#LastStand - According to our calculations, #Panjshir would have fallen in the beginning of October had we made a last stand. Our ammunitions and fuel supplies would have lasted until around this time. I am glad the commanders who were in favour of a last stand were pushed aside
The reason why the resistance is still active is because of the withdrawal. There would have been no ambushes and no resistance had we made a stand. This allowed the leadership to move to other provinces to ignite the flames of resistance.
Withdrawal is the reason why we have resistance in our province. It is the reason why there is resistance in the surrounding provinces. We carried the flames of resistance from #PanjshirValley to our own valleys throughout the mighty Hindu Kush.

(1/10) Here's another Rant about why the Afghanistan Conflict has nothing to do with it's "mediaval backwardness" or primitive tribalism as some people in the west claim neither with the cold war

of course the importance of the soviet invasion cannot be denied but there are other reasons, namely the worst disaster in the history of british decolonization: The indian subcontinent.Let me explain.
So they divided the indian subcontinent in a muslim and a hindu nation.
Yes, One muslim nation. Young people from the west might not know this but Bangladesh used to be part of Pakistan. Pakistan is not a natural nation so when they built their state they went fot urdu nationalism. The Bengals of Bangladesh didn't like it. So they revolted

#TheBattleOfPanjshir How desperate a group of men have to be to search the war museum for working fighting machines. We opened the old containers meant to serve as a make shift museums to our past glorious, looking for anything to wake up so it could fire gain just one more time.
#Panjshir was the safest province of Afghanistan hence the Afghan army didn't have any substantial presence. The men of Panjshir were busy fighting in the four corners of our land. We were like an old rusty boxer called from retirement to face the new enemy at the gates.
Event happened too fast and we were cornered within weeks of #Taliban launching their final offensive. We had no time to prepare and any resources we had were sent to Takhar province to hold off the Taliban advance. Nobody expected Taliban to give a new definition to #Blitzkrieg.

Update #Afghanistan .
Die Widerstandsprovinz #Panjshir ist gefallen. Die #Taliban räumen nun langsam all die vielen Waffenlager leer, die sie dort vorgefunden haben.
Besonders brisant: sie fanden in Pandschir allen Ernstes ballistische Kurzstreckenraketen vor.

Es heißt, sie hätten zahlreiche alte sowjetische Kurzstreckenraketen vom Typ "Elbrus" und "Luna-M" vorgefunden.
Reichweite bis zu 300 km.
Es scheint allerdings nicht, dass diese noch funktionsfähig wären.
Dennoch stellt sich die Frage, woher #Panjshir diese überhaupt hat.

Die Sowjetunion hatte die afgh.Armee einst kurz vor ihrem Abzug damit ausgerüstet, um gegen die Mudjahedeen zu kämpfen.
Nach dem Fall der sozialistischen Regierung landeten die Teile anscheinend in #Panjshir und lagen seitdem die 30 Jahre in den Bergen vor sich hin.

Der Widerstand im #PanjshirValley ist weitgehend gebrochen. Die #NorthernAllianceForces existieren als organisierte Streitmacht scheinbar nicht mehr.
Zugleich werden die #Taliban vermutlich noch lange mit Widerstands- und Guerillakämpfern in den Bergen zu tun haben.
(2/11)
Die #NorthernAlliance hat in diesem Zusammenhang schwere Vorwürfe gegen #Pakistan erhoben.
#Panshjir sei gefallen, weil die pakistanische Armee und Luftwaffe den #Taliban geholfen hätten.
Die Eroberung soll vom pakistanischen Geheimdienst koordiniert worden sein.

Update #Afghanistan
Die #Taliban melden zum zweiten Mal, dass #Pandschir gefallen ist.
Ob sie wirklich das gesamte Tal zu 100% kontrollieren, darf weiterhin angezweifelt werden. Dass sie aber große Erfolge erzielt haben, ist mittlerweile unbestreitbar.

Die Meldungen sind widersprüchlich. Die Taliban meinen, sie kontrollieren mittlerweile 100% von #PanjshirValley . Das ist zurzeit weiterhin unwahrscheinlich.
Konfliktbeobachter gehen aber durchaus davon aus, dass der Großteil der Provinz in ihren Händen ist.

PR-mäßig haben sie klar die Oberhand.
So präsentierten sie ein Video, wie sie ihre Flagge über der eroberten Gouverneursresidenz hissen.
Die Message ist klar: Wir haben die Hauptstadt von #Panjshir eingenommen.
Einen organisierten Widerstand gebe es nicht mehr.

Everyone who declared themselves an Afghanistan expert less than a month ago is silent today as the last Afghan resistance stronghold in #Panjshir is under heavy aerial heavy bombardment by the Taliban, aided by Pakistan.
On the ground in #Panjshir, Ahmad Massoud's close aide, Mohammad Fahim Dashty, died in battle as the Northern Alliance Resistance Force fought the Taliban.

With Ghani gone, VP Amrullah Saleh declared himself to be the democratically-elected leader & has been hold up in #PanjshirValley - the last resistance stronghold - now under attack. Saleh is calling on the UN to intervene to stop the burgeoning genocide.

It's so easy to fool viewers by sharing old & random videos & claim it to be from Afghan. Here, @Republic_Bharat anchor telecasts 1 yr old video from Egypt & explains how #Panjshir fighters are attacking Taliban. The video shared on FB has 20,000+ shares & 13+ Million views.🤦🏾‍♂️
The video shared by Republic and claimed to be recent from #panjshirprovince was actually uploaded in may last year by Egypt facebook page. 🤦🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️
In the same episode, @Republic shows one more old video from Yemen and goes on to explain how Northern Alliance army has attacked and killed several Talibanis who are trying to enter #panjshirprovince 🤦🏾‍♂️

Mittlerweile dürfte die sogenannte #NorthernAlliance über eine signifikante Streitmacht verfügen.
Ehemalige afghanische Militärs brachten zahlreiche Technik ist das #PanjshirValley .
Zuletzt präsentierte die Bewegung sogar eigene Mi-Kampfhubschrauber, die es nun besitze.

Die #NorthernAlliance erklärte, man sei für Verhandlungen bereit, werde aber nicht nachgeben.
Man habe genug Kraft und gut ausgebaute Stellungen auf Anhöhen, um jeden Sturm der #Taliban zurückzuschlagen.
Auch in den 1990-ern konnten die Taliban das Tal nicht erobern.

According to Taliban sources brother of Ashraf Ghani pledged alliance to Taliban. Taliban declared amnesty for Ashraf Ghani and Amrullah Saleh. Image
@washingtonpost confirms only 30 taliban killed in total past 4 days while for example dutch media @NOS reports 300 taliban killed. Reason why they didnt anticipate rapid take-over of Afghanistan is because they dont report facts.
According to Taliban sources they gave orders to their fighters not to attack run away soldiers lead by amrullah, but proceed with fight against local militia allied with Massoud.

Why is Panjshir significant?

As the Taliban head there, here's everything you need to know about the Valley of Resistance.

Panjshir had been a resistance stronghold against the Soviets in the 1980s & then against the Taliban in the 1990s.

Since the Taliban overran Afghanistan, flickers of resistance have begun to emerge with some ex-government troops gathering in the Panjshir, north of Kabul, long known as an anti-Taliban bastion.
