On 5 September 2021, Taliban spokesperson Bilal Karimi said that the four districts of Panjshir Province had been captured, including Anabah District.[2]
However, Panjshir Resistance spokesman Ali Maisam Nazary later made unverified claims that 60% of the entire province was still under National Resistance Front control.[3]
On 6 October 2021, the NRF claimed it had stormed the district and liberated it. It claimed to have killed over 50 Taliban and wounded over 20 Taliban fighters.[4][5]

A Surgical and Paediatric Centre and a Maternity Centre are run by the Italian non-governmental organisation Emergency in Anaba since 1999. This was the first intervention by Emergency in Afghanistan, and also serves as a centre of operations for smaller posts across the valley and neighbouring provinces.[6][7]
