He stated that if the Taliban refrains from negotiation and the conflicts expand, the responsibility for the consequences will fall on this group. Dostum announced that a five-member delegation has been formed for talks with the Taliban, and its members have the authority to negotiate with this group, although he provided no explanation about the composition or further details of this delegation.


The National Movement leader also spoke about the status of the anti-Taliban fronts, saying these groups are currently operating more in the form of small units; but if the situation continues in this manner, their numbers will increase, and thousands of people may join them. He urged the Taliban to refrain from military campaigns in Badakhshan and Panjshir, to stop searching people's homes, and to cease the detention of citizens.


Dostum, criticizing the current situation in Afghanistan, said what he considers "oppression" cannot continue forever. He also pointed to the status of women in the country and the rising migration of people toward the borders, expressing concern over Afghanistan's social and political conditions.


In another part of his speech, the National Movement leader accused the Taliban of discriminatory behavior toward the Hazaras and said it is impossible to govern in a way where Hazaras are imprisoned and their schools remain closed. Overall, he stressed that the Taliban must accept negotiation; otherwise, with the expansion of war and the increase in the number of opponents, controlling the situation will become more difficult for everyone.



Abdul Rashid Dostum, leader of the National Movement, urged the Taliban to take the negotiation proposal seriously and warned that the continuation of the current situation could drag Afghanistan into a war that would be difficult to contain. Addressing the Taliban during the "Martyrs' Week" ceremony, he said, "Don't take our words as a joke," and also called on Hibatullah Akhundzada, the Taliban leader, not to allow the situation to spiral out of control. Dostum emphasized that the Taliban's opponents do not seek war or bloodshed, and the path to dialogue must remain open.
