Under the watch of the Afghan Taliban, banned militant groups like Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), BLA, and others continue to find safe refuge and operational freedom across Afghanistan. Despite official denials, there is growing evidence that these groups are not only tolerated but often facilitated in carrying out cross-border attacks, particularly in Pakistan.
TTP leaders have established a presence in various Afghan provinces, openly holding meetings, recruiting fighters, and spreading propaganda. Instead of dismantling their networks, the Taliban regime has chosen silence—creating an environment where terrorism is allowed to regroup and expand.
Afghanistan’s media landscape is gripped by fear. Journalists face harassment, arrests, or worse if they report on militant activity or criticize the Taliban’s handling of security. Independent voices are either censored or driven underground.
International organizations and humanitarian agencies are granted limited, closely monitored access, preventing a clear picture of the ground realities. The controlled narrative hides the growing presence of extremist networks operating with ease. According to local sources
This silent complicity poses a grave threat to regional peace. The international community must confront the uncomfortable truth: Afghanistan is fast becoming a breeding ground for terrorism under the protection of a regime that refuses to act.
