This footage, provided by a National Resistance Front media outlet, shows some of a recent guerrilla action carried out by NRF fighters, under the command of Hamid Saifi. NRF reports indicate one Taliban member killed, with three more wounded.

It is 2024, and the surreal nature of the world in which we find ourselves living includes the Taliban having to combat an insurgency. See: irony.

The National Resistance Front is made up of Afghan citizens who oppose Taliban rule- in large part, it is the remnants of the former Northern Alliance that fought during the GWOT. As such, the NRF is also known as the “Second Resistance.” Here, we see the NRF fighters using RPG and small arms fire against the Taliban in Parwan province, through the lens of what is likely a left-behind PVS-14 night vision.
