Spokesmen for the National Resistance Front, a group of Afghan soldiers still loyal to the previous government that has waged a guerilla war against the Taliban since the group’s takeover, claimed over the weekend that they had launched an armed offensive and captured three districts in the country’s northern Panjshir province.
The action was the first coordinated offensive against the Taliban since August, according to Ali Nazary, the group’s designated head of foreign relations.
“Since last night when Ahmad Massoud … ordered his forces to launch their offensive, three major districts were liberated in Panjshir,” Nazary said, referring to Ahmad Massoud, the NRF’s overall military commander. “Many Taliban fighters have asked for time to surrender. The enemy has suffered heavy casualties.”
