VIENNA: Afghan insurgent group leader Ahmad Massoud on Friday (Saturday in Manila) urged the diaspora to unite to find a 'political' solution to end Taliban rule, describing his appeal as the beginning of a 'new phase.'

Massoud, who heads the National Resistance Front (NRF), an armed group waging an insurgency in Afghanistan's northern Panjshir Valley, said it was time to try to bring the Taliban back to the negotiating table.
