Afghanistan | The Taliban said they surrounded the Panchir fighters

During the night, unconfirmed reports reported clashes on the outskirts of the Panchir Valley, where Taliban-ruled regime vice-president Amrullah Saleh took refuge and declared resistance to the country’s new owners.

“Our fighters are near Panchir,” they surrounded, while Taliban spokesman Jabihullah Mujahid announced on Twitter that his regime was “trying to resolve the issue peacefully”.

On Sunday, Proteliban Twitter accounts announced that “hundreds” of their fighters were heading towards Panchir.

On social networks, pro-resistance accounts denied the Taliban’s progress, saying the latter abruptly stopped them.

These statements and information are difficult to ascertain independently, the area is landlocked and less accessible these days.

Panchir has long been known as an anti-Italian stronghold. Resistance has resumed in recent weeks as the Taliban seize control of the rest of the country around the National Resistance Front (FNR), led by Ahmed Masood, son of Commander Ahmed Shah Masood, and was killed by al-Qaeda in 2001.

The main entrance to the valley is the narrow George, which makes it very difficult for outside forces to attack with the kindness of fire from the surrounding high fighters.
