After the fall of the impregnable Panjshir Valley which was the last province of resistance in Afghanistan, it has emerged that the Taliban managed to secure victory only after Pakistani Air Force drones helped bomb targets using smart bombs according to former Samangan MP Zia Arianjad. 

On Sunday night, Fahim Dashty, the spokesperson of Ahmad Massoud was killed during fighting with the Taliban in Panjshir along with General Sahib Abdul Wadood Zhor, nephew of Ahmad Shah Massoud and a former prominent Mujahideen commander, was also killed in the battle, Asvaka News Agency reported. 

The Facebook page of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan also put out a statement saying, ” With deep touch and regret, we lost two dear brothers and colleagues and fighters today. Fahim Dashty, the head of the office of Amir Saheb Ahmad Masoud, and General Sahib Abdul Wadood Zhor, the nephew of the national hero of Afghanistan in the battle against the fascist group. Congratulations on your martyrdom!”

Resistance forces in the Panjshir valley had called for a ceasefire after they suffered heavy losses in the battle and had proposed the Taliban withdraw from Panjshir, and in return it will refrain from military action.

After taking control of Kabul without firing a bullet which led to the end of democracy in Afghanistan, the Taliban has now set its sights on the fabled and impregnable Panjshir Valley as hundreds of Taliban mujahideen’s are heading over there to stomp out the last resistance, reports Hindustan Times.

Even though the head of the National Resistance Front Ahmad Massoud said that he wanted to hold negotiations with the Taliban but that his forces are also ready to fight.

Massoud is the son of legendary fighter Ahmad Shah Massoud, who led the war effort against the Soviet Union throughout the 1980s, and later fought the Taliban and ensured Panjshir Valley could be part of this tyrannical regime.

Massoud who has united hands with President Amrullah Saleh, “We want to make the Taliban realise that the only way forward is through negotiation. We do not want a war to break out.”

Massoud along with Saleh managed to gather forces made up of regular army units and special forces as well as local militia fighters who are willing to fight to the bitter end and as Massoud said, “They want to defend, they want to fight, they want to resist against any totalitarian regime.”

President Amrullah Saleh in a tweet said, Talibs have massed forces near the entrance of Panjshir a day after they got trapped in ambush zones of neighboring Andarab valley & hardly went out in one piece. Meanwhile Salang highway is closed by the forces of the Resistance. “There are terrains to be avoided”. See you,”.
