Meanwhile, Sputnik reported that Ahmad Massoud, the commander of the resistance forces in Afghanistan's northeastern province of Panjshir, said the resistance forces are ready to stop fighting and begin discussions provided the Taliban leave the region. The Panjshir Valley is located around 90 miles north of Kabul in the Hindu Kush mountains. The Taliban were unable to take this major resistance stronghold despite steamrolling through pro-government soldiers in a matter of months. On Friday night, the fighting over Panjshir province began.
Meanwhile, the Taliban said Monday that they had conquered Afghanistan's final pocket of resistance, the Panjshir Valley, as the senior US ambassador flew to Qatar to deal with the fallout from the chaotic American pullout. Soon after, the National Resistance Front (NRF), a coalition of anti-Taliban militias and former Afghan security personnel, declared that the struggle against the Taliban in Panjshir Valley "would continue." Following their lightning-fast destruction of Afghanistan's army last month – and the jubilation when the final US troops flew out after 20 years of war – the Taliban shifted their attention to crushing the forces defending the steep Panjshir Valley.
