#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.
When you are outnumbered and outgunned, there is no time for emotions, anger or heroism. Wise heads must prevail. Some commanders just couldn't accept the withdrawal. You see my friends.. This struggle is for #Afghanistan, not a single province. No time for EGO'S!
We could have made a last stand, but it would have been pointless. It would have not achieved anything. Not only it would have not achieved anything, but we would have also starved the people in the valley due to economic blockade by the #Talibans. This is not acceptable!
The biggest blunder the #American's made was when they allowed the Taliban leadership to escape to Pakistan in 2001. The biggest blunder the Taliban made was to allow our leadership to escape from Panjshir in 2021. Unlike Taliban, We are not coward's. We are still in Afghanistan.

#TheAlternative - Taliban are made of several extremists groups. They are like a supermarket of extremism. If you are an extremist, you don't need to create your own special group. You can easily find a group within the Taliban franchise. From school bombing groups to lesser evil
There was no such group as ISIS-K in Afghanistan until this September. If you are an extremist who share the values of ISIS, you could easily find yourself a group within the Taliban to join.
The people who financed the Taliban are the same people who are financing ISIS-K now.
In 2017 when #Trump dropped the mother of all bombs in Nangarhar province, the Americans didn't even bother check the damage it caused. The bomb wasn't dropped to kill or damage tunnel networks of ISIS-K, it was meant to serve the ego of the president. The mother of all ego's!
#MansouriBattalion is the suicide battalion of Taliban. Their creation is not new. They have been operating for the last 12 years or more. They were recruited to target high value targets (HVT). They were responsible for most of green on blue attacks targeting NATO personal.
They are deployed at #Tajikistan border. In the event of a war, they will be heading for Tajik cities, not blowing up themselves Infront of border guards.
These guys are fanatics. There is a brainwashed human then there is a rebooted human. These guys are programmed for one task
We captured a member of this battalion when his vest failed. That's how we discovered the battalion's existence. It was a privilege to meet him. I say privilege, because you don't usually meet these guys in one piece. Both of you are in pieces by the time he reveals his identity!
#Dislaaf - The first transaction of the day between a shopkeeper and a customer is called Dislaaf. The shopkeeper will usually give you a discount and upon taking the money he will say "Bismillah" (In the name of God). This is meant to bring you good fortune. #Afghanistan
A few days back I went to a shop to buy something. This was late in the evening. As I paid the shopkeeper, I heard him say the word "Bismillah. I knew this was his Dislaaf. A shopkeeper should make his Dislaaf within an hour of opening his shop, not so late in the evening.
My friends, the economic situation is going from bad to worse. The money has simply dried up. It's like someone collected all the money from Afghanistan and vanished. #AshrafGhani and his gang took some, but they couldn't have taken all the money. Money is as valuable us gold now
#Ambush - My friends, a military ambush is when you come out from behind the rocks and surprise your enemy. It's no different to when you hide behind a tree trunk or a wall to scare your friends. Your friend might slap you for making him jump, but on the field it's more deadly!
In an ambush you hold all the cards. You can choose the location suitable for the ambush, you can choose your target and even the time. Sometimes our friends show up late to their appointment, but that doesn't bother us. As long as they show up, we are happy!
During one of our recent encounters, the Taliban convoy stopped in the middle of the kill zone. They were outraged for being ambushed. They have become so arrogant that they don't respect us anymore. Unfortunately, that's the last time he will stop his truck anywhere #Resistance2
#Peace & #Oppression -
I traveled through a few provinces in the north. We do have peace! You can not deny this. There is no more firing, there is no more bombing, people are no longer nervous about going outside. No kidnapping and you don't have to bribe the officials anymore.
This peace was not achieved through a handshake on a table and there was no celebrations on the streets. This is an uneasy peace imposed on our people through oppression. We only achieved this peace when our oppressors stopped firing. Unfortunately, this is a unsustainable peace.
#Talibans have always been a one Policy government. They are obsessed with security. Hanging, beating, shouting and humiliation is common on the streets. Any nation can bring crime levels to zero with this methods, but will they still be called a civilized nation!
#Talibans amnesty - Taliban amnesty applies to all the individual who worked for the Republic of Afghanistan. Unofficially it only applies to former members of the army, police, civil servants, journalist and the judiciary. It doesn't apply to Air Force, NDS and special units.
Taliban are actively seeking for former members of NDS and special units with the help of ISI. They have our biometrics. They know exactly who is who, but struggling to locate them. They are fully aware that these people form the foundations of the resistance & will cause trouble
Men joined the army to provide for their families. Their hearts weren't fully into fighting the Taliban. There was the armies fight with the Taliban, then it was the special units fight with the Taliban. Without the special forces, the army would have collapsed even sooner.
