    A Summary of Jihadi Progress in Panjsher Province | Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

    8/3/2019 A summary of Jihadi progress in Panjsher province | Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan A summary of Jihadi progress in Panjsher province Panjsher province is situated in the north of our beloved homeland, at the distance of 120 km from capital city Kabul. This strategic province shares its boundaries with six other provinces of the country, i.e. Kapisa, Parwan, Baghlan, Takhar, Badakhshan and Nuristan provinces. ‘Shatal’ district of this province has joining boundary with Parwan province. The strategic ‘Salang’ pass and the historic and the magnificent chain of ‘Hindu Kush’ mountains traverse through these two provinces (i.e. Parwan and Panjsher) by connecting north of the country with its center and southern parts. During the Soviet invasion of eighties, these strategic places were turned into burning points and it was quite difficult for the then foreign invaders as well as for their internal communist stooges to cross the area peacefully without suffering heavy casualties and significant financial losses. The same is the case today, as the American invaders and their internal mercenaries are deeply troubled and concerned about the huge and active presence of the heroic Mujahidin of the Islamic Emirate in the above-mentioned two provinces. ‘Paryan’ district of ‘Panjsher’ province is connected with ‘Kiraan & Manjan’ district of the northern most Badakhshan province. During the reign of the Islamic Emirate, this route remained opened as a main supply line from the north for the then warlords of the area. By the grace of Allah Almighty, now this strategic pass is completely controlled by the courageous Mujahidin of the Islamic Emirate and all kinds of enemy’s movements are ceased in the area.
