As soon as they deal with the Tajiks, they will put a sword to the throat of the Uzbeks

The Afghan National Movement Party - Junbishi Milli, led by Marshal Dostum, condemned the war crimes of the Taliban in Panjshir and Andarab and announced the possibility of the party entering the war with the Taliban. The party said in a statement that the repressive behavior of the Taliban has destroyed the prospect of reaching a national consensus through dialogue and is forcing it to solve problems through war. This is good news for the Resistance Front and the anti-Taliban forces in the north.
Given Marshal Dostum's long history in war and opposition to the Taliban, he cannot fit into the Taliban. But Turkey, with its connections with the Taliban and influence on Marshal and Junbish, tried to prevent Marshal Dostum from entering the war with the Taliban and wait for the outcome of negotiations between the Taliban and Turkey.
The recent position of the National Movement Party shows that:
1 - Either the hope of achieving a result from the negotiations between the Taliban and Turkey has disappeared and Turkey is convinced that the best option is to fight the Taliban;
2 - Or Marshal Dostum came to the conclusion that the continued subjugation of Turkey poses a serious threat to the position and influence of the Uzbeks in Afghanistan;
3 - Or Marshal Dostum and the Junbish party are trying to put pressure on the Taliban and score points against this group, stating the likelihood of entering the war.
In my opinion, the third argument is the weakest, and the first is the strongest.
Marshal Dostum and the Uzbeks of Afghanistan must know that the only way to a better future is to fight the Taliban and liberate the northern territories from the savage Taliban forces. Forces that do not adhere to any religion and pose a serious threat to the existence of all.
Now is the best time. The Taliban have concentrated all their forces in Panjshir, Andarab, and Takhar, and in the Faryab and Juzjan regions, the group does not have enough forces for war. Therefore, Marshal Dostum can easily and quickly free his spheres of influence from the Taliban. This will reduce the pressure of the war on the resistance in Panjshir, Baghlan, and Takhar, while at the same time demonstrating the strategic unity of the Tajiks and Uzbeks against the Taliban army.
Experience has shown that the unity of the forces of the North is the key to success for all. If they wait for negotiations with the Taliban, who have many consultants, they will keep the Uzbeks in the waiting room for a long time until they deal with the Tajiks, and if they can, they will kick them out of the waiting room and put a sword to their throats.
