The Taliban has integrated 600 men from Panjshir into its defense and interior ministries, with plans to recruit 1,500 more. Despite previous resistance from groups like the National Resistance Front and Afghanistan Freedom Front, opposition has diminished since the Taliban's return to power in August 2021.
