Taliban is all set to attack and capture Panjshir valley, one of the last hotbeds of opposition left against the insurgents in Afghanistan, a Twitter account archiving obstruction endeavors, Panjshir Province asserted on Sunday. It said a Panjshir commando soldier has claimed that they are prepared to retaliate incase of any attack ny the terrorists.
“Taliban on way to attack Panjshir Valley…Enroute said we have given them 4 hrs, if they dont relent we will Punish,” the account tweeted.
The Panjshir Valley north of Afghanistan’s capital Kabul is the last significant focus of protection from the Taliban, however experts say the contenders accumulated there will battle if the Islamist hardliners dispatch a full-scale attack.
Surrounded by the high peaks of the Hindu Kush north of Kabul, the Panjshir has since a long time ago had a standing as a stronghold of opposition — legendary military commandant Ahmad Shah Massoud effectively guarded it during the Soviet-Afghan War and the civil conflict with the Taliban up to his demise in 2001.
This moment, it is the lone region affirmed to be outside Taliban control after a lightning hostile saw the rest of the nation rapidly surrender.
Amrullah Saleh, hitherto the country’s VP and a critical powerbroker under the Western-supported administrations of the most recent twenty years, and Ahmad Massoud, the child of Ahmad Shah Massoud, have both taken shelter nearby and required an uprising against the Taliban.
“I write from the Panjshir Valley today, ready to follow in my father’s footsteps, with mujahideen fighters who are prepared to once again take on the Taliban,” Ahmad Massoud wrote in the Washington Post, approaching United States to arm his forces.
Saleh, who some time ago headed Afghanistan’s intelligence administration that worked closely with the West, said: “I will never be under one ceiling with the Taliban.”
