Earlier this week, the United Nations convened an international aid conference in Geneva to help shore up much-needed humanitarian support for #Afghanistan. On Tuesday, Amir Khan Muttaqi, acting foreign minister of the #Taliban interim government, held a briefing. He called on the international community to hear the the voices of Afghans who suffered during the war and called for support in carrying out projects disrupted by the war. Although the Taliban say Panjshir Valley is now under their control, the resistance forces recently released a photograph of Northern Alliance leader Ahmad Massoud from Panjshir Valley. He called on the Western countries to support anti-Taliban forces in an audio message. CGTN got a chance to talk exclusively with Ahmad Wali Massoud, brother of the late elder Panjshir resistance leader, Ahmad Shah Massoud. Wali Massoud served as the former Afghan ambassador to the United Kingdom and chairs the Massoud Foundation. He told Tian Wei that his nephew is safe and rejected reports of intensive fighting in the Panjshir Valley. Despite the roads being blocked in the mountainous area, resistance fighters are not giving up.
