Taliban officials claim that “for the first time,” 152 religious scholars and Hafiz have graduated from a jihadist school in Panjshir.
The spokesperson for the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum of the Taliban, in a veiled reference, posted on the social media platform, mentioned that Panjshir was the same province where the group’s opponents were once active.
Panjshir was the last province to fall to the Taliban in 2021. It is known as a traditional stronghold of armed forces opposing the Taliban.
The National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, which declared its presence in Panjshir in August 2021 after the escape of former President Ashraf Ghani, has continued its guerilla attacks against the Taliban in various Afghan provinces.
However, a recent report on the group’s military activities in the past six months indicates a decrease in their operations in Panjshir.
After gaining full control of Afghanistan in 2021, the Taliban has embarked on establishing religious schools and mosques across the country.
Last year in April, the Taliban announced the establishment of a “Jihadist School” in the Anaba district of Panjshir. At that time, the group stated its intention to enrol a thousand “religious students” in this school.
