Resistance against the Taliban government in Afghanistan is gaining momentum. The National Mobilization Front of Afghanistan, composed of former Afghan military and intelligence officers loyal to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, has re-emerged after a long period of inactivity. The group, which had previously suspended its operations, is now fully organized.
In a recent meeting, the National Mobilization Front of Afghanistan’s leadership council announced new appointments. These appointments show that the organization is now active not only politically and in the media, but also in intelligence, military operations, and foreign relations. The new leadership includes experienced officers from the former Afghan National Army, the National Directorate of Security, and other security institutions, who have been working in exile, underground, or covertly since the Taliban came to power.
Leadership Appointments Signal Renewed Anti-Taliban Activity
Javed Ahmed Kargar, a former Afghan Army officer, was appointed Political Director. After the Taliban came to power, he led media campaigns against the Taliban. He currently resides in the Netherlands and will handle international political advocacy.
General Shams Wafadar, former commander of the 205th Army Corps from Balkh, now serves as Deputy Intelligence Chief. He previously held key positions in Kandahar and Helmand. After a period in the United States, he has moved to Tajikistan to strengthen intelligence networks.
Engineer Ahmad Soheil Parto, a former member of the General Directorate of National Security, was appointed Deputy Commander. He is currently in Iran and focuses on reporting protests, which may provide covert operational advantages for the National Mobilization Front of Afghanistan.
Engineer Abdullah Nawabzadeh, a former ambassador and head of the Refugees and Migrants General Council, leads Foreign Relations. He is also based in Iran and actively seeks international support.
Idris Sadiq, former garrison commander of Shahr-e-Kabul, is now the Central Commander in Afghanistan, leading covert operations inside the country.
Mahdi Panjshiri, a former National Directorate of Security officer, was appointed Commander for Kabul, coordinating operations from Tajikistan.
The National Mobilization Front of Afghanistan was founded by General Javed Dehsabzi, who remains its General Commander.
Renewed Operations Pose Growing Threat to Taliban
In recent years, the National Mobilization Front of Afghanistan has carried out multiple attacks targeting Taliban positions in Kapisa, Nangarhar, Kohistan, and northern regions. In 2024, the group launched a major operation in Lalpur, Nangarhar, near the Pakistan border, killing several Taliban and Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan members.
In June 2025, a youth group joined the National Mobilization Front of Afghanistan, which welcomed them and promised to supply military equipment.
These new appointments and renewed mobilization represent a serious challenge to the Taliban. With experienced former officers, the Front now operates as a structured military and intelligence network. Its members in Tajikistan, Iran, and Europe increase the organization’s capacity to secure external support.
If this trend continues, the Taliban’s grip in Afghanistan may weaken as guerrilla tactics and covert operations intensify.
