Mods: Please merge the Panjshir Valley related threads? They are fairly similar, I think.

The Taliban should not accept negotiations. If all Taliban cities are obtained through negotiation, it will leave big trouble in the future. Moreover, this man used the resistance movement to obtain political capital, and the Taliban should to thoroughly Chase to the end, just like the Soviet Union chasing gorchak. Send him to court for trial and hang him. Otherwise, someone will imitatevt him later.

Even the Al Jazeera guy is puzzled by the demands made by the Panjshir resistance. He is wondering why such huge demands such as wanting ONE THIRD of the share of the central govt, while the resistance now has no big backing and are surrounded.
Massoud Jr. MUST pay the ultimate price for putting so many lives in danger for a futile cause! His death will close the option for future resistance based on the 'Massoud' name and for the potential for a 'govt in exile'.

Hanging him openly will only create further howls from his supporters both in the East and west. Remember that was what A.Saleh was banking on, would happen to A.Ghani.
I believe he should be disappeared, that way one can gleam as much intelligence from him as is possible while claiming at the same time that he must have escaped.

this battle will have to be concluded before the snows come, which might be in under a month, if the issue is to be resolved.

also, if you break down Soviet attempts to take this valley, it was a lot of poor planning and poor strategy, with advances in the valley floor. Assault over the mountains is probably the only way to go; probably with snipers and long range mortars. This is where those night vision googles, thermal scopes, and ATVs may come into play.

insertion of talib special forces by helicopter could sabotage key infrastructure and act as spotters for drone or A-29 strikes on opposition artillery and command posts, to allow a defeat in detail strategy.

reinforcing the other provinces and the borders/supply lines is also a must, as old allies of the Panjahiris may get ideas (rebellion) or get foreign funding.

Yup. Eliminate him in 'the fog of war'. Happens all the time in wars.

No Compromise. Taliban should just get rid of these people from Afghanistan. Afghanistan is is the land of the Pushtuns. Tajiks and Uzbeks should leave to their respective countries in Central Asia.

yeah, someone needs to be made an example for others.... right now all of Afghanistan except panjshir has fallen quite easily. Their loyalties are still to be tested!

And since he is so desperate for this war, it's only fair he reaps it's full rewards. I-e disappearing in the thick of it.

Pakistan should step in there and read them the riot act. Tell the rebels that the war is over, and if they don't disarm very bad things will happen to them. It is in Pakistan's interest to have total peace in afghanistan.

Yup! Ahmad Massoud Jr said something like 'I am the son of Ahmad Shah Massoud and surrender is not in my blood!' Give him his wish!

Just saw an interview of a Kabul University lecturer. A smart young man. Had and still had a lot of stake in the old order which just collapsed. Even he is seeing that eventually the civilians will suffer in Panjshir in this futile 'cause'.

We need to see Amrullah Saleh hang from a rope

That Modi can't be allowed to survive


For all that's been said about the ISI if they don't finish him then what's the point
