Editorial:

Pakistan must press Kabul diplomatically over its tolerance of TTP terrorism


Afghan Taliban must recognise that harbouring groups like TTP will only increase global scrutiny and isolate them further

February 17, 2025

THE latest report of the UN Security Council’s sanctions monitoring team paints a grim picture of the banned TTP’s growing operational capacity.

It says that “the status and strength of TTP in Afghanistan had not changed”, but its attacks on Pakistan have “significantly increased, with over 600 attacks during the reporting period [July-December], including from Afghan territory”. This underscores Pakistan’s long-standing concern at Afghan soil being used for cross-border violence.


Despite the Afghan Taliban’s reassurance that their territory would not be used for terrorism against any country, the report confirms that they “continued to provide TTP with logistical and operational space and financial support”, including funds for the TTP leadership and the creation of new training centres in Kunar, Nangarhar, Khost, and Paktika provinces. Such support undermines Pakistan’s security and further strains its ties with Kabul.

Pakistan’s ambassador to the UN Munir Akram had also warned the UNSC that the TTP was now “an umbrella organisation” for various militant actors, increasing the risk of regional instability. The report corroborates this, noting that the TTP’s coordination with Al Qaeda and other extremist outfits “might transform [TTP] into an extra-regional threat”.

Islamabad has historically pursued a dual-track approach to dealing with the TTP menace — diplomatic engagement with Kabul alongside military action against the terrorists.

However, with the Taliban’s continued reluctance to take concrete action against the TTP, Pakistan has also resorted to cross-border strikes against militant hideouts in Afghanistan. While such operations may provide short-term relief, unilateral military actions are not a sustainable solution. They risk worsening relations with Afghanistan and complicating broader stability.

Pakistan must intensify its diplomatic engagement with Kabul, stressing that its tolerance of the TTP is a serious breach of regional peace and bilateral trust. The Afghan Taliban leadership, in turn, must recognise that harbouring groups like the TTP will only increase global scrutiny and isolate them further.

Unfortunately, instead of accepting the realities detailed in the report, the Afghan Taliban have rejected the findings, dismissing them as propaganda. This can only be perceived as a sheer unwillingness to act, an approach that has implications not only for the Pak-Afghan relationship but also regional security. The international community must continue to ramp up the pressure.

Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar sought the United Nations’ support for counter-terrorism efforts in Pakistan during a meeting with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in New York on Tuesday.

The meeting comes a day after Dar addressed a high-level UN Security Council debate calling for a unified, non-discriminatory approach to combat terrorism and rejecting “double standards” in dealing with extremist threats.

According to today’s statement by the Foreign Office, Dar highlighted “cross-border terrorism from Afghanistan” and called for support against “terrorism within and from Afghanistan.”

He reiterated Pakistan’s desire to provide humanitarian support to the millions of impoverished Afghans and to promote its economic development, including implementing connectivity projects between Central Asia and Pakistan through Afghanistan.

Islamabad has consistently voiced concerns that the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) uses Afghan soil to launch attacks in Pakistan, asking the Afghanistan government to rein in the group. Kabul denies the allegations.

A UN report on Saturday revealed that the Afghan Taliban’s continued support for the banned TTP, despite Islamabad’s increasing pressure to cease backing the outfit, was fuelling the group’s escalating attacks in Pakistan.

Earlier, Dar underscored that terrorism remained a significant impediment to strengthening ties with Afghanistan, stating, “Terrorism is a major irritant in our relationship [with Kabul]”.

Khawarij's attempt to attack Pakistan Army post failed.

The chalked and white-collared sentry at the post advanced towards the Khawarij post and pointed it out, firing mortars from the post, killing two Khawarij.

After the attack failed, the Khawarij tried to flee, to which the QRF pursued them and targeted the fleeing Khawarij.

The Khawarij who escaped and hid in the forest were sent to hell by a cordoned copter.

In this operation, 5 Khawarij were condemned to hell.

This is a clear message for the Khawarij that any attack will be met with a ticket to hell on the spot.
