Monitoring — Afghan Taliban Deputy Interior Minister Muhammad Nabi Umari during an address at khost has called for dialogue between the Pakistani government and the TTP to resolve the conflict.Umari stated that even if the Pakistani army were as large as one billion strong, it would not be able to end the war, and the TTP too could not emerge victorious against the state, even after a century of fighting. He further said that dialogue remains the only path to resolving the conflict.

Umari referred to those fighting against Pakistan as brothers and stated that, despite labeling their struggle as Jihad or war, Afghanistan does not interfere in their activities. He also addressed the TTP, noting that without the support of the local populace, they cannot achieve victory.

However, it is important to note that since the Taliban regime came into power in Afghanistan, the TTP has been operating freely from Afghan soil with strategic support from Afghan Taliban.

▪️They have recruited hundreds of Afghans to fight against Pakistan and are running several training camps unimpeded on Afghan soil.

▪️TTP leadership is currently residing in Afghanistan and is not facing any restrictions.

▪️Recently, a video surfaced showing an Afghan Taliban commander instructing TTP members on attacking Pakistani forces.

▪️Numerous Afghan citizens who were TTP members have been killed on Pakistani soil attacking Pakistan's security forces and citizens, including suicide bombers.

▪️The TTP is freely using Afghan territory and US leftover weaponry provided by Afghan Taliban to launch attacks on Pakistani people and their territory.

▪️While Afghanistan releases statements advocating for dialogue to conceal their true intentions, they must take action from their own side and cease sheltering and supporting the TTP.

▪️They should hand over key terrorist commanders residing in Afghanistan under Taliban shelter to Pakistan.

None of these will be actioned on by TTA.
 
Pakistan lacking in cognitive warfare (propaganda narratives)
Another issue is that apart from strategies to combat terrorist groups with military force, Pakistan has failed at the propaganda narrative (cognitive warfare) aspect to make these groups a social taboo and deter people from joining/supporting them.

For example, everyone in western societies condemns and hates ISIS, those who support it will be looked at as insane, evil and barbaric.

Pakistan needs to establish a social narrative of anti-Pakistan extremist terror groups being seen as a taboo in a similar fashion.

Monitoring —
The Afghanistan International reported that according to their sources in Ghazni, 12 people were killed in a drone strike in the Giro district last week.

▪️This contradicts the earlier claim by the Taliban, who stated that the casualties resulted from the explosion of an unexploded landmine.

▪️The Afghanistan International claimed that it obtained a copy of a letter indicating that the Taliban leader has called for an emergency meeting to address the drone attack and surveillance.

▪️According to AFIntl_En the drone strike resulted in casualties, including three Ministry of Mines employees, the son of a ministry commission member, two Taliban fighters, four women, and three children. The victims were reportedly investigating the presence of lithium in the area.

▪️Documents obtained by Afghanistan International revealed that one day after the drone attack, Governor Mullah Shirin Akhund convened an emergency military meeting under the directive of Taliban leader Hebatullah Akhundzada to investigate the incident and drone activity.

▪️The meeting, attended by key Taliban figures such as Tajmir Javad and Hayatullah Akhund, established a committee chaired by Tajmir Javad to probe the matter further.

▪️However, there is a lack of concrete evidence supporting the narrative presented by Afghanistan International.

▪️Local sources in Parwan province, Afghanistan have observed drone surveillance activity this morning.

▪️Adding to a recent uptick in drone patrols across several provinces including Nimroz, Kandahar, Paktika, Panjshir, Herat, and Badakhshan.

▪️While Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid recently confirmed unidentified drone patrols in Nimroz and Kandahar, reports suggest a potential tactic by the Taliban to divert attention from collaborative efforts between the United States and Afghanistan.

▪️Credible sources indicate close collaboration between the Taliban's General Directorate of Intelligence and US contractors in Kandahar, focusing on surveillance and military operations against the 1SKP presence in Afghanistan.
