Anaba or Anabah District is a district of Panjshir Province, Afghanistan. The estimated population in 2019 was 19,978. ^[1]

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]}
