Taliban intensifies siege of Panjshir

4

On August 28, a video appeared on the Web showing a convoy of the Taliban movement (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation) moving along the Panjshir River in the Afghan province of the same name. This unit arrived from the province of Faryab, bordering with Turkmenistan, having covered more than one hundred kilometers.

The Taliban are pulling forces from all over Afghanistan to the rebellious region in order to make the siege of the entire Panjshir Valley as dense as possible. They occupy commanding heights and equip firing positions in preparation for a decisive offensive against the Panjshir Resistance, the only military formation capable of providing organized resistance to the Taliban in the country. But the "trap" is inexorably compressed, and the blockade is intensifying, since the region has no access to neighboring countries, and there is no way to break through the corridor.




Despite the declared ceasefire, local fighting in the province (wilayat) of Panjshir and the Mandol region of neighboring Nuristan continues. Both sides periodically report that they have recaptured several counties from the enemy.

However, this is not of fundamental importance, because if external forces do not help the Panjshir Resistance (FANR), its military defeat will be only a matter of time. One of the leaders of the Panjshir Resistance is Ahmad Masud, the son of the famous field commander Ahmad Shah Massoud, who fought against the USSR and the Taliban and was killed by a suicide bomber of Al-Qaeda (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation) on September 10, 2001, a day before terrorist attacks in the United States. However, the Taliban now have so many weapons and well-trained fighters that many European countries can envy this, and the export of all this wealth is not excluded.

Realizing this, in a final attempt to stem the inevitable, the Panjshir Resistance sent a delegation to Pakistan last week to negotiate with the Taliban. But, apparently, the Taliban are confident in their strength.

The Taliban were looking for a peaceful solution. But the Taliban will not compromise. The Taliban want complete loyalty to themselves and complete control on their part

- said the adviser to Massoud Jr. on August 28.

    Kirdyk Masud (junior). Don't even go to the grandmother.

    But he didn’t know, the elder didn’t know what his "alliance" would turn out to be from pin to itself. No, I didn't even know. The younger one will probably fly away in a "blue" USA helicopter. May be. Or maybe it won't fly away. Maybe they will crash. Over the once "native" gorge. From the stinger!

    And I would have known ... I would have known - Ten times Ahmad Shah Massoud (senior) would have thought ... - to fight the shuravi or not! And it looks like it won back on his youngest.

    Worse than a war with the Saxons, there can only be friendship with them. A truth with which Masud Ahmad (both ... both the elder and the younger) will no longer argue. Late!

    I just read the news:

    Taliban opens locks on Helmand River for drought-stricken eastern Iran, providing water for over a million Iranians

    The Kamal Khan Dam was closed in March this year by ousted Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, who said Afghanistan would no longer give free water to anyone, and Iran should provide fuel to Afghans in return if they wanted to. Thus, Tehran claims that Ghani violated the 1973 Helmand River Treaty, which divided the water between the two countries.

    This is not Ukraine!

    I'm not completely sure, but so far the Taliban are much more attractive to me than the American fosterlings. They are all rotten. That Isis. What's Karzai with Ashraf. That the Israelis are attacking Syria ... That the Saxons with the Gayrops, that the Ukrainians, ... all these cowardly scoundrels, clean in words, but disgusting in deeds ... to a state of constant diarrhea ...

    Masud is a bayonet in the ground! West won't help
