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

[SIPRA]

According to the Indians and Panjshiris on Twitter, nearly 1000000 Taliban's have been killed and nearly half of them have been captured so far. BS on epic proportions.

Indians don't believe in small BS. It has to be of epic proportions. Latest case is that of General Bakri's claims.

He promised an "organized resistance" to Taliban rule. Now he wants U.S. help to lead that fight.

While the Taliban's dramatic takeover of Afghanistan was met with little resistance, clear signs of defiance were appearing on Thursday.

In an op-ed published in The Washington Post, the son of Afghanistan's most famed anti-Taliban fighter claimed to have the forces to mount an effective resistance, but he called on the United States to supply arms and ammunition to his militia.

"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 said, adding that "America can still be a great arsenal of democracy" by supporting his fighters.

In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Thursday that a Taliban resistance was forming in Afghanistan led by ousted Frist Vice President Amrullah Saleh and Massoud.


"The Taliban doesn't control the whole territory of Afghanistan," Lavrov told reporters.

On the political front, the Taliban continued to edge toward establishing a government, meeting with senior Afghan figures from the past two decades.

Taliban negotiator Anas Haqqani met with Hamid Karzai, the first Western-backed leader of Afghanistan after the Taliban's ouster in 2001, and Abdullah Abdullah, who had led the government's peace council, the militant group said on Twitter.


Saleh and Massoud were prepared for the coming fight. On Tuesday, after President Ashraf Ghani fled abroad, Saleh made it clear that he was staying in Afghanistan, and he declared himself the "legitimate caretaker president" of the country.

When he was still part of the serving government in May, Saleh told CBS News' Charlie D'Agata that the U.S. was wrong to have entered into negotiations with the Taliban in the first place, saying the group could not be trusted. He indicated then that if the militants were "waiting for a moment of surrender from the Afghan people, it won't come."

Many of the country's security forces did walk away from their posts without a fight in the face of the Taliban's rapid return to power, but Saleh and Massoud appeared set to challenge the notion that the entire country would fold as easily.

Massoud and his followers have been preparing for a possible all-out civil war for months, even as they hoped the situation wouldn't get that bad.


"I'll fight for it, and I'm ready to give my life for it," he told D'Agata in May. His father gave his life for it: Ahmad Shah Massoud was a renowned guerrilla commander who led the resistance against the Taliban occupation in the 1990's.

The senior Massoud was assassinated just two days before September 11, 2001. The Taliban knew the U.S. would retaliate for the terror attacks, and the anti-Taliban commander would have been too dangerous an ally to allow the Americans.

His son told CBS News in May that he and others were ready to take up arms in what some had already started calling "Resistance 2.0."

"Armed groups against international terrorism," he told D'Agata. "They are ready. If the situation goes towards a war, we will announce it, and we will be ready."

"It will be people ready to fight," he said. "It will be an organized resistance against the Taliban."

He promised an "organized resistance" to Taliban rule. Now he wants U.S. help to lead the fight.

In May, the son of an anti-Taliban hero vowed to lead an "organized resistance" against the militants if they took over. Now he wants U.S. help.

In a further sign of Kabul's airport resuming activity following the US withdrawal last week, Afghan airline Ariana announced the resumption of internal flights to three cities: Herat, Mazar-i-Sharif and Kandahar.
Al-Jazeera TV quoted Qatar's ambassador as saying a technical team from Qatar had succeeded in reopening the airport to receive aid flights.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is travelling to Qatar on Sunday. The country plays a key mediating role in Afghanistan, but he is not expected to meet anyone from the Taliban.

The head of Pakistan's spy agency, the ISI, General Faiz Hameed has arrived in Kabul, but gave nothing away when questioned by reporters.

An official told Reuters earlier this week he could help the Taliban reorganise the Afghan military.

This particular account is dubious and even caught with fake reporting. Some click bait follower hungry troll, to be precisely.

yea putting the cap like his dad wont make the Taliban go away.

Couple of days ago, he was demanding half share in government and now it comes to guarantee for his head. Pity as few of Panjshiris believed in him and as usual, Indians bet on a troll.

I got the point a long time ago. The situation is no different here. The deep state held back as long as was possible in Afghanistan. Obama shouted hoarse and then held back. The situation now is definitely more dire than before. The US debt and the wavering economy meant a decision had to be made . The deep state did not go along this time. It realized there is no other way out of this Zero sum game. I hope you get my point.
In Pak politics as well the deep state goes along with a lot of things as long as red boundaries are not crossed. Modi came as a guest and went no one batted an eyelid even though from a strategic POV it gave out wrong signals. There are kany more examples where the deep state has gone along.
But then again let us not derail the thread.

Not to derail the threads - pakistani army has way too many red lines
