Ahmed Shah Massoud should settle this matter with negotiations. This is not the way forward.

His twitter account should be flooded with suggestions of peace and stopping resistance.

I don't understand why the NA would start a war they had no chance of winning. What were they hoping for? US air support?

His Twitter account **should** be but is probably is flooded with those hundreds of thousands of fake Indian Twitterati egging him to go on fighting. Indians had decided to fight Pakistan to the last Afghan in the last 20 years.

Panjshir Valley may have faced off the Russians in the 1980s but the Mujahideen had American support and I suspect the Stingers which held the Soviets back. The role of the Stinger Missiles as perhaps a deciding factor was mentioned by Gen. Tariq Khan in his interview posted on this forum some weeks ago. As for the Panjshir Valley hold off the Taliban in the 1990s, one needs to understand that the Taliban were not as equipped and as battle hardened as now and the Panjshir valley is not being externally supplied by powerful countries with land access as it was in the 1990s.

As per reports during negotiation with Taliban they demanded Governorship of 6 Northern Provinces and Foreign Affair Ministry .....

The whole nation of India has pinned their hopes on Northern Alliance, some media suggesting to airdrop supplies. I hope the Taliban will deny the Indians their last wish.

The reason the soviets failed in Panjshir was due to them carrying heavy logistics because the terrain was extremely favorable to the Panjshiris hence Russia failed there on many attempts.

But TB knows how to fight without logistics and they can come in at night with night-vision without issues nor running into strong resistance.. Majority of TB are mountain people themselves and know mountain warfare.

This is the topgraphy of Panjshir valley

Trying to enter the valley using humves and other cars would not work because it gets very narrow and it offers the resistance in panjshir topgraphy advantage but there is another way to attack by making different smaller unites each consisting of 200 storming the place at different places at the same time during the night and using that shade of darkness to your advantage. These Panjshiris are currently in mental anguish but they won't know what hit them and you will be inside the city by dawn because you entered during the night and you must move fast.. Once you enter the city the only issues becomes resupplies but what you do is you keep sending 200 units of 20 times each day which is approx 4000 on each day in 5 days that is in total 20.000.. Once you enter the city at first time some hold-outs may hold-out but not on the 2 or 3rd day waves. Once you are inside the city their moral will fall..

The Panjshiris have been saying one phrase it is easy to get in but difficult to get out and by that phrase they mean you get trapped once you run-out of resupply because it is difficult of resupplies to reach you but that can entirely be fixed if you come in waves and come upon them during in the dark of the night they won't know what hit them..

Conclusion Panjshir will be easy take and much easier than some of the other cities TB fought in because these cities offered labyrinth type of shapes since they were bigger cities but in Panjshir once you reach the city it is pretty much yours because it is a very small city. Some of the hold-outs will be located in the mountains they will either surrender or you can hunt these remnants down

I think Northern Alliance is getting revived, Taliban got the setback yesterday.

 

[Titanium100]

yesterday.

They never moved inside Panjshir proper just the outskirts surrendering areas. Zabimullah Mujahid said few hours ago that he believes 80% this will be solved via dialogue and Taliban delegation is now inside Panjshir talking with Massoud if these talks fail IEA will move in but not until the talks are over

Talks might not work, Taliban chewed more than they can digest and Northern Alliance knows this.

erm... Taliban has 2 officials in each district that the na had taken over and ever since, the Taliban fighters have retaken those districts that the so called "hardened na fighters" surrendered without a fight (again). further, the Taliban have completely surrounded panjshir valley with the highest peaks in their control while the na fighters are starting to blame pappu masood junior & arminder saley that they are pandering to western & indian funding just to create chaos the Afghanistan while the Taliban are trying to prevent killing of their own countrymen. now go back to the indian shit hole you just raised your head out of.

The biggest strength of guerrilla movements like the TTA is their unconventional tactics, this is what enabled them to fight of the US led coalition for so long and ultimately win. Now they have lost that advantage, they are on the offensive and have lost their flexibility and freedom of action. A guerrilla movement resorting to conventional tactics is the end of it. The Panjshiris are going to grind them to a stop or at the very least make victory extremely costly.

uhm...wrong again. Taliban busy got done chewing up a super power (usa) and two big powers (uk & france) along with their indian and anglosaxon cronies, you think na stands a turd pellet of a chance?

Afraid of my presence, wonderful.
