Kabul, Afghanistan: The first time the whole of Afghanistan is now under the control of the Taliban as Panjshir province has fallen to them. During their regime, the Taliban failed to conquer Panjshir Valley when Ahmad Shah Masooud was alive. Taliban failed to enter Valley during their four-year regime. The major reason for failures was that Taliban were considered as sole Pushtun ethnic group while today several Taliban commanders belong to northern Afghanistan.
