According to foreign media reports, the situation in Afghanistan has once again recurred, and the sound of gunshots and explosions has not subsided in this country. In Afghan cities, there have been a number of explosions, two of which have killed more than 100 people. In the valley of Panjhir, the gunfire was endless, and something happened that caught the Taliban off guard – the Fataliban alliance broke through the Taliban siege and escaped from the Panjhir region.
Panjhir has long been the stronghold of the anti-Tajikistan alliance. During the warlord melee more than 20 years ago, the famous anti-Soviet general Masood controlled this area and led the Northern Alliance to fight against the Taliban, and later the Taliban became bigger and bigger, resulting in the lack of survival of all the warlords, and eventually these people formed an alliance with Masood to fight against the Taliban.
When the United States invaded Afghanistan, it also initially ran to Panjahir to find the Northern Alliance, and eventually used the Northern Alliance's guerrillas to drive the Taliban out of Kabul, leaving the Taliban in the ravine for 20 years. After the Taliban made a comeback and re-entered Kabul, Panjhir naturally became the focus again, without the protection of the US military, can the anti-Tajik alliance withstand the Taliban offensive?
It turned out that the Taliban were indeed very capable of fighting, and the Soviet Union encircled and suppressed the Panjshir Gorge, which failed 9 times, and was quickly taken down by the Taliban. The outside world thought that the matter would end here, but it was obviously not so simple, and the Taliban only occupied the town of Panjhir, and did not completely capture the base camp of the Northern Alliance.
At that time, the Taliban were on an unstable footing, and it was not realistic to completely destroy the Northern Alliance, so after taking Panjshir Province, they immediately declared victory, saying that the battle was completely over. The Taliban said this in an attempt to stabilize people's minds, but it left a huge hidden danger - The Little Masood ran to Tajikistan to bring rescue troops, and under the intervention of Tajikistan, the situation on the Taji-Afghan border was suddenly tense.
After that, the question is no longer the relationship between the Taliban and the anti-Tajik alliance, but how the Taliban relates to Tajikistan. There is also a background here, Russia has a military presence in Tajikistan, and it is always in a state of combat readiness, in order to prevent the outbreak of military conflict in Tajikistan. The Taliban, on the other hand, did not budge and sent tens of thousands of special forces directly to the border provinces, vowing to completely eliminate the anti-Tajik alliance.
Of course, the Taliban have not yet been arrogant enough to invade Tajikistan, and their goal is to completely eliminate the remnants of the Panjshir anti-Tajikistan alliance and to guard against the return of the anti-Tajikistan alliance with the help of Tajikistan's strength. However, neither of these goals has been achieved. The Panjhir armed forces also fought in the ravines all their lives, no worse than the Taliban in terms of experience, and after figuring out the Taliban's deployment, they broke through from high altitudes and killed a large number of Taliban members.
The reason why the high-altitude area was chosen to break through was because the Taliban deployed very limited troops at high altitude, and the Resistance Army just found this flaw, which caught the Taliban off guard. Before that, another leader of the anti-Tajik coalition, former Afghan Vice President Saleh, had set up a new government in Tajikistan, the Afghan Government-in-Exile, ready to spend time with the Taliban. As a result, the situation in Afghanistan, which has just calmed down, has once again fallen into a civil war, which is no small test for the Taliban.
