History

As of 17 August, the Panjshir Valley was — according to one observer — "under siege on all sides" but had not come under direct attack.[2]

Resolution of conflict

As of August 2021, no military conflict had occurred in Panjshir Province and a negotiated end to the political impasse has been discussed, with Saleh calling for a "peace deal" with the Taliban.[3][4] On 18 August, Zahir Aghbar, the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan's ambassador to Tajikistan, indicated the possibility of including the Taliban in a coalition government as a means of diffusing the stalemate.[5]
