After Kabul came under the Taliban’s control, Afghan soldiers, who had managed to flee from militants, are now coming to Panjshir region in the northeastern part of the country. The flag of the ‘Northern Alliance’ was raised in Panjshir valley.
According to the reports, the forces of Vice President Amrullah Saleh have recaptured the Charikar district in Parwan province, north of Kabul, from the Taliban.
“The fighting is now going on in the Panjshir area,” the source said.
10 000 troops under the command of General Abdul-Rashid Dostum are currently being sent to the region.

Earlier, the Vice-President of Afghanistan, Amrullah Saleh, declared himself the legitimate head of Afghanistan, after the former president Ghani left the country.
Saleh claimed that according to the Constitution of Afghanistan, in the absence of the president, the vice president becomes the acting head of the state.
Clarity: As per d constitution of Afg, in absence, escape, resignation or death of the President the FVP becomes the caretaker President. I am currently inside my country & am the legitimate care taker President. Am reaching out to all leaders to secure their support & consensus.

In Pajshir, Saleh is supported by the son of Ahmad Shah Massoud, who is gathering field commanders who do not agree with the rule of the Taliban. He calls on the Afghans to come and support the resistance.
Meanwhile, the region is surrounded by the Taliban. Some units of the Taliban were reportedly dispatched to the region.
What a joke.
And so it goes on,no doubt the US will arm those people,Dustom is a thug who helped the Americans before.
Ahhh, so that is why the US and UK spent the last few days flying out 1000’s of young men to military bases – saving them for the new “rebel” army to fight as proxies.
If they pull that shit again (like they did in Syria) we will see China formally invited in to Afghanistan by the new Government in Kabul. China will then get a turn in testing out all thier equipment in combat conditons like Russia did in Syria.
Perhaps we will get to see a few nice Chinese toys tested, and see how Chinese troops perform in combat.
Remember – China shares a border with Afghanistan so its not as though they have to travel around the World with over stretched supply lines like NATO. Heck, we may even see Chinese airforce bases being set up.
This new “rebel” army could end up being another shot in the foot by the Americans.
I expect to see the British “recognise” this guy and then send some aid in the form of Go-Pro action cameras, overalls, and helmets (white of course), along with masks (come on – got to keep the narritive going) and booklets explaining how to make a fake chemical attack video, and how to write propaganda stories of babys being thrown from incubators and reporters being decapitated.
The Americans will also embed a CNN crew 24/7 with the “freedom fighters” who will be filmed clearing up the damage from “barrel bombs” and Taliban head chopping raids.
I grow tired of this shit.
Precisely why the “International Community” threatened Taliban not to attack Kabul and slaughter puppets. This is what they had in mind all along. White man speak with forked tongue. Slughter these p1gs and then ejct US from Iraq and Syria – Enough European colonial terror in West Asia
True 100%. Even Russians might step in to ensure NO US proxies remain in the region
ex-vice-presidente Amrullah Saleh se declara presidente interino do Afeganistão e promete resistir ao Talibã. Espero que o Talibã capture Amrullah Saleh e o prenda.
Looks like someone wants to die a hero.
Another US stooge that will end up being flown out fast to let the stup!d soldiers die that followed him. He will be set up by the US to form a government in exile so the US will steal Afghanistan money they hold to pay him to do nothing except to look the fool!
Hopefully not. Better he shares the fate of the Wine drinking Ahmad Shah Massoud and get blown to bits by a Suicide bomber
Russia and China support the Taliban, but the Taliban can make a deal with China on political, economic and military matters, and perhaps the Taliban can allow China to install military bases in Afghanistan, as Russia did in Syria, the Chinese presence in the region may favor its one belt & one road geopolitics. because in my opinion, the US will no longer intervene directly in Afghanistan on the military issue, but perhaps can intervene indirectly on the political issue with the so-called “new resistance” of the new north alliance as occurred in the 1980s, and therefore another civil war it had emerged in Afghanistan. As in Syria’s civil war, the US supported and financed the HTS rebel group from 2012-2017.
True – Their embassies NEVER closed. Russian ambassador requested Taliban to tour Kabul with them. Chinese Embassies are all protected by talibs. Only US embassy is closed and “relocated” to airport LoL
I can already see Saleh’s future:
Hanging from the ceiling by the neck in his ‘palace’.
This is a dead man walking, mark my words.
Is it just me or does this guy have the classic smashable cunt-face?
Talibs will take care of them in a week.
Nice of Saleh to gather up all the malcontents in one small area so they can be wiped out in one campaign.
Real ‘civilised’ of them…
Either way, nobody has ever had success from playing along with the U.S.
The only way out is to be really smart about wiping the N.A out, seeking technical help from Russia and China and making use of the most advanced strategies that they can muster.
Never go full retard…
Resistance? What resistance – they ran away like cowardly US Dogs. No more nicey nicey with them. Wipe them out completely. Precisely why Taliban should NOT have negotiated with Puppet regime
‘Control’ in a very loose sense. I don’t think the US Marines feel very much in control of that airport, it looks like a scene from World War Z.
I think the Taliban are taking this opportunity to figure out exactly who is with them and who is not, judging by the way they’re checking peoples papers at the door …
Back to 1990’s status quo. Northern Alliance localized warlords dominant in far north Afghan provinces and Taliban localized warlords dominant across rest of Afghan provinces. US has effectively hit the 1990’s rinse and repeat button.
ahah saleh et massoud = bla bla obama! her wrote in next to border tadjikistan ;)
You’re mother’s been occupied by the whole town already. The next village too.
Ding dong!! Round number 2…Taliban 1 Gov 0
The taking of Charikar Is fake news. The talibans has blocked all the ways in AND out of panjshir province.
