Taliban capture Panjshir, soon to announce future government September 06, 2021 at 08:34AM

The Taliban announced on Monday that they had captured the Panjshir valley, north of Kabul, ousting the resistance force that had been one of the obstacles in the way of the group announcing its government for Afghanistan. The announcement came hours after National Resistance Front (NRF) chief Ahmad Massoud said he was ready to hold peace talks, as suggested by religious scholars, if Taliban fighters halted their offensive.
