Fighting is currently raging between the Taliban in Afghanistan and the Afghan army stationed in the Panjir Valley, according to foreign media reports. Unofficial reports say more than 700 Taliban have been killed so far.
According to unofficial reports, the Taliban has issued a statement urging Afghan forces stationed in the Panshir Valley to surrender and pardon them. All extremist groups have joined the Taliban and are said to be attacking troops in the Panshir Valley.
The Afghan army, or Northern Alliance, has said its only goal is to drive the extremists out of Afghanistan and inherit a fully independent state for the people of Afghanistan. According to international reports, he has stated that he will fight for it.
The Taliban have been unable to advance because of landmines in the conflict zone. It is said that Ahmed Masood’s group with the support of foreign forces is advancing by expelling 963 Taliban. His only goal is to gain independence, and he continues to supply them with food from Tajikistan and weapons from Russia. The Taliban has already suffered a major defeat and the pound is retreating, according to international reports.
