Maybe it's psy ops, but a more realistic assessment...



"Opposition fighters in the last pocket of anti-Taliban territory in Afghanistan are preparing a surrender agreement as they lack resources and international support, a key adviser to the group has told The Telegraph.

Ahmed Massoud, the son of a renowned Afghan warlord, is holding the Panjshir Valley – a natural fortress 100 miles north of Kabul – with a few hundred Afghan soldiers, commandos and pilots.

He has been joined by other ousted Afghan leaders including Amrullah Saleh, the vice president who now claims to be the acting leader of Afghanistan.

In his first interview since the fall of Kabul, Mr Massoud told The Telegraph last week that his surrounded forces would “fight to the last breath” if it came to war.

But an adviser to Mr Massoud, whose identity The Telegraph is not disclosing, said the 32-year-old was looking for a way to capitulate with his honour intact.

“Panjshir can’t fight the Taliban, the Taliban have overwhelming forces,” the adviser said. “This is not the 1980s or 1980s, the Taliban have battle hardened fighters.”

Hundreds of Taliban fighters have been sent towards Panjshir, according to the Taliban's Alemarah information service.

The outlet broadcast footage of a convoy of captured Afghan government trucks flying the white Taliban flag moving along a highway.

“The enemy is under siege in Panjshir,” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said on Twitter.

'Peaceful solution'

At a gathering of clerics in Kabul on Monday, Mr Mujahid said there had been no fighting in Panjshir yet and that the Taliban were seeking a “peaceful solution”.

Mr Massoud’s father, Ahmed Shah Massoud, fought the Soviet invasion in the 1980s and then resisted the Taliban in the 1990s from the valley fortress, before being killed in an Al Qaeda bombing two days before 9/11.

Given his father’s reputation, Mr Massoud’s capitulation would represent a significant win for the Taliban.

“Taliban want outright allegiance, it would be a big symbol to get public allegiance from him because of who his father was,” the adviser said.

Mr Massoud is “looking for a face-saving way for them to surrender,” as well an agreement to keep Taliban forces out of Panjshir, something to which the Taliban are unlikely to agree.

With no international support, Mr Massoud will be unable to hold out for long if the Taliban lose patience in negotiations.

“Everyone is sick of Afghanistan after a 20-year war, no one wants to pour any weapons into a resistance movement,” the adviser said.

“The cards are heavily stacked against Panjshir,” he said. “I think Panjshir can hold out for two to three months, and then the winter will come.”

In a last ditch effort to stop a Taliban military offensive, the Panjshir forces sent a delegation to Pakistan last week to negotiate.

But the Taliban, flush from a stunningly quick military victory, are not in a mood to compromise, said the adviser to Mr Massoud.

“They don’t feel like they’re speaking to an equal,” said the adviser. “They’ve got them surrounded and can attack any time.”"

As I was saying.. Afghans are fighting only on twitter.. Even pouring weapons on Junior Massoud is a waste, as he will only use it to negotiate a more lucrative surrender deal..

CAA NRC etc was a joke I guess if we are going to let these people come in...




Hopefully an Afghani muslim pm too ruling India.

In my view , only those afghani's are taken who were involved in embassy missions and very well known .There can be Few Government MP's which we have taken with whom we worked. (from majority community in Afghan) , rest all the minority will be taken in India , I think it's fair. You can not ditch a person who worked with you in enemy field .

have zero sympathy to afghans / northern alliance/ talifags and what not!!!
not rooting for anyone!!!

even if tomorrow AFG emerges out of civil war and progress economically...in the end they will support PAK only in the name of OIC/ummah-chumma

i only want that they continue to keep fighting among themselves only and drag PAK also to their level...India should just keep putting oil in that fire and support both sides

Punjab has become an interesting state. The elites are so woke that Washington is put to shame and the fundamentalists give the Pakis a tough competition.

Afghan civil society think India is their second home

There is little positive coverage of India in Afghanistan that even because of Indian investment. Radical factions hate Indian pagans just as they hate Jews.

You may visit YouTube to see street interviews of Afghan students on India who all of a sudden start yelling of their situation to get perks from government. Afghans see India as nothing more than a source of cash. Be it Afghan government and citizens or be it Afghan refugees in India or even Taliban.
Taliban is inviting and expecting India to complete infrastructure projects and continue foreign aid to Taliban like it did to Afghan government. All of softness in speeches about India by Taliban is only driven by hopes of recognition and some money.

Afghan community in India are cooperative, soon we may see Afghan origin representation in Indian parliament.

No, Afghan community in India are too small and insignificant to make any positive/negative impact.

Parsis are only foreign community seen in positive light IMO.
