Ali Maysam Nazary, the head of foreign relations for the National Resistance Front (NRF), stated that the people of Afghanistan are closer to achieving political unity and consensus about the future of their country.

Speaking on the sidelines of the Vienna conference on Monday, Nazary called on the international community to "abandon the failed policy of appeasement" and support the Vienna conference. Meanwhile, Rangin Dadfar Spanta, former National Security Advisor of Afghanistan, described the Taliban as a "disaster" at the fourth Vienna Conference for a democratic Afghanistan.

Spanta urged opposition groups to unite to save Afghanistan from this "disaster”. Former Afghan Justice Minister Fazl Ahmad Manawi, speaking on the sidelines of the Vienna conference, told Afghanistan International that the diversity of Afghanistan is represented at this meeting.

Manawi added that the UN's unilateral engagement with the Taliban at the Doha meeting has increased people's concerns.
