A fighter claiming to represent the anti-Taliban group Jamaat-Ur-Rabat has warned people across Afghanistan against supporting or cooperating with the Taliban, claiming that the group has members in every province and district of the country.
In a video statement, the veiled fighter urged Afghans to withdraw their support from Taliban fighters and avoid any form of cooperation with the Taliban administration.
He clarified that Jamaat-Ur-Rabat was not asking people to join its ranks but was instead calling on them to distance themselves from the Taliban to ensure their safety.
The speaker warned that members of Jamaat-Ur-Rabat would take what he described as concrete measures and action against those who continued supporting the Taliban, claiming the group had a presence across Afghanistan’s provinces and districts.
At the same time, he sought to present Jamaat-Ur-Rabat as advocating peace and brotherhood, saying the group conveyed a message of love, peace and solidarity to the Afghan population.
He also urged residents to continue their normal lives in their homes, villages and localities while refraining from supporting or assisting Taliban fighters.
The statement signals another public warning by an anti-Taliban armed group seeking to discourage popular cooperation with the Taliban, while invoking the threat of action against those who disregard its warning.
