Kabul, Sep 6: The Afghan resistance group, which has waged an intense battle against the Taliban in the Panjshir Valley, has called for ceasefire. This comes after reports of them suffering heavy losses during the war. The leader of the group said he is open to enter peace talks. Ahmad Massoud said he supported a plan, put forward by religious clerics, for a negotiated settlement, and called on the Taliban to end their offensive. Earlier, reports suggested the Taliban had rapidly gained ground in Panjshir. In a post on Facebook, Massoud said the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan (NRF), which includes former Afghan security force members and local militias, would be prepared to stop fighting if the Taliban ceased their attacks, the BBC reported on Monday. Panjshir, a rugged mountain valley, is home to between 1.5 lakh and 2 lakh people.
