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 🤦🏾‍♂️

This video was earlier shared by many Yemeni facebook pages with a claimed that the person in the video is a Commander from Yemeni army.

I think @republic @Republic_Bharat should get back to investigating SSR's case. 🤭

Not just @republicbharat, even @IndiaToday ran an old video from Yemen as recent incident from #Panjshirvalley, Afghanistan. 👇🤭🤦🏾‍♂️

Wait! Even @TimesNow shared one year old video from Egypt claiming it to be from #Panjshir, Afghanistan. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤭

Wait! Even @ABPNews shared the same one year video from Egypt as #Panjshir 🤦🏾‍♂️🤭🤣

Here is @AltNewsHindi fact check debunking the same. 👇😄
