AfghanistanThung Panjshir is the last remaining stronghold in Afghanistan where the anti-Taliban side seems to be gathering forces to establish a guerrilla movement.

After the Taliban occupied the capital Kabul last week and took control of Afghanistan, Panjshir Valley in the northern country was probably the last place where antagonists also clung to.

This area, located about 150 km northeast of Kabul, now becomes a shelter of some senior officials from overthrown, such as Vice President of Amrullah Saleh or former Minister

I will never, never bear the head before the Taliban.

Panjshir Valley repeatedly plays a decisive role in Afghan military history with a particularly almost perfectly separated geographical position with the rest of the country.

Featured with natural defense capabilities, this area in Hindu Kush mountains did not fall into Taliban's hands in the civil war in the 1990s as well as without being conquered by the Soviet before.

The valley has about 150,000 people and mainly belongs to the Tajik ethnic group, while most Taliban is Pashtun.

Panjshir valley is one of Afghanistan's safest lands.

After the Soviet Union pulled away from Afghanistan in 1989, the civil war broke out with the last victory about Taliban's hand.

In 2001, Massoud was assassinated by suspected gunmen as Al-Qaeda terrorist organization.

Now, Ahmad Massoud, son Ahmad Shah Massoud, claims to follow his father's footsteps.

Ahmad Massoud said it was commanding a militia in the valley.

The social networks showed that former President Saleh once met Massoud and the two seemed to be gathering forces to build a guerrillas against the Taliban.

Massoud also called on the United States to provide an ammunition to fight.

Today, I wrote from the Panjshir valley, ready to follow his father's footsteps, with Mujahideen warriors, who are willing to once again stand up against the Taliban, Massoud announced.

Russia on August 19 also emphasized a protest movement forming in Panjshir valley by Saleh and Massoud.

However, no way this anti-Taliban movement is so strong and how new rulers in Kabul will react.

If the Taliban keeps the word, the Panjshir valley will be safe because the war has ended in Afghanistan.
