Taliban claims full control of Panjshir
While the resistance forces announce that they will continue fighting and hold strategic positions, the Taliban raised their flag over the Panjshir governorate. At the same time, demonstrations have taken place in Kabul, Herat, and Mazar-e-Sharif against Pakistan and the Taliban.
Taliban militants claim that the last province of Afghanistan is completely under their control, but the "National Resistance Front" led by Ahmad Massoud has emphasized that the battle in Darab and Panjshir against the "aggressive enemy" continues.
Kabir Wasiq, the deputy governor of Panjshir, said that the Resistance Front forces have inflicted heavy losses on the Taliban and that the battle is ongoing. At the same time, videos have been posted on social media showing nightly demonstrations in Kabul and Mazar-e-Sharif against Pakistan and the Taliban. Users are calling on people to stand up with the hashtag #Qiyam_Milli.
In the nightly demonstrations of the people of Kabul and Mazar-e-Sharif, the slogans of “Long live Afghanistan” and “Death to the Taliban” were chanted. Rahmatullah Nabil, the former head of Afghanistan’s National Security Agency, also supported Ahmad Massoud’s call for resistance and called “standing against Pakistani domination” a national and conscientious duty of citizens. In recent days, the Taliban have hosted the head of Pakistan’s military intelligence agency.
At the same time, the Taliban released a video of their flag being raised in Panjshir governorate. The group’s spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, also announced that large quantities of weapons and ammunition in the province would be transferred to the center of Afghanistan. He urged people not to march, tweeting: “We have just emerged from a crisis. We call on all women and men, as well as all segments of the population, not to hold marches in such conditions.”
In addition to Afghan cities, a group also gathered in Washington in response to Ahmad Massoud's call. Ali Maysam Nazari, spokesman for the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, tweeted a call to all supporters of the Resistance Front in different countries to become the voice of freedom and protest against Taliban terrorism and aggression.
