Pinjsar Valley Ruler Amrullah Saleh has declared himself as the interim caretaker president of the country. He said that he is inside the country and will rule his nation according to the provisions of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.
Amrullah Saleh’s announcement means an open challenge to the Taliban rule in Afghanistan. The Panjshir Valley is a region in north-central Afghanistan, 150 kilometres (93 mi) north of Kabul, near the Hindu Kush mountain range. Amrullah Saleh has his own Army for the region. Saleh has said that under no circumstances he will bow down in front of Taliban.
His statement comes as President Ashraf Ghani left the country soon after the Taliban recaptured Afghanistan after 20-year of the long war against the US and the Afghan army.
