How Panjshir Valley is still standing tall among Afghan ruins fighting Taliban | Decoded

The Panjshir Valley in Afghanistan has emerged as the base of what is being called “The Resistance” against the Taliban.

If one looks at the map of Afghanistan, a lake-like structure resembling a rocket appears north of Kabul. It is the Panjshir Valley. This small province is the thorn in the Taliban's flesh as they eye to consolidate their hold on Afghanistan after a surprisingly smooth capture of the country earlier in August. Literally meaning five lions, Panjshir has emerged as the base of what is being called “The Resistance” against the Taliban. The fighting is on, with the Taliban making claims of wresting certain districts from the resistance group.
