Afghan forces likely will continue to clash with the Pakistani forces: Pentagon
[KhaamaPress] The U.S. Department of Defense has warned of continued clash between the Afghan and Pak forces along the Line of Durand.

Pentagon warned regarding the likely festivities in its latest reports titled Enhancing Security and Stability in Afghanistan.

The report said "The Afghanistan-Pakistain border region remains a sanctuary for various groups, including the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
and its component Haqqani Network (HQN), al-Qa’ida core (AQ), al-Qa’ida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), Lashkar-e-Taiba
...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...
(LeT), Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP), ISIS-K, and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU)."

The report further added "Terrorist sanctuaries on both sides of the border present security challenges for Afghanistan and Pakistain and pose a threat to regional security and stability."

Furthermore, Pentagon said Afghan cops likely will continue to clash with Pak forces along the border.

The report also added that "This strains limited resources and heightens regional tensions. Senior leaders of both countries accuse the other of using their security agencies to support bully boy groups that launch cross border attacks."

Meanwhile,
...back at the Hubba Hubba Club, Nunzio wondered: Where the hell was Chumbaloni? And where was his $600?...
Pentagon said despite an escalating border skirmish in early May 2019, President Ghani and Pakistain’s Prime Minister Imran Khan
... aka The Great Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality problems...
were effectively able to de-escalate the situation peacefully.

Pentagon also added that Afghanistan faces multiple internal threats, each of which receives significant support from external actors.

According to Pentagon report, the primary threat to Afghan stability is the Taliban, which receives sanctuary and support from many external actors.
