Amrullah Saleh, the First Vice President, said on November 10, that according to the National Directorate of Security (NDS), “the Taliban have decided to target civil society, it’s members and organizations in Afghanistan’s major cities, who are among the soft targets”. Saleh posted on his Facebook page that by doing so, the Taliban intend to increase the people’s dissatisfaction with the government by expressing public feelings and emotions. Saleh called on civil society to “unite their voices and call on the Taliban and its supporters that by maneuvering violence, ignorance, and assassinations, they cannot break the will of the people.” He added “It has failed in the past”.
