Taliban Fighters Advance Deep In Panjshir Amid Reports Of Resistance Collapse (Videos, Photos)

File image.

On September 3, the Taliban advanced deep in the northeastern Afghan province of Panjshir, the stronghold of a large resistance force led by Ahmad Massoud Jr.

Sources affiliated with the Taliban claimed that the group’s fighters had imposed control of the districts of Shutal and Paryan. However, other Afghan sources went as far as claiming that the enter province has fallen into the hand of the Taliban.

Amrullah Saleh, former Afghan Vice President and one of the top leaders of the Panjshir resistance, denied reports claiming that he fled Afghanistan. In a message to the BBC, the leader acknowledged that the situation in the province is difficult.

According to resistance forces, as much as 300 fighters of the Taliban have been killed since the group launched its attack on Panjshir on September 2.

A few hours after launching the attack, Zabihullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the Taliban, claimed that 11 “important” positions along the main road leading to the eastern province of Badakhshan had been captured.

The Taliban negotiated with the leaders of resistance forces in Panjshir for nearly two weeks. However, the two sides failed to reach an agreement.

The ongoing offensive on Panjshir is meant to subdue resistance forces and force their leaders to accept the rule of the Taliban. The group will not likely announce its “government” before solving the crisis in Panjshir.

Hasn’t fallen yet but important positions have been taken by the Taliban and some of the militias have surrendered.

I discount this talk of Saleh and Massoud Jr fleeing. How can they flee? Panjshir is deep inside Afghanistan and surrounded by Taliban controlled territory.

The Soviets never established lasting control over Panjshir but entered and left Panjshir at will. The rest is just a myth

It is a valley pass. That is reason it could hold out for a few extra weeks. But once the high ground positions on each side of valley fall it’s all over. Ultimately, the Taliban will be able to bring more manpower and larger caliber weapons to this fight. And the Taliban will not leave this alone. They learnt their lesson the hard way in 2001. When the remaining Northern Alliance controlled pocket was used as the initial US entry point for invasion. To leave this alone now would be to leave themselves with exactly the same exposure. Meaning, an area always ripe for foreign intelligence services to intervene and create a thorn in their side. Safe to say, it’s a strategic imperative for Taliban, and they’ll take as many losses as they need to secure province.
