Afghanistan Freedom Front

The Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF) is an Afghan military organization composed largely of former members of Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF). It was founded in March 2022 by Yasin Zia, a former Chief of General Staff of the Afghan National Army, and seeks to overthrow Taliban rule in Afghanistan.

Alongside the National Resistance Front (NRF), the AFF is one of the two main factions involved in the republican insurgency in Afghanistan. The two groups have also cooperated in fighting Taliban-led Afghan armed forces. The AFF has reportedly tried to recruit and support pro-NRF fighters in different parts of country, putting in perspective the NRF and AFF's joint appeal being more popular among Tajiks, Hazaras, Uzbeks, anti-Taliban Pashtuns as well as pro-Jamiat e Islami groups.
