This is unprecedented how Taliban are effectively involving local mediators and how they are DEALING & NEGOTIATING their way to Kabul. Almost all provinces have been secured through TALKS via local tribal elders and scholars, also in cases stick (pressure) and carrot (money).
My province has just announced they are surrendering to the Taliban without a fight, Gardez city will be spared from fighting. Scholars and tribal elders are telling government forces that the government is no more, no more fighting.
There are negotiations taking places between TTP & PAK government on a peace deal, bringing security and peace to KP, facilitated by tribal elders & ppl close to Afghan Taliban. The info has been verified via source on the ground, looking promising.
Everyone who was cheering for fighting and war in
#Panjshir
you should shame yourself, so many lives have been lost in a senseless fight, which could have been avoided.
Scenes from across Afghanistan. Losing count of how many Afghan soldiers & militiamen have surrendered, registered and subsequently released. The level of surrender is unprecedented. The U.S. & NATO haven’t completed their withdrawal yet. Via

Afghanistan will see first Ramadan in 40 years without war in the coming days. This is a huge relief for a religious country like Afghanistan to observe such a spiritual & blessed month in peace.
Mullah Muhammad Omar’s son Mullah Yaqub, who has been leading the fight alongside Mullah Zakir from the Taliban’s military commission in a recent audio message re-encourages fighters on the ground this is the time of forgiveness and mercy.
Maybe you also follow up and sense why translators are seen as traitors and hated by ppl especially outside Kabul. This context highlights it once again.
This caught US, UN & EU & the government off guard. In this way Taliban also assure their public image to intl community, literally saying they haven’t fought their way and didn’t do a military takeover of the country.
Not only is Afghanistan’s new 200k+ army growing in numbers, but also government-contracted local weapon manufacturers, who are not only researching new defense system including air defense & modern warfare assets but are also making copies of U.S.-made large caliber weapons.
KPF and allied CIA trained paramilitary forces saying they will fight for Paktia’s Gardez & Khost city. KPF & pro-government cmdrs now Ahmadzai, Lawang, Baqi Zoy, Naqib & Totakhail now in Gardez putting up a stand. Saying they are in control of the provinces, not the government.
Taliban giving clear orders:
- not fighting for Kabul
- not entering Kabul
- everyone’s life, wealth & property is secure
- no revenge
- security, peace of ppl important
- forgiveness & mercy
- stay where you are
- formation of new Govt (everyone’s rights are respected) soon
Just had calls with friend in Khost. Everything is calm & people are relieved about security, peace and disbanding of KPF. They enjoying national independence day with Attans, food & invitations and Taliban fined few ppl for disruption of peace during yesterday’s protests.

After opposing the current interim Afghan government and supporting anti-AFG elements, Tajikistan has finally given up on it’s stance. The regime in Dushanbe will handover the Afghan embassy to the new government & Tajik side is looking to mutual trade agreements. A move seen

A new army that is battle-hardened, created from the ashes & a unification of former enemies (with both members of the Taliban & former regime forces) is both terrifying & a bold statement of the new government of Afghanistan. The 200k strong army will be called by

Taliban issue death sentence for brother of Afghan translator who helped US troops, according to letters obtained by CNN
"These court decisions are final and you will not have the right to object," the third letter reads.
Also the intel the foreign forces received was provided by ppl like
@amrullahsaleh2
who hated Paahtuns or others who had personal enmity, on basis of such intel were whole villages razed to the ground. The U.S. believed it actually was destroying Al Qaeda & allies.
Just got info that envoys (tribal elders, scholars) have been sent to Khost, Laghman & Nangarhar. Either to night or tomorrow in the morning things will change. Taliban want the provinces handed over without fighting.
Panjshir militiamen are now about to cut into two pockets, there is push from north & south towards the main road. From west their are pounding the defensive positions.
November 2001 ~ 2,000 Taliban prisoners are believed to have been killed in container trucks by US-allied Afghan troops, operating with US forces, and buried in a mass grave in Dasht-e-Leili,

Investigators discovered the mass grave in 2002
Just now, TTP & tribesmen launched large scale attack in the early morning hours against Pakistani forces. I can’t disclose location now, until further confirmation & reports. Still trying to confirm.
Celebrations lit the night sky after the last U.S. aircraft took off from the airport in Kabul unannounced, roughly 24 hours before the withdrawal deadline (photo via

#LoyaJirgaNow
. Afghans can now save the country from further destruction, violence & displacement. Ordinary Afghans can pressure their local tribal elders & sent them with their message to a Loya Jirga, where the Afghan parties and the Taliban should talk.

- Taliban have carried out summary executions/revenge
YOU ARE CAUSING IMMENSE FEAR, PANIC AND TERROR.
At this moment there is no more “Afghan government” the government has collapsed - this is some rogue paramilitary forces taking the matters into their own hands. I have reports of preliminary clashes, if fighting begins, know that Sirajuddin Haqqani will have to green light it.

This is how Afghanistan is now, people finally can do more than be happy about being alive or returning home alive. AFG is moving towards not only enduring peace, prosperity but also happiness:
1/10th of the sanctions and support Ukraine received against Russia would have saved 10 000s of lives in Syria against Russian & Assad regime war crimes.
Protestors in Khost & Jalalabad took to the streets in a first under new rulers. In Jalalabad the protest turned violent, Taliban forces used live fire in the air to disperse protesters. Reports there are injuries & even deaths. In Khost it went mostly calm & without incidents.

Dozens of armored vehicles, weapons & equipment being surrendered. Militiamen & soldiers are being encouraged to surrender through well placed propaganda footage like this. And it is working.

Finally after 15 years watering our family garden in our village in Paktia, without fighting and fear of drones, airstrikes and CIA-death squads, who kept our families away.
Afghanistan is breathing a new life in security. This is life past midnight in western Herat like in many other places. This scene is surreal to many Afghans who have seen 40 years of violence, war and death.
All girls will be going back to school also in Paktia province, after Balkh, Sar-e-Pul, Kunduz and Badakhshan provinces. The fifth province to fully open girls schools.

A group of about 20 women in Kabul city with a population of about 5 million, do not represent the entire society & nor the hardship it is facing as a whole. Especially not, when these women slur in support of certain party, ethnicity or political affiliation or call for war.
Afghan embassies oversea will be looking into the cases, where Pakistanis have been using Afghan documents to obtain asylum in EU, U.S. & beyond. Pakistanis are not eligible for political asylum in EU. They have been using Afghan documents according to intel sources.
I have an estimation in terms of military might in
#Panjshir
:
• 500 - 3000 militiamen, soldiers and recruits not even close to 10 000.
• 6 aircrafts ( 2 MD530, 2 Blackhawks, 2 Mi-17)
• at max 200 vehicles, humvees and ford rangers, few M1117.
If the Taliban attack, Panjshir can’t resist more than 48 hours maximum. The Taliban are doing their best to control it without a single bullet fire, just like Nangarhar and Kabul. For the time being, the Taliban are busy with other important things, having no hurries for it.
I desperately want to live in a world where WOMEN feel safe & comfortable wearing WHATEVER they choose & our outfits & bodies are not sites of continuous political contestation or basis for claims of religious/cultural superiority. Knowing that concepts like choice are complex.
Afghan special forces have reached AfPak Durand Line after escalation in Kunar province. If Pakistan continues shelling this night, 100s of forces are on border, telling me they are awaiting orders & are ready to open another front.
Remember the Afghan government of Ashraf Ghani had almost every Taliban commander announced dead in airstrikes or raids, who have now resurfaced & have taken positions in the interim government.
Now comes the question who were the ANDSF & NDS killing all those years?
Now every Afghan child must have blue or other unique eye color to get worlds attention and help others are left in the misery and hardship they are facing.
Disinformation around Afghanistan coverage is unabated, pro-Ghani supporters are sharing gruesome, graphic images & videos of what look like actual/recent, in many cases turn out to be fabricated, from anti-Taliban propaganda films such as Osama, Kate Runner or not even from AFG:
These kinds actions by the U.S.-led coalition fueled the Iraqi & Afghan insurgency and left a clear mark on Muslims across the globe. The Russians are not the lesser evil.
Taliban-led Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is outperforming in two years the former regime’s decades of progress with billions of yearly income from foreign aid.
Train link between Iran & Afghanistan inaugurated.
Eduction is important they said.
Now that Afghan women are going back to university - which is a good thing - Afghan “liberals” showing that they are bunch toxic intolerant morons.
I just realized that the war in Afghanistan is over. This is what many of us were longing. I just realized that i can travel to any corner of the country. THIS IS WHAT I AM GONNA DO -FINALLY-.

. Use this hashtag & tell me what you plan to do once the crisis are overcome.
I hope for peace in Afghanistan in my lifetime. I want to try at least once to travel from Kabul to Jalalabad, through Torkham and the Khyber Pass to Pekhawar.
Anyone with verified info on house searches, locations, dates, times and missing ppl in raids by Taliban forces please share with me via DM, DM's are open. Investigating it with sources on the ground.
Please verify any claims coming out from Afghanistan with multiple sides & people on the ground. There are acts of revenge, but reports of atrocities (especially as Taliban are freeing 10 000s of surrendering soldiers, militiamen & police) or on women have turned out to be false.
From there unto the world. Chabahar port offers to both Afghanistan and Iran great opportunities for trade & economic growth.
India,other south-east asian countries & Afghanistan will use this as a key trading hub for future. Pakistan is no longer playing a transnational role.
The economic crisis in Afghanistan actually shows that for 20 years it was based on mere dependency, not even in 100 years it would become sustainable. There are more journalists/human righter (bc it paid off), than engineers/scientists. There is no industry & no organic growth.
The silence on today’s devastating bombing in Herat by human rights organizations, activists & others who regularly comment on Afghan issues is deafening. It’s just underlines that you are hypocrites.

طالبان شماری از جوانان پنجشیر را از بخش های از کابل با خورد برده اند. منابعی می گویند که طالبان می خواهند این جوانان را با طالبانی که در پنجشیر از سوی جبهه مقاومت اسیر گرفته شده اند، مبادله کنند.

This is the discourse on Afghanistan rn. Sharing (years old) graphic footage to support ones narrative. Some even actually shows like below pro-government militiamen (Abdul Raziq/Tadeen‘s) executing civilians. Here portrayed as Taliban because they have “Kandahari Pashto accent”.
Graphic Video⚠️
Taliban’s atrocities in Kandahar is evident in this video. Two Taliban fighters with Kandahari Pashto accent curse and shoot three to four people.
Once Afghanistan’s Wakhan corridor with China takes effect Afghanistan will reduce vegetable & fruit supplies to Pakistan. Torkham will be no longer route for transfer of goods to India, China & beyond. There are many more measures they will take effect once the dust settled.
