Afghan National Resistance

The Afghan National Resistance refers to various groups, often referred to as the Northern Alliance, that opposed the Taliban government in Afghanistan, especially during the late 1990s and after the U.S. invasion in 2001. These groups comprised ethnic minorities, including Tajiks, Uzbeks, and Hazaras, and aimed to establish a more democratic and inclusive government. Following the Taliban's resurgence in recent years, the resistance has continued to be a symbol of opposition against the Taliban's control, advocating for human rights, democracy, and stability in Afghanistan amidst ongoing conflict.
