Yes but in this article there is a video showing the Taliban fighters raising their flag in front of Panjshir's provincial governor's office, thereby giving their claims more credence.

From what I understand by hearing and reading the news here. They don't have complete control over this province, something with clashes here and there.

But it's only a matter of time before they have full control over Panjshir

I just read the development and treaties with Afghanistan will be..
China gets the natural resources
America gets the drugs
Germany gets the refugees

The fall of Panjshir has Pakistan written all over it

Pretty funny. The joke that is.

Why does Pakistan bomb Panjshir ?

To help Taliban ?
To help the freedom fighters ?

Pakistan's support of the Taliban is a proxy war against India

The strong Pakistani alliance with a China that is vastly richer than it was 20 years ago also gives Pakistan the hope that Chinese investment in Afghanistan may help to keep the Taliban government aligned with Pakistani interests.

Thank you.

I seem to recall what someone wrote about Taliban and India. Something with bombing some province in India. I could of course have remembered wrong though.

Watch the video I posted from Pepe Escobar. You will learn more in an hour than you have in the last twenty years.

It is not even about "Afghanistan" or "Pakistan", with the somewhat cluelessly drawn "borders", there are Pashtuns left and right of it and a lot are Taliban.
Of course they try to get control over a larger area, question is whether THEY will suceed with it.

B.t.w. Churchill's "The Story of the Malakand Field Force" is a good read; I doubt much has changed.

Agreed

The Taliban have announced a new interim government for the country and declared it an "Islamic Emirate"

The group's supreme commander Hibatullah Akhundzada urges ministers to uphold Sharia law in Afghanistan.

The cabinet includes several figures who fought against the US-led invasion from 2001

Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, one of the movement's founders, is acting prime minister.

Sarajuddin Haqqani, named as interior minister, is leader of the feared Haqqani militant network and wanted by the FBI

No women's affairs minister has been announced, and there are no women named in the interim cabinet.

The Taliban took control of Afghanistan more than three weeks ago, following the collapse of the Western-backed government.

Earlier on Tuesday the Taliban fired shots to disperse a protest denouncing their rule in Kabul.

As a veteran, it really upset me to see this happen. I am still awaiting word on an interpreter that worked with us to find out if he and his family (wife, 4 kids) got out of there. Can't find any information and it is upsetting to think he and his family may have been left behind and probably killed. Pulling the military out first was the worst thing anyone could have ever done in this situation and for him to tell the Afghan government back in July to make it look like they were winning makes it even worse.
