Afghanistan: Taliban guarantee to have taken Panjshir Valley

The Taliban have proclaimed triumph over the area of Panjshir upper east of the capital Kabul, the last pocket of an area which has stayed outside their standard. 

The gathering posted film online of their warriors raising their banner there on Monday. 

Opposition contenders anyway said they were as yet present in "every single key position" and "keep on battling". 

Their chief has required a "public uprising" against the Taliban. 

In a sound recording posted via web-based media Ahmad Massoud, head of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan (NRF), faulted the worldwide local area for legitimizing the Taliban and giving them military and political certainty. 

"Any place you are, inside or outside, I approach you to start a public uprising for the poise, opportunity and thriving of our country," he said. 

The Taliban assumed liability for the remainder of Afghanistan three weeks prior, holding onto the capital Kabul on 15 August after the breakdown of the Western-upheld government. 

It comes almost 20 years after US powers drove an attack to overturn the Taliban. 

Panjshir, a tough mountain valley, is home to somewhere in the range of 150,000 and 200,000 individuals. It was a focal point of opposition when Afghanistan was under Soviet occupation during the 1980s and during the Taliban's past time of rule, somewhere in the range of 1996 and 2001.
