Senator Lindsey Graham (RS.C.) is working behind the scenes to increase the visibility of the small anti-Taliban resistance organized by Afghanistan led by Amrullah Saleh and Ahmad Massoud, Politician reports.
Graham said Politician he wants to “get it all in” with Saleh, the former Afghan vice president who has declared himself the country’s legitimate president, and take out “the voice.” Some of his efforts include trying to connect Saleh and Massoud with high-ranking British and Indian diplomats, as well as reserving Saleh posts on high-profile news, such as Sean Hannity, which appeared last month. Representative Michael Waltz (R-Florida) joined forces with Graham, getting Massoud a spot on another Fox News program last week.
Resistance has fallen in recent weeks, and the Taliban have recently gained control of their stronghold, Panjshir province. In addition, Saleh has not had news in more than a week because communications have been disrupted, although Graham said he has no reason to believe he is dead or has fled the country (sources have confirmed that Massoud is still in Afghanistan).
Still, Graham believes it’s worth betting on long-term resistance and wants the Biden administration to give them humanitarian aid and some logistical support, such as satellite phones. “If you keep putting all your eggs in the Taliban basket, over time you are losing the game,” Graham said. Politician. “If you start helping different resistance groups, you will really have some influence with the Taliban.” Read more at Politician.
