The Taliban has declared victory over Afghanistan’s last opposition stronghold in the Panjshir Valley, but the head of a coalition of anti-Taliban fighters denied the battle was finished. Assuming the tough fight between two forces, Pakistan openly helped Taliban to defeat Northern Alliance Front (NRF) in Panjshir. The Taliban are not strong enough to compete with NRF but the Pakistan Army cooperated with the Taliban in this regard. Pakistani drones & jets have been bombing Panjshir continuously since last night. To upheld the nexus rumors, Pakistan's ISI chief Faiz Hameed's visit to Kabul at a time when Pakistan is internationally accused of aiding the Taliban in Afghanistan has sparked off controversies.
Pakistan ISI Chief said that he is lobbying for Haqqanis' share in the new Afghanistan government. The conflict between the two groups in the Taliban has become a headache for Pakistan. Tehreek-E-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claims responsibility on suicide attack carried out in Balochistan province. 4 killed and 20 injured in suicide attack targeting check-post in Quetta. TTP sent a warning signal to Islamabad that forming the Taliban government doesn’t end Pakistan's woes. As usual, Prime Minister Imran Khan has condemned the attack and offered condolences to the victims' families. TTP is a banned militant group in Pakistan. TTP was formed in 2007 and an Afghan Taliban leader recruited Pakistanis to work in the group.
TTP’s main objectives are
implementing Sharian law and engaging in Jihad against the Pakistan army. Since
its formation, TTP worked against the Pakistan army. TTP wreaked havoc in
Pakistan with several attacks. Attack on Army Public School in Peshawar that
killed 150 people in 2014 was the major attack by TTP. Later, Pakistan
destroyed TTP with the help of U.S. drone campaigns that made TTP weaken in the
country. After the US & NATO exit, TTP wants to show it’s entity to the
Pakistan Army. TTP members are spread across the Afghan and Pakistan border.
Though TTP & Taliban have the same ideology, Taliban do not agree with
TTP’s decision to target Pakistan. The Taliban gave assurance to Pakistan that
it will not allow TTP in Afghanistan land. Pakistan was created by Taliban,
ISI-K and TTP militant groups for it’s interests. Now it is boiling with the
same militant groups.
