Panjshir Valley repeatedly plays a decisive role in Afghan military history with a particularly almost perfectly separated geographical position with the rest of the country.
Featured with natural defense capabilities, this area in Hindu Kush mountains did not fall into Taliban's hands in the civil war in the 1990s as well as without being conquered by the Soviet before.
The valley has about 150,000 people and mainly belongs to the Tajik ethnic group, while most Taliban is Pashtun.

Today, I wrote from the Panjshir valley, ready to follow his father's footsteps, with Mujahideen warriors, who are willing to once again stand up against the Taliban, Massoud announced.
Russia on August 19 also emphasized a protest movement forming in Panjshir valley by Saleh and Massoud.
However, no way this anti-Taliban movement is so strong and how new rulers in Kabul will react.
If the Taliban keeps the word, the Panjshir valley will be safe because the war has ended in Afghanistan.
