Taliban Claims 'All Districts' in Panjshir, Fighting in Center [ToloNews] As the fighting continues in Panjshir, the Taliban  ...Arabic for students... on Sunday said they have captured all districts of Panjshir province but the fighting is ongoing at the provincial center. The Resistance® Front, however, rejects the Taliban’s claim, saying they have retaken Paryan district from Taliban forces. Both Taliban forces and the Resistance® Front are claiming to have the upper hand on the battlefield. Ahmadullah Wasiq, deputy head of the Taliban’s Cultural Commission, said on Sunday that Taliban forces have captured all districts of Panjshir. "The Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate are actively present in all areas and districts of Panjshir. All the areas are under the control of the Mujahideen. They only faced resistance in Bazarak in the center of Panjshir," he said. Taliban forces posted a video on social media saying they have taken heavy equipment used by the Resistance® Front. "We have taken several cannons of the enemy," said Mawlawi Sakhidad Majmar, a Taliban commander. The Resistance® Front front man, Fahim Dashti, Dashti in a tweet said that the Taliban has suffered casualties in the fighting. "Panjshir’s Paryan has been completely cleared of Taliban. At least, '1,000 terrorists' were stuck as their entrance and exit ways were closed. All the aggressors were arrested or killed by the local people with support from the resistance forces while they were fleeing. A big number of those arrested are foreigners and most of them are specifically Paks," Dashti tweeted. The Italian aid agency Emergency said Taliban forces had reached the Panjshir village of Anabah, where they run a surgical centre. "Many people have fled from local villages in recent days," Emergency said in a statement Saturday, adding it was continuing to provide medical services and treating a "small number of wounded". Anabah lies some 25 kilometres (15 miles) north inside the 115-kilometre-long valley, but unconfirmed reports suggested the Taliban had seized other areas too. Bill Roggio, managing editor of the US-based Long War Journal, said Sunday that while there was still a "fog of war" with unconfirmed reports the Taliban had captured multiple districts "it looks bad". Both sides claim to have inflicted heavy losses on the other. "The Taliban army has been hardened with 20 years of war, and make no mistake, the Taliban trained an army," Roggio tweeted Sunday, adding that "the odds were long" for the Panjshir resistance.
He was also the nephew of Abdullah Abdullah, a senior official of the former government who is involved in negotiations with the Taliban on the future of Afghanistan. A senior Taliban front man tweeted Sunday that Taliban troops had overrun Rokha district, one of largest of eight districts in Panjshir.
