Afghanistan: Resistance leader says open to peace talks with Taliban

The province is the most prominent example of resistance to Taliban rule in Afghanistan

Ahmad Massoud said he supported a plan, put forward by religious clerics, for a negotiated settlement, and called on the Taliban to end their offensive.The province, north of the capital Kabul, is the most prominent example of resistance to Taliban rule. In a post on Facebook, Mr Massoud said the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan , which includes former Afghan security force members and local militias, would be prepared to stop fighting if the Taliban ceased their attacks.Panjshir, a rugged mountain valley, is home to between 150,000 and 200,000 people. It was a centre of resistance when Afghanistan was under Soviet occupation in the 1980s and during the Taliban's previous period of rule, between 1996 and 2001.

Meanwhile in Kabul, UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths met Taliban leaders and urged them to protect all civilians, especially women, girls and minorities. He was pictured with Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, one of the founders of the Taliban movement.

Indian trolls and misguided foreigners try in vain to blame Pakistan for Afghan problems but its not working..Taliban have ousted occupying force and are being welcomed on the whole, save a few corrupt warlords and previous regime collaborators..

The Taliban are in control of most of the valley already. MI6 asset, Massoud will be forced to surrender. CIA death squad leader, Saleh will be executed.

Hey BBC why don’t you mention that the NI is under attack from the air by Pakistani armed drones. You know that Pakistan which is the biggest recipient of U.K. aid.

Why don’t you mention that they are getting bombed by Pakistani drones , the same Pakistan which is the biggest recipient of British foreign aid.

Not much of a resistance then.
