Afghan Resistance, in Startling Report, Says It Has Liberated Districts in Northern Panjshir Region from Taliban
New York Sun ^ | 05/07/2022 | John Bennett

Afghanistan’s National Resistance Front, an opposition group, is claiming this evening to be on the verge of victories over the Taliban in several districts in the country’s Northeastern provinces.

The NRF, which describes itself as “the last force fighting for the restoration of democracy in Afghanistan,” expressed hopes that these victories were the first steps in an effort to liberate the country from Taliban rule.

It noted, though, that it was working without foreign aid that could bolster its efforts. Security analysts, meanwhile, expressed skepticism over whether the NRF could topple the new regime in Kabul, though noting the Taliban did see the group as a threat.

“There is intense fighting right now throughout Panjshir,” the NRF’s head of foreign relations, Ali Nazary, told The New York Sun in a telephone interview Friday evening.

Mr. Nazary said the group had “liberated three districts,” including Hisa Awal, Abshar, and Abdullah Khel, all of which are located in Panjshir province in Northeastern Afghanistan.

Mr. Nazary’s reports could not be confirmed by the Sun. If true they would mark an important moment at the start of what is called the fighting season in Afghanistan and suggest that a startling and more spirited fight than previously reported is under way in the country.

I think the newfound interest is just the Partisan Media Shills grinding out the DNC agenda. Y'see, opposition to abortion is all about the oppression of women.

If it was not the incompetent and clue less Biden administration then who was responsible for leaving all of that equipment in Afghanistan.

Why were Americans left behind in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of U.S. forces.

The Afghan resistance in the north regions of Afghanistan have always been good fighters.
