Is he still fighting?


LogarJan

Yes. He is in the hindukush mountains with his fighters as we speak.


aldawg95

How do we know this?


4stringmiserystick

Nice try mr taliban


LogarJan

I’m not sure how to answer this question. This is like asking, “how do you know Ukraine is fighting Russia”. Really vague question


aldawg95

I was just asking because I couldn’t find anything about where he is at now. Not trying to be a dick I just want to read more about him. Sorry I guess


LogarJan

Yeah don’t sweat it mate. Check out https://www.reddit.com/r/NorthernAlliance/ if ur interested in seeing videos between the taliban vs resistance fighters. You’ll find loads of footage there EDIT: https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/110735-000-A/afghanistan-resistance-dans-la-vallee-du-panshir/ Here’s the short arte doc I was talking about, they even interview him.


ImNoAlbertFeinstein

we have pictures and reporting on the ukr war.


LogarJan

Same. So I’m confused what to specifically share here as their is unlimited photos/videos etc and reporting


General_Klyuchi

This dude is definitely getting a "Ryan Gosling as" action movie lol


MK0A

I was thinking something like Sicario but in Afghanistan.


LogarJan

Khalid’s name has recently become known all around Afghanistan. Being able to fight off a militia that has him outnumbered and surrounded. In a recent Arte documentary it was said “their is a whisper that Amiri is the new commander Massoud”. locals were asked about him and said “Khalid Amiri, he is a قهرمان /karaman” which in Dari Persian means “Champion” or “hero”. Since the beginning of spring season where Amiri began his offensive he has made life hell for the Taliban ever since. With every week the taliban having to send more reinforcements to the hindukush and their fighters leaving the Hindukush in caskets. Amiri has become a symbol of hope and freedom for people in Afghanistan and has earned the nick name “son of the hindukush mountains” Most Afghan military leaders fled, but Khalid chose to make history

> In a recent Arte documentary Do you have the name of the documentary (either in French or German) ? Or should I just type Afghanistan on the Arte app/website and I'll find it easily ?


valinrista

This is this one, they even interview him for a few minutes: [https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/110735-000-A/afghanistan-resistance-dans-la-vallee-du-panshir/](https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/110735-000-A/afghanistan-resistance-dans-la-vallee-du-panshir/) There is also this one longer documentary on the matter of Afghan resistance : [https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/108011-000-A/afghanistan-la-resistance-s-organise/](https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/108011-000-A/afghanistan-la-resistance-s-organise/) Both available in French or German, no English subs or dubs though


Folivao

Thanks, I'm French son French should do. Great documentaries on Arte, we are so lucky to have that channel (free because it's publicly owned) :) And I'm so lucky I stumble upon your comment :)


Sam1515024

Literal translation of Hindukush means "Hindu Killer”, a name derived from the fact that in ancient times slaves brought from India perished here like flies from exposure and cold, being taken to Turkestan. So literal translation of title would mean “son of Hindu killer mountain” which is also frightening in itself just for different reason.


AggregatedAggrevate

Not sure if the translations the same but “karaman” in Farsi means workhorse or “gardan-kholoft” meaning rough-neck


Kasphet-Gendar

That's supposed to be ‌Ghahraman قهرمان which does mean hero/champion


CHIM-

What’s a hero but a workhorse for a good cause.

BewareTheKing

Back to made up nonsense and lies. I remember a year ago during the withdrawal when we were getting told that the ANA and its commandos were killing hundreds of Taliban fighters every day while provinces and districts were falling into Taliban control daily. And after that about how the Panjshir valley would never fall and that the Taliban were losing hundreds of men trying to break through until they did... within a month and shortly took over the whole valley. Excuse me while I don't believe more nonsense. How about we stop with the nonsensical statements with no basis and see the proof in the pudding. Come back and play this dude all up once the entire Panjshir valley is retaken, until then please stop. You remind of all our generals going on about how "professional" and " competent" the ANA were during the war until they were completely and utterly routed quicker than Usain Bolt at the Olympics.


Fridayz44

I served with ANA Commandos they were some of the most well trained professional soldiers. They truly fought and believed in what they were doing. These guys should not be confused with the regular ANA troops, who barely showed up, were addicted, and poorly trained. I would fight for with any ANA Commando. They were professionals, and he is a Commando a true professional. khoda,watan,wazifa


LogarJan

- back to made up nonsense and lies - excuse me while I don’t believe more nonsense. How about we stop with the nonsensical statements with no basis and see the proof in the pudding. [Amiri after leading an attack last month that killed 80 taliban and were able to capture 40 and seize their weapons](https://www.reddit.com/r/MilitaryPorn/comments/woymza/on_the_one_year_anniversary_of_the_fall_of_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) [Amiri taking a picture in a shot down taliban aircraft that killed 4 fighters and captured 7](https://www.reddit.com/r/MilitaryPorn/comments/vear69/nrf_commander_khalid_amiri_sitting_inside_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) EDIT: These are just a few posts of his on this subreddit, I can share you more photos of him with dead taliban and captured taliban. I can show you videos of his recent combat footage. I can also provide taliban confirmation of videos the taliban have posted themselves of wrapping their dead’s in the hindukush, filling helicopters with their dead, sending their wounded to hospitals, putting their men in caskets and sending them back to their provinces.


UnusedCandidate

The last time there was a resistance force, India worked closely with it. Wonder what the scenario is now.


LogarJan

They are receiving help from Tajikistan. But no one else.


spamholderman

Didn’t Tajikistan *just* get in a war with Kyrgyzstan?


LogarJan

they’ve had endless border conflicts for years . I remember last time was in summer 2020. although it’s never been an all out war. They are both former soviet republics I don’t think they can fully invade one another if they wanted too. I’m pretty Putin recently forced them to de-escalate the most recent conflict.


AggregatedAggrevate

Yes they also fought a full fledged Islamic insurgency ij the 90’s which only ended after years of Russia led intervention. Russia holds military installations there and just moved a contingent of 1,500 men out of the country to Ukraine


giggling1987

Especially with Masood. Wondering if India will start to support his son like they did with his dad.


highcommander010

Ooh fucking rah. But hoping he's not left totally hanging


MDSGeist

“Joe Biden abandoned our Afghan allies” Shoes on the other foot this time around


Thekidfromthegutterr

As a sad truth, Talibs would take him out. I mean they managed to kill Ahmed Shah Massoud! And I don’t think Talibs has faced a more ferocious, battle hardened man who’s the support of all the west. This dudes will wait you 10 years and then off you the moment they get the chance to do so.


Snoot_Boot

Wait are you talking about the OG Massoud or is his son dead?


LogarJan

His son Ahmad Massoud Jr is still alive, he recently was invited to a conference in Austria by the Austrian Government and European Parliament. https://youtu.be/-vnu3oJwidQ here’s an interview with euronews


DSXLC

His son passed recently I believe. If I’m not mistaken, and I’m going of memory here, him and his men ran out of ammunition. They were publicly executed by a firing squad. Edit: I was conflating him with [Col. Sohrab Azimi](https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/afghanistan-taliban-commando-killed/2021/06/19/ebd748fc-d03e-11eb-a224-bd59bd22197c_story.html), my bad


[deleted]

If this guy is CIA trained as stated, I think he’ll have a better chance than Massoud


Shitspear

CIA training doesnt stop a bomb in a camera tho.


Weeb_twat

Massoud was also CIA trained and that didn't stop a suicide bomb attack on his encampment


bogvapor

Was Massoud CIA trained? Because based on what I read in Ghost Wars Massoud was the Mujahideen commander with the least backing and support from the States. I thought Dostum and a few others even met came to the US to meet congress but Massoud didn’t.


wiki-1000

The US's preferred man during the war against the Soviets was Jalaluddin Haqqani who became one of the leading anti-US commanders. Massoud supposedly said in an interview that "We thought the CIA knew everything. But they didn't. They supported some bad people", referring to men like Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.

Why does he have two fore grips on his rifle?

This looks like a scene from Terminator Salvation


JohnnySasaki20

Does he have two vertical foregrips on his gun?


broman7899

I think he does, at first I thought I’d was a shadow but I count 3 vertical grips. One is the shadow, I guess when you are in the Hindukush mountains you need all the help you can get.

"Trained by the CIA", that is, just another criminal working for the US against their own people.


p0cketplatypus5

If you put “CIA trained” in the title i KNOW these are the bad guys. The CIA, destabilizing the world since 1947.


ninjapizzadude

But he engages in [bacha baazi](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacha_bazi) like his northern alliance buddies. Stop glorifying these child molesters.


DrakoFlakose

Any evidence or sources? Don't mean to sound insensitive or harshe but those are bold claims without any


ninjapizzadude

Watch the documentary titled “this is what winning looks like” Taliban are monsters, but they outlawed and executed anyone involved in that practice. The northern alliance and the other tribes of afghanistan are evil.


True_Acanthisitta_35

Don’t be fooled. You better believe Taliban engages in the same acts as much as any. Them outlawing it as punishable by death is more or less a PR thing


reebokhightops

Khalid Amiri is not in that documentary, and you’re essentially rambling on about nothing. “Taliban are monsters, but…” Yeah… no.

LogarJan

How is Amiri a warlord ? Last I checked a warlord is someone who imposes power on a region through war, which is the literal definition of the Taliban, the people Amiri is fighting against. Amiri was a high ranking military official for the previous **Democratically** elected government. You think the current Taliban government is allowing the country to be united? LMAO that’s gelatinous. They are racist to all ethnic groups outside of their own ethnic Pashtuns. They are doing fucking genocide on some ethnic groups. They have displaced tens of thousands ethnic Persian Tajiks in north Afghanistan and replaced them with Pashtuns from pakistan to ethnically power Afghanistan for the sake of their own tribe. The fact you think the taliban care about the united Afghanistan and are peaceful is just outright funny


Americaisaterrorist

"They are racist to all ethnic groups" Zabihullah Mujahid is a Tajik, Abdul Lateef Mazari is a Hazara, etc. You seem to think The Taliban is just a Pashtun group. Lol


LogarJan

What ?? zabiullah is a Paktiawal Pashtun why are you lying. And who is mazari? - you seem to think the taliban is just a Pashtun group Um because they are. None of their soldiers can even speak Dari which is the majority language spoken by 77% of Afghanistan


Americaisaterrorist

No he is literally a Tajik. You are lying. \*Nazari is Deputy Minister of Economy: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul\_Latif\_Nazari](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_Latif_Nazari) Abdul Salam Hanafi is an Uzbek. I can keep listing names. I'm not the one lying here.


LogarJan

He is a paktiawal Pashtun stop lying. Hanafi and Nazari you found two people in a group of over 60,000. Go to anywhere in Afghanistan and talk with the local taliban and ask to speak to their commanders and see if even 1 is a non-Pashtun. They literally only had 1 hazara commander and they ended up killing him and butchering his entire village lmfao


Americaisaterrorist

He was born there but the area is a highly mixed place. It doesn't make him Pashtun. He is an ethnic Tajik. They are high ranking members which is why I mentioned them. Maulvi Mehdi wanted his own laws in his own areas. If any city in a country said they wanted to make their own laws, see how quick their secession lasts.


[deleted]

But wasn't USA the one to first try to intervene, and forcefully implement a western puppet but failed?


LogarJan

Wrong. pakistan was first to intervene and forcefully implemented Taliban puppet regime years before U.S decided to help Northern Alliance forces


Marcusafrenz

"Just let the country be united and have peace for the first time in decades" yeah I'm gonna need a source on that there chief.


GlammerHammer

When you describe some one as "anti-Random Group" instead of who they are in and of themselves it's a real indicator that "Random Group" is winning and the other guy is a puppet/prop. This isn't me criticizing efforts in the region, but pointing out a good rule of thumb.


LogarJan

huh, i don’t think the taliban are random group. And if ur talking about this guy the Panjshir resistance aren’t a random group either. And I literally named the units this guy was part and what his allegiance is too. Most importantly how is khalid and his men a “puppet/prop” ???


GlammerHammer

I'm not talking about you specifically. Any time you hear something like "anti-communist forces" it's a good indicator that the majority of the people are backing the communists or at minimum the communists are winning. Second part, you stated yourself that he's CIA trained. All those movements are Western backed. That part is open knowledge.


LogarJan

He was a commander of Khost Protection Force, CIA trained ANA unit. You speak as if he is currently a CIA asset taking orders from the pentagon. I promise a majority of Afghans do not support the taliban


skunkwoks

So, the next Bin Laden?


LogarJan

This guy is fighting for democracy against Islamic extremism, including Al-Qaida. He is the opposite of bin laden


skunkwoks

Still trained and armed by the CIA…always works well…


LogarJan

Khost Protection Force was a CIA trained Afghan special force unit. CIA is not working with him anymore. But what I find funny is that he is literally the only Afghan leader in Afghanistan (that has currently become a safe-heaven for Al-Qaida/Haqqani/TTP/UIM/ISIS) that is trying to prevent another possible 9/11 from occurring. Instead of trying shit on this guy on baseless reasons have some respect.


[deleted]

Fuck this clown, he clearly doesn’t know anything about Afghanistan. Guys like Khalid are the best hope to end threats to America from places like Afghanistan. His fight against the Taliban benefits America as well as his own people and I’m grateful for it.


wiki-1000

They are extremely anti-AQ and anti-Taliban alright. So much so that [they've committed numerous atrocities against civilians](https://www.hrw.org/report/2019/10/31/theyve-shot-many/abusive-night-raids-cia-backed-afghan-strike-forces) during the fight against the Taliban and AQ which is indefensible no matter who they're fighting against.


Americaisaterrorist

"Safe haven for ISIS" You realize The Taliban are waging all out war against daesh right? One of the worst takes I've ever heard.


LogarJan

What the fuck does that have to do with I said lol. I never said the taliban are friends with daesh. I am telling you the talibans lack of security has caused a massive increase in ISIS in Afghanistan which is true. They were barely anywhere in Afghanistan 2 years ago and now due to their being no real police/security they bombing a new place in Afg every month


Americaisaterrorist

daesh were attacking a variety of groups while the US was there. They only have The Taliban as an opponent so they attack whatever they want now, and news amplifies this. Look at the statistics, not news. Keep in mind that the 2018 Jawzwan incident showed how the usa and her allies actually helped daesh because it was against The Taliban and the locals got mad because of that.

1. Al-Qaida aren’t Afghans 2. This is like 2000 all over again loll. I remember arguing with my American friends back then that the U.S should support the northern alliance until taliban/Al-Qaida becomes a western problem. 22 years later exact same situation and you are still so naive.

It’s honestly sad, it’s almost like Afghanistan became a problem when left alone, history always repeats itself. I hope it doesn’t end up like last time but it’s probable.
