Taliban push deep into Afghanistan's holdout Panjshir ValleyThe Panjshir Valley is the last major pocket of resistance in Afghanistan against the Taliban. KABUL - Taliban fighters have advanced deep into Afghanistan's holdout Panjshir Valley, with resistance fighters saying they are keeping the Islamists at bay, but analysts warned they are struggling. "The Taliban army has been hardened with 20 years of war, and make no mistake, the Taliban trained an army," Roggio tweeted Sunday, adding that "the odds were long" for the Panjshir resistance. "The Taliban army was injected with a massive amount of weapons and munitions after the US withdrawal and collapse of the ANA" (Afghan National Army), he added. "It will be quite easy to verify a video showing Taliban within the Panjshir valley," Waters said.
