PANJSHIR, AFGHANISTAN - On 16th August, Taliban forces completely captured Kabul and overturned the Ghani government. Taliban before overturning the government, captured almost all of the provinces and major cities. Taliban however were and still are unable to capture the Panjshir valley located just about 100 kilometers away from Kabul.
This is largely due to the Panjshir's strategic location...
