Taliban have declared victory over the province of Panjshir

The Resistance denies they have been beaten but footage has been released of Taliban fighters raising their flag at the Panjshir's provincial governor's office.

In an audio recording posted on social media Ahmad Massoud, leader of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan (NRF), blamed the international community for legitimising the Taliban and giving them military and political confidence.

"Wherever you are, inside or outside, I call on you to begin a national uprising for the dignity, freedom and prosperity of our country," he said.

"The Taliban haven't captured Panjshir," Ali Maisam, spokesman for the NRF, earlier told the BBC, saying he was "rejecting Taliban claims".

A tweet from the group's Twitter handle also said: "The struggle against the Taliban & their partners will continue until justice & freedom prevails."

Looks like the Taliban are going to get a taste of their own medicine but as always it's the civilians who will suffer and refugee numbers will rise.

That was quick. It's not looking good for that country's citizens. I'm sure somehow America will become involved again. I just saw a post about 4 planes full of Americans being held hostage in Kabuls airport.

Yeah..somehow im thinking that the footage might be old or they are using CGI to make propaganda. I do not believe the taliban at all. WHy? because if it was true the spokesman would be dead.

Or he isn't in Panjshir , pretty sure the resistance wouldn't put all their eggs in one basket.
I think it likely the Taliban have taken the Provincial Capital but don't control all of the territory due to its terrain.

True. well wouldnt be the first time they used caves.

Was always going to happen sooner than later, totally surrounded? were they hoping for airdrops from somebody?

Well now that we know where their at supposedly perhaps they are baiting dumpster fire to send a hellfire through the front door?

Is it just me ,why is it the same 4 Taliban I keep seeing in videos?
Are these dudes like their posterboys?
The most Talibani looking Taliban?

And so now the Talibs are within a stones throw of ready-to-fire nuclear weapons from their friends in the Pakistan Talib; I wonder which country will be the first to go? Apparently just one nuke going off anywhere is enough to change the weather patterns worldwide, so perhaps the first to get blown to bits will be the lucky ones..?
