Panjshir resistance leader backs truce with Taliban to end weeks of fighting
The Taliban has claimed victory in Afghanistan's Panjshir province, with a spokesman saying the region had been"completely conquered" following two weeks of fierce fighting with a resistance group.
Panjshir was the last remaining hold-out among Afghanistan's 34 provinces to resist the Taliban. If the claim is true, it would mean the Taliban now control every Afghan province. However, the National Resistance Front in Afghanistan , an anti-Taliban group which has been battling the militant's offensive in the Panjshir Valley, denied the claim, with spokesman Ali Nazary telling CNN:"The resistance is still all over the valley.
