AS much mistrust marks Pakistan’s relations with the Afghan Taliban, Kabul’s rulers are reaching out to regional states in order to break out from their isolation and deepen economic ties.

While no one has formally recognised the Taliban regime, states are doing business with Kabul just short of recognition. In a significant development, the Taliban foreign minister met the Indian foreign secretary in Dubai recently, with the Afghan side describing India as a “significant regional and economic partner.”

Trade relations were apparently the key area of discussion. It should be remembered that India was a major player in Afghanistan before the 2021 Taliban takeover. According to media reports, New Delhi had pumped $3bn into Afghanistan for ‘reconstruction’ projects, and the erstwhile Northern Alliance members had warm relations with India. The Indians have reacted cautiously with the Taliban, but matters are proceeding nonetheless. The Taliban also maintain significant links with China and Russia.

These developments should concern Pakistan, and make its policymakers revisit their Afghan strategy. The stark fact is that while the Afghan Taliban may be difficult customers, Pakistan cannot afford a hostile neighbour to its west. Islamabad’s concerns about TTP bases in Afghanistan are valid, but it needs to perhaps change its strategy with the Taliban so that the message sinks in.

At a recent seminar in Islamabad, some experts were of the view that instead of communicating with the rulers in Kabul, Pakistan must raise the TTP issue with the Taliban leadership in Kandahar, from where the real power in Afghanistan flows.

Though Taliban supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada is a reclusive figure, if Pakistan were to successfully engage him or those close to him, and convince them to relocate the TTP and other anti-Pakistan terrorists away from the border, this might improve the security situation in the country with minimum costs. Such moves have been tried before — with limited success — when the Taliban leadership issued a fatwa in 2023 stopping its cadres from waging a ‘jihad’ inside Pakistan.

The Taliban are welcome to keep the TTP, as long as they pose no harm to Pakistan. The present strategy — limited talks with and kinetic action against Kabul — has failed to resolve the problem. As others are making diplomatic inroads with the Afghan Taliban, including unfriendly governments, Pakistan must reassess and readjust its strategy.

Islamabad should work with other regional states to stress that the Taliban must take stronger counterterrorism measures, so that militant groups cannot threaten Afghanistan’s neighbours. Yet it must also engage the Taliban high command in Kandahar, as well as the politicians in Kabul, so that the doors of negotiation are not closed. If relations sour further with Afghanistan, it will add to insecurity in this country, and give hostile states room to manoeuvre.

Pakistan has been negotiating with the taliban and afghans for decades. It has ONLY resulted in them seeing Pakistan as weak and they have continued their terrorism against us for decades. The afghan ONLY understands ONE language. Brute force and hostility. Nothing else. It's about time Pakistan defended it self.

Well said.

From a country where during the jummah khutba the speaker uses such a language that not even a hindu dares to use against us, one cannot accept good, only evil has come out of aghanistan, at least for Pakistan.

Its time that our leaders get their heads out of each other asses to focus on lingering threats challenging Pakistan, including aghanistan.
Bcz at this point there is no denying that afghani soil is hostile towards us.

As seen here in this thread, for some Pakistani's Afghan peshaab is Mountain Dew, jab apne log hi Chutiye hun tu Afghano se kia Gila karen ?

afghans/taliban are more hindutva than the indians themselves. They are NOT in any way Muslim or Islamic. afghans are ethnofacists like the israelis. They believe in "greater afghania" which means taking territory from Pakistan and Iran. Only difference is they don't have the massive power or dominance that the israelis do.

The Afghans can be quite reasonable when talking to others, with Pakistan however they are morons,

They expect us to look after millions of Afghans
Allow them to use our ports and infrastructure
Are racist to our people
.if this wasn't bad enough they allow anti Pakistan terrorist to group, train, obtain weapons and then attack us

Then we have Afghan wannabes tell us don't respond to repeated attacks and hitting them back is a escalation

Ridiculous people

That's because they consider our hospitality, help, assistance and restraint as weakness. They also consider Pakistani territory as their own. The problem is, is that we are not killing enough of the ttp terrorists and their afghan backers. Once we start killing them and their family members en-masse, they will stop. That is the ONLY language the afghan understands. Pakistan is too slow to respond. That is the biggest hurdle. Make NO MISTAKE about it, the afghans are JUST AS much as an enemy of the Pakistani people and nation as the indians are.

ALL afghans in Pakistan need to be sent back home. The Pakistan/afghan border needs to be permanently sealed with huge concrete walls. Nothing comes in or goes out. Watch how afghanistan survives then.

Killing ttp's foot soldiers has become very costly we cannot sustain this low level insurgency forver. The only way to stop them, as you said is by taking out their leadership and training apparatus be it in Afghanistan or india.
But to be able to do that you need a strong leadership, which Pakistan is now lacking. Even now when Afghanistan is literally attacking us our foreign office hasnt done anything to justify our strikes in Afghanistan.

Ttp's handler are sitting comfortably in New Delhi sipping cow piss while our intelligence agency is busy we all know where.
Untill they dont realise how costly is killing innocent Pakistanis, they wont stop.
Ttp will continue to recruit brain dead individuals from tribal belt and afghanistan.
Im not saying we should start killing innocent indians, but could and should start target killing their intelligence and military commanders just like they do on our soil, and pls dont tell me that we dont have money to do this, its simply not true.

Afghan spy dies on Pak-Afghan border

January 11, 2025 Major success of security forces near the Pak-Afghan border

Security forces carried out a successful operation and killed an Afghan spy who was fleeing Afghanistan.

The terrorist who was sent to hell was identified as *Muhammad Khan Ahmed Khel son of Haji Muhammad Qasim Dawran Khan*,

The 48-year-old terrorist, Muhammad Khan alias Abdullah, was a resident of Paktika province in Afghanistan.

Afghan identity card also recovered from slain Afghan terrorist
Sources

The slain terrorist, Mohammad Khan alias Abdullah, was working in Pakistan for the Afghan intelligence agency.

Terrorist Muhammad Khan used to smuggle arms and ammunition from Afghanistan to terrorists in Qila Saifullah, Zhob and Loralai in Pakistan.

Smuggled weapons were used in terrorist attacks in Pakistan,

The fabric of terrorism in Pakistan for a long time now resembles Afghanistan.

Pakistan has repeatedly provided evidence of terrorism to the Afghan interim government, but the Afghan government has failed to take any effective action against foreign terrorists.

Pakistan has evidence of numerous incidents of infiltration and terrorism from Afghanistan.

After this solid evidence, the Afghan government's hollow claims have once again been exposed to the world.

The Afghan government must abandon its double-dealing strategy and crack down on foreign terrorists.

Evidence of the use of foreign weapons brought from Afghanistan on Pakistani soil has once again surfaced.

The Pakistan Army has been engaged in a war against terrorism for the past two decades.

Recently, there has been an increase in terrorist incidents in Pakistan originating from Afghan territory.

Terrorists from Afghanistan attempt to infiltrate through the Pak-Afghan border and target both security forces and innocent civilians.

It is evident that:
"Terrorists have access to weapons left behind by the US in Afghanistan."

The supply of weapons to terrorists has significantly undermined regional security.

According to details of recent operations, two separate intelligence-based operations were carried out in the Dosali area of North Waziristan on January 11, 2025.

During these operations, six terrorists (Khawarij) were killed, while two were captured.

Another intelligence-based operation was conducted in the Isham area of North Waziristan.

Following a fierce exchange of fire, security forces killed three terrorists, while two were injured.

A large cache of foreign weapons, ammunition, and explosives—including AK-47s, M4 rifles, and Dragunov sniper rifles—was recovered from the terrorists' possession.

On December 9, 2024, security forces conducted an intelligence-based operation in the Kalachi area of Dera Ismail Khan based on information about the presence of terrorists (Khawarij).

As a result, two terrorists were killed, while a foreign militant was captured in an injured state.

A large quantity of foreign weapons, ammunition, and explosives—including M16-A2 rifles, M4 rifles, and AK-47s—was seized.

On November 10, 2024, an intelligence-based operation was carried out by security forces in the Spin Wam area of North Waziristan, during which ten terrorists were killed.

A significant stockpile of foreign weapons, ammunition, and explosives—including M16-A4 rifles, M4 rifles, and AMV-65 rifles—was also recovered.

The smuggling of modern foreign weapons from Afghanistan to Pakistan and their use by the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) against Pakistan's security forces and civilians raises serious concerns regarding the Afghan interim government's claims of preventing such activities on its soil.

The US supplied 427,300 combat weapons, of which 300,000 were still present at the time of the withdrawal, according to the Pentagon.

Consequently, the region has witnessed a surge in terrorist activities over the past two years.

Between 2005 and August 2021, the US provided $18.6 billion worth of equipment to the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces, according to Pentagon reports.

Following the US withdrawal, these weapons enabled the TTP to carry out cross-border terrorist attacks.

All these facts suggest that the Afghan interim government is not only arming the TTP but also offering a safe haven to other terrorist organizations.

Six terrorists from the Gul Bahadur group and eleven from the Noor Wali Mehsud group were reportedly killed in an exchange of fire between Hafiz Gul Bahadur group and Noor Wali Mehsud group in Barmal, Khost, Afghanistan last night.

It should be remembered that recent internal differences between the two groups have intensified.
