Despite years of unprecedented support, hosting over 5 million Afghan refugees, promoting regional trade, and advocating for Kabul’s financial relief, Pakistan today faces an orchestrated campaign of terrorism from Afghan soil.

The Afghan Taliban’s inaction against TTP and BLA sanctuaries has turned “brotherly ties” into a one-sided test of Pakistan’s patience.

Pakistan–Afghanistan border clashes are neither sudden nor unjustified.

When the Taliban took Kabul in 2021, the entire world vacated its embassies, Pakistan kept its mission open and even acted as a conduit for evacuees during the chaotic withdrawal.

In the post-US withdrawal UN-led conferences on Afghanistan, Pakistan consistently called for unfreezing Afghanistan’s $9 billion assets, and even used regional forums like ECO to lobby for the same.

Pakistan hoped for peace and stability. Instead, Afghanistan became a safe haven for TTP militants.

Yet, despite repeated betrayals, Pakistan tried every peaceful route. It engaged the Taliban regime through religious, tribal, and official channels.


In July 2022, an 8-member ulema delegation led by Mufti Taqi Usmani visited Kabul to convince TTA and TTP to stop attacks. A few days later, a 17-member tribal jirga also went to Kabul with the same message.

On February 22, 2023, a high-level delegation led by Defence Minister Khawaja Asif and DG ISI Lt Gen Nadeem Anjum visited Kabul to push for peace.

In July 2024, Interior Minister Naqvi led another delegation for security cooperation.

Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts weren’t empty words. Special Envoy Muhammad Sadiq worked to enhance trade ties, leading to the Early Harvest Programme (EHP) reducing tariffs on eight key agricultural items to benefit both sides.

But what did Pakistan get in return?

According to Pakistan Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS) data:
•2021: 89 attacks
•2022: 262 attacks
•2023: 306 attacks
•2024: 521 attacks
•2025 (Jan–Oct): 585 attacks

The worst betrayal came during Pakistan’s 4-day war with India in May 2025, when Afghanistan sent a 40-member TTP tashkeel, including the son of a Taliban official, to attack from the western front.


What triggered Pakistan’s recent strikes? Just one day is enough to understand.

On October 8, 12 soldiers, including a Lt Col and two Majors, were martyred in IBOs in Orakzai and D.I. Khan, carried out by TTP militants from Afghanistan.

Pakistan’s patience had run out.

Pakistan’s recent strikes were targeted and precise, aimed only at TTP terrorists being hosted in Afghanistan.

How did the Taliban respond?

By sending groups like Tahaffuz-e-Imarat-e-Islami Force (TIF) to attack the Police Training School in D.I. Khan, martyred seven policemen, and by launching a full blown cross border attack across Af-Pak Border.

Now decide for yourself.

Is Pakistan the aggressor, or a state defending its people from cross-border terrorism?

Days after a brief period of calm along the Pak-Afghan border, fresh clashes erupted in the Kurram sector as Pakistani security forces retaliated against unprovoked firing from Afghan Taliban regime and members of the militant group “Fitna al-Khawarij,” security sources confirmed on Tuesday.

According to the sources, Afghan Taliban fighters opened indiscriminate fire on Pakistani positions, prompting a strong and decisive response from the Pakistan Army. The retaliatory strikes reportedly inflicted significant damage on multiple Taliban posts, with fires breaking out across the border.

Security officials said two Taliban tanks were destroyed, and fighters were seen fleeing their positions, leaving behind several bodies of their fallen comrades.

In another engagement within the Kurram sector, the Army targeted and destroyed another Taliban post and tank position with precision fire.

During what officials described as a “highly professional and skilful operation,” a moving Taliban tank was struck and destroyed. Footage of the destroyed tank is reportedly available.

The latest exchange followed a two-day lull, with sources confirming that another Taliban post and tank position were eliminated in the ongoing operations. In an intense engagement at the Shamshad post, the Army destroyed a fourth tank position within an hour, underscoring the pace and intensity of the response.

Security sources further confirmed that in Afghanistan’s Khost province, a fifth tank position at Nargasar Post was also destroyed along with the tank and its crew.

Pakistan’s security forces also reportedly killed a key commander of Fitna al-Khawarij during the ongoing action. The militant fighters — both Taliban regime and their affiliates — were said to be in a state of panic and disarray, abandoning their posts in haste.

According to security officials, military operations against the Afghan Taliban and Fitna al-Khawarij are continuing with full force, focusing on eliminating hostile threats near the border and ensuring regional security.

The renewed fighting follows last week’s confrontation on the night of October 11–12, when Afghan Taliban forces, supported by “Indian-sponsored elements of Fitna al-Khawarij,” launched an unprovoked attack along the border.
 
Extremist ideologies can’t be bombed out of existence... they need political and social solutions. The sooner you grasp that, the fewer officers you’ll be burying..


You can’t Deradicalize them. It’s pretty impossible on a larger scale, only few individuals can be deradicalized, most of them are already too far gone. Unfortunately.
 
Extremist ideologies can’t be bombed out of existence... they need political and social solutions. The sooner you grasp that, the fewer officers you’ll be burying..
It's their culture, it's not just an extremist ideology that's been imported there.

The claims to Pakistani lands, the oppression of women, the violence, decentralized power, it's Afghan culture.
 

Security forces repel attack along Balochistan border, 15-20 Afghan Taliban killed: ISPR

October 15, 2025

Security forces repulsed an attack by the Afghan Taliban along the Balochistan border on Wednesday, killing around 15 to 20 Afghan Taliban, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.

According to a statement by the ISPR, Afghan Taliban “resorted to cowardly attack at four locations in [the] Spin Boldak area” in the early hours of Wednesday. “The attack was effectively repulsed by Pakistani forces,” the statement said.

It added that as Pakistani troops repelled the attack,15 to 20 Afghan Taliban were killed and several others were injured.

“The situation is still developing. There are reports of further buildup at staging points of Fitna-al-Khwarij and [the] Afghan Taliban,” the statement said.

Fitna-al-Khwarij is the state-designated term for the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

The ISPR said that the attack from the Afghan side was “unfortunately […] orchestrated through divided villages in the area, with no regard for [the] civil population”.

“The Afghan Taliban also destroyed the Pak-Afghan Friendship Gate on their side, which clearly displays the mindset with regard to mutual trade and easement rights of the divided tribes,” it added.

Kabul got a beating of it's life
 
Those Pakistanis and wider muslim communities that are condemning the violence between two muslims and accusing Pakiatan of massacres. Where was there condemnation when thousands of Pak soldiers, police and civilians had perished by TTP, BLA terror attacks? Total silence. This shows you nobody cares for Pakistanis being slained. Pakistan must take up arms and be more assertive!
