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

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.

LMAO is this the only demand ? Talibans have been saying about an inclusive govt from day first so whats the bottleneck ? more representation ? I believe, he wants a face saving exit from the inevitable take over
 
Bro, I appreciate your efforts to collate all these tweets together to make your case. However, as some see the situation is still fluid and moving both ways at the moment. I would appreciate it if there are any official links as well. Thanks

These are with videos from Pro-TB sources from the frontline directly..
 
Panjshir resistance can hold for a while but they cannot change status quo in Kabul. Taliban will lose a lot of men and material if they forcefully enter Panjshir. Both sides should sit together to avoid the bloodshed.
 
who told you that ?
The valley has a narrow entry with resistance holding the vantage points which makes it difficult for invading party to capture place. Russian tried everything with their helicopters and artillery yet failed to capture it. This won't be a walk in the park for Taliban.
 
p.s. they have all the time in the world to break in slowly and at will...they will force the massoud group to come out from their hiding den. talibans are in no hurry. They have turned out to be master strategists lately.

Talibans knows this. That is why they have surrounded the valley from all directions and one by one they are taking up Masood group's check points. You are underestimating Talibans fighting skills where as over estimating Masood grp credentials.

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.



He is playing games on behalf of few other nations whose back sides are on fire. Setting up conditions which doomed to fail. First he was asking post of foreign minister and 6 governors seats and now this. Time have moved on its not 1990's instead of thinking for his country he is still playing the spoilers game. Taliban should take the area by force and don't let any one to escape and put an end to this fitna once for all so Afghanistan can move forward as one nation and peace prevails.

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.

Nations are forged after wars which settle festering disputes between various factions inside the borders, followed by peace. That happened in the America after the Civil War, for example.

Ahmad Shah Massoud HAD to be made a hero because every country which starts after a war--such as after the toppling of Taliban--need heroes. And so we see his pics. Maybe he earned it to an extent. But giving the same value to his Pappu Son at the expense of Massoud senior's brothers is unfair. Massoud Jr. explicitly asked for foreign help--something not new to Afghan 'leaders' if you go to the mid 1970s onwards--and that shows the caliber of the leader he is. He has, in fact, risked the lives of tens of thousands of people in a future war! He should be eliminated to prevent a futile resistance.

But a big news is that Pentagon looks it's 'possible' to work with the Taliban against 'terrorism'. Shows you where the American direction is likely to be...
