Panjshir Resistance

The Panjshir Resistance is a group of Afghan fighters based in the Panjshir Valley who oppose the Taliban's control. Historically known for strong resistance, they aim to safeguard Afghanistan’s secular, democratic ideals and prevent Taliban rule from extending beyond the valley. Despite facing significant military pressure, they have maintained a symbolic and strategic position as defenders of Afghanistan’s diverse political and social values. Their efforts highlight ongoing opposition within Afghanistan to Taliban governance, representing resistance efforts rooted in local autonomy and previous experiences of conflict.
