tribal support, has the strength to fight with the Taliban, if the peace in Afghanistan is far away, some people say that since the Taliban has seized power, everyone should pursue peace, do not want to lose their lives, then when the Afghan government is there, why does the Taliban not pursue peace, so life is ruined, whether successful or not he at least sends a voice to the world, not all Afghans are subservient to the Taliban.
