Clashes between Taliban militants and Afghan troops are taking place in Afghanistan's Panjshir province. Afghan Defense Minister Ahmad Masood has called on the West to provide weapons to Afghan troops. Ahmad Masood's statement was published by the Washington Post.
In an article, the Washington Post called Ahmad Shah Masood a brave hero and a true leader of the Afghan people.
"America is a great arsenal of democracy, we believe in America! We believe that the United States can help us even if we leave our country," Ahmad Shah Masood said. Today, under Ahmad Shah Masood, 10,000 troops are fighting for Afghanistan's independence.
Ahmad Shah Masood is urging his troops to fight for Afghanistan's independence until their last breath.
In his speech, Ahmad Shah Masood:
"No one can save our spirit. No one can harm our military spirit. We will liberate Afghanistan from the Taliban. We only need weapons. We need military bases."
Following the departure of President Ashraf Ghani, Afghan forces led by Ahmad Shah Masood have continued to fight in Afghanistan, refusing to recognize Taliban rule and surrendering.
