For a long time, fighters in Panjshir have prevented the capture of the region from foreign forces by firing a heavy machine gun into a deep valley from the top of the rocky mountain.These fighters are from the National Resistance Front (NRF), the remaining strongest force after the siege of Kabul by the Taliban.
