Biography

Hasib Qoway Markaz or (Hasib Panjshiri) was born on January 28, 1992, in Abdara, Panjshir province. In 2014, after completing higher military education, he entered the special units of the (National Directorate of Security). Hasib left the NDS in 2018. Later in 2019, he broadcast a video tape and claimed that the NDS asked him to assassinate six of the country's elites,[1] but he refused.[2] After these statements, the National Security Directorate of Afghanistan issued a warrant for his arrest. In a statement, the Ministry of Interior accused Hasib of three murders.[3] and stated that he will be arrested soon. On March 24, 2019, special forces of National Directorate of Security (NDS) and the Ministry of Interior of Afghanistan(MOA) went to Panjshir province to arrest him. After several hours of fighting, the Afghan Ministry of Interior announced that the operation to capture Hasib by the central forces had failed.

After the fall of the Republic of Afghanistan on August 15, 2021, the central forces with the forces under his command, led by Ahmad Massoud, prepared for armed defense against the Taliban. With frequent Taliban attacks on Panjshir Valley and bloody conflicts in this province, he was able to inflict heavy casualties on the Taliban,[4] but due to the lack of ammunition, lack of sufficient forces and the breaking of the battle lines by Taliban infiltrators, the central forces with the forces under his command had to retreat.[5]
