The Taliban said on Sunday (5) that they had gained ground in the Panshir Valley, the last great bastion of armed resistance to the new government in Afghanistan, where, according to Washington, civil war could break out.
Since US troops left the country on Aug. 30, Islamic movement forces have launched several offensives against this difficult-to-access valley, located about 80 km north of Kabul.
