Marshal Dostum: The Taliban regime is not sustainable and will eventually fall

He made these remarks on Thursday at a ceremony marking the anniversary of Mustafa Kazemi’s death, saying that the people of Afghanistan will not forget those who lost their lives in the struggle for the country’s freedom.


At the gathering, Dostum, referring to the situation of Afghanistan’s younger generation, said that the country’s young people are becoming more aware and better educated every day. Referring to the Taliban government’s future, he said: “I don’t know what to call this Taliban system—a regime, an emirate… This won’t last either; this too will pass.”


The leader of Afghanistan’s National Movement Party has also repeatedly criticized the Taliban’s policies and actions in recent months. On September 13, he warned that if the Taliban refused to negotiate, a war would begin that would be difficult to contain. On September 8, Dostum also condemned the closure of the Khatam al-Nabieen religious school in Kabul, saying the Taliban would go down in history as disgraced for this action.


Last month, he also called on the international community to increase political and economic pressure on the Taliban and stop providing direct aid to the group. These statements come as Dostum remains a prominent figure opposed to the Taliban and continues to emphasize the need for a change in Afghanistan’s political situation.


Mustafa Kazemi, a former member of Afghanistan’s parliament, was killed in a suicide attack on October 6, 2007, while visiting a sugar factory in Baghlan province. Several members of parliament and dozens of schoolchildren also died in the attack.



Marshall Abdul Rashid Dostum, leader of Afghanistan’s National Movement Party, says the Taliban regime will not last and will eventually be ousted from power.
