The situation in the Panchir Valley, one of the last pockets of resistance to the new Taliban regime in northern Afghanistan, could explain the delay announced on Saturday in presenting the new Afghan government.
In Afghanistan, the Taliban have again delayed announcing their government. Two Taliban sources warned AFP that there would be no announcement on Saturday, September 4. The situation in the Panchir, one of the last centers of armed opposition to the new regime, could explain the delay in presenting the new executive, initially expected to be unveiled the day before.
In Kabul on Friday evening, gusts sounded, fired to celebrate a Taliban victory in the Panchir that rumors, especially on social networks, said acquired. But the Taliban made no official announcement, and a Panchir resident told AFP by phone that the announcements were bogus. Resistance leaders in the valley denied to Reuters that they had lost control of the province.
According to the emergency services of the capital, two people were killed and 20 others injured in these joy shots. For its part, Reuters, citing Afghan television Shamshad, reported on Saturday at least 17 people killed in a shootout during the celebrations in Kabul. At least 14 people were also reportedly injured in bonfire in the eastern city of Jalalabad, according to the hospital spokesman, when interviewed by Reuters.
Excesses which led the chief spokesman of the Taliban, Zabihullah Mujahid, to urge his supporters to stop “shooting in the air” and to “thank God instead”. “Bullets can hurt civilians, don’t shoot unnecessarily,” he posted on Twitter.
کابل ښار او ټول هیواد کې د مجاهدینو د پام وړ:
له هوایي ډزو څخه جدا ډډه وکړئ او پر ځای یې د الله تعالی شکر اداء کړئ.
ستاسي په لاس کې وسله او مرمۍ بیت المال دي ، هیڅوک یې د ضائع کیدو حق نلري.
سړې مرمۍ عامو خلکو ته د زیان اړولولو قوي احتمال لري ؛ نو بناء بې ځایه ډزې مه کوئ.– Zabihullah (..ذبـــــیح الله م) (@ Zabehulah_M33) September 3, 2021
“The resistance continues”
Long-standing anti-Taliban stronghold, the enclaved and difficult-to-access Panchir Valley, located about 80 kilometers north of the capital, has been the scene, since the last American troops left the country on Monday, of fighting between the Taliban forces and the National Resistance Front (FNR).
A refugee in the Panchir Valley, former vice-president Amrullah Saleh spoke of a “very difficult situation” in a video message broadcast on Friday evening, while assuring that the “continued resistance[ait] and carry on[rait]”.
According to Ahmad Massoud, son of Commander Ahmed Shah Massoud assassinated in 2001 by Al-Qaeda, which leads the resistance in the valley, the Taliban have proposed to allocate two seats to the FNR in the next government. An offer that the resistance would not have “even considered”, declared Ahmad Massoud, believing that the Taliban had “chosen the path of war”.
Real “inclusiveness”?
Since their return to power after a lightning military offensive that caught the government and the international community by surprise, the Taliban have tried to show a moderate face and have stepped up their gestures of openness.
They have notably promised an “inclusive” government and have established contacts in recent weeks with Afghan personalities who are opposed to them, such as ex-president Hamid Karzai, or former vice-president Abdullah Abdullah.
Long awaited on the issue of women’s rights – the international community keeping in mind the brutality towards them during the first Taliban regime (1996-2001) – the new masters of the country assured that these rights would be respected. At the same time, they hinted that there might be no female ministers, their presence falling rather on the lower echelons. A perspective against which several activists rose up who demonstrated in Herat on Thursday and then in Kabul on Friday.
But nothing has filtered at this stage on their real intentions or on the place they intend to grant to representatives of the opposition or to minorities.
