"Resistance 2.0." - Battle for Panjshir begins - Taliban claims victory

[Mr.Green]

Per this video (in Urdu, presumably from a Pakistani), here is what I understand. Panjshir Valley is surrounded and food, internet etc are blocked. Taliban control all the access points. Taliban are thinking of even bringing air assets. The Panjhsir Resistance (National Resistance Front, NFR) is trying to duplicate the old proven tactic of drawing Taliban into the valleys and then mowing them down from the mountains. Talibans are about 30 km from the capital Bazjrang. The NFR is getting support from Tajikistan through air routes. Taliban were estimating a week but now thing 2-3 days before the valley is taken. When the capital falls then A. Saleh and Ahmad Masood likely to fly to Tajikistan [they should not be allowed to escape!]
This video appears to be more credible than other sources.

This is an important video. the Taliban might get trapped. They need to be careful and also secure the mountains to prevent ambushes.

Taliban will certainly capture this province. What will be interesting is if they arrest Amrullah Saleh and any members of the previous government there.

NA armed with Soviet Junk.

After 2 decades of fighting NATO, these Panjshir security guards are no match for Taliban.

This whole myth of invincibility of panjshir n late Ahmad shah masud is nothing but a smoke screen n a pack of lies.
The only reason why panjshir was never conquered by the Soviets is that ahmad shah masud was playing both sides n had a tacit under standing with the Soviets, that's the reason why the Soviets during all their time in afg never even launched one meaningful operation to capture panjshir.
The main reason for the distrust between the mujahedeen n ahmad shah masood was this very reason.
Salang tunnel the main artry of soviet supply remained open throughout the Soviets occupation of afg and other than a few token operations ahmad shah masud did not do any thing to disrupt the Soviets.

So my brothers their is more to wt meets the eye.

The closest Hollywood analogy to the Taliban is John Mclane - they just Yippee ka yay their way into everything.

Honestly they literally took all of Afghanistan by the same " Yipee Ka yay " attitude... I fear that the more Casualties Taliban will endure in Panjshir the more their fighters will be hard to restrain themselves on going on killing spree once the Province falls to Taliban, it will be a blood bath unless Saleh surrender.

Whatever happen, Peace may prevail in Afghanistan.
Saleh and other trouble makers should flee or tried by Taliban no one cares. But Ahmad Masood should not go down like this. I mean anyone who have studied soviet afghan war would have a special place for his father. He was a brilliant Afghan commander whose legacy should become part of Afghan Nationalism. If his son goes down like this fighting against the most probable future government of Afghanistan, Then even his father work will be discredited for sure.
Nation Building is not just weapons armies and economy.
Archive of Legacy of Iconic people of the previous generations is the foundation for any nation.
Anyways he should take some sense and become part of the new government.
No Idea what are these panjshiris counting on.
Good or Bad IEA is a ground reality

According to Sputnik, Massoud said if the Taliban forms an inclusive government and guarantees equal rights to all Afghans, he will give up resistance in Panjshir.

The 32-year-old son of late Ahmad Shah Massoud has pledged to hold out against the Taliban from his stronghold in the Panjshir valley. The region is known for its natural defenses and was also held out against the Taliban when they ruled Afghanistan in 1996-2001.

In a recent Washington Post editorial, Ahmad Massoud said members of the Afghan military including some from the elite Special Forces units had rallied to his cause and he had appealed to some countries for help.

Several countries have been cautiously optimistic about the new leadership in Kabul and are seeking contact with the militants in an effort to avoid instability spilling over to neighboring ex-Soviet states.

The US messy withdrawal put an end to a futile two-decade-long war the United States waged in Afghanistan.

For now, the Taliban have vowed to respect the rights of women, seek good relations with other countries, and not to exact retribution on former members of the Afghan military. Many Afghans remain skeptical, however.

Massoud announces conditions for ending anti-Taliban resist.

TEHRAN, Sep. 02 (MNA) – Ahmad Massoud has announced his conditions for stopping the fight with the Taliban in Panjshir.

Parian, shotul and some other districts are gone and everything is now in the middle and key Cities..

The Taliban were smart they did the same turkish cresent tactics the importance was first in taking mountain hill tops and outer flanks which is where the battle has focussed on rather than going in directly.. Which has put the rebels into melt because their entire tactics were out done and now TB will approach the cities..
