IN BRIEF
PERSPECTIVE
AFGHANISTAN: THE SECULAR RESISTANCE
Secular resistance groups, whose political views
do not closely correspond with the Kabul regime or
exile organizations in Peshawar, receive little or
no arms or money, are left out of major
decisionmaking, and often are forced to operate in
secret. Though members are relatively few,
secular groups could play an important role in the
resistance because some operate in Kabul and they
appeal to the Afghan educated elite.
