The National Resistance Front to Reassume the Control of Sections of Panjshir Province; “Nu uh,” sez Taliban
2022-05-08
[KhaamaPress] The Resistance® Front claims that operations in Panjshir have resumed, with their first operation claiming sections of the province.

The Resistance® Front’s front man, Sibghatullah Ahmadi, tweeted last night, May 7, that the districts of AbdullahKhel and Abshar, with the exception of their centers, had fallen to the Front.

He also labeled all of the Resistance® Front’s held territories as crucial and strategic, noting that the district centers were under siege and that the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
had asked more time to surrender.

The operation was carried out as the Taliban Red Unit was conducting house-to-house searches in the two districts, according to the front man for the Resistance® Front.

The operation has killed 13 Taliban fighters, and Ahmadi claims that five of their armored vehicles have been destroyed.

Mr. Ahmadi further said that the Resistance® Front forces had also taken control of the Doab checkpoint. Nine Taliban members were killed and six others were maimed during this phase of the liberation operation.

Former Taliban security chief for Panjshir province Abdul Hamid Khorasani has dismissed the Resistance® Front’s assertion as a fabrication.

The response:
Islamic Emirate Denies Clashes in Panjshir

[ToloNews] The Islamic Emirate denied the festivities between the Islamic Emirate and the Resistance® Front’s forces in the central province of Panjshir.

A front man for Panjshir’s governor, Abubaker Sediq, said there was a small amount of gunfire but the situation was controlled by the Islamic Emirate.

"We deny this allegation. This is a plot by some biased individuals. This is not true. There was a small amount gunfire yesterday evening in the Abshar area by the opponents, but the Islamic Emirate controlled the situation," he said.

Meanwhile,
...back at the wrecked scow, Agent 49 felt gingerly for his head. It was still there. He had been hoping differently...
the Resistance® Front claimed that festivities are still underway in Abshar district of Panjshir province, and they have overrun several areas.

"An extended region of the Panjshir province, including a large part of Abdulah Khail and Abshar valley, fell to the resistance (forces)," said Sebghat Ahmadi, a front man for the Resistance® Front.

This comes as reports of festivities between the Islamic Emirate and the Resistance® Front in Panjshir have been posted on social media.

The Islamic Emirate’s front man, Zabiullah Mujahid, denied the reports and called them speculation.

"There have been no security incidents anywhere. The enemy published some propaganda on Facebook and Twitter. But the truth is (Look out! Whopper coming! that a strong troop presence exists there (Panjshir) and nothing will happen," Mujahid said.

However,
there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly...
there has been no video footage of festivities between the two sides in Panjshir.
