Zahra Baloch: Terrorist groups in Afghanistan pose serious threat to region
2024-11-23
[KhaamaPress] The spokesperson for Pakistain’s Foreign Ministry, Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, stated that terrorist groups have found safe havens in Afghanistan and are launching attacks on Pakistain from there.
"These are ones we don't control!"
Baloch urged the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
 to fulfill their commitments under the Doha Agreement and take action against these terrorist groups in Afghanistan. Without naming specific groups, she called for concrete steps to prevent their activities.
Why would the Taliban act against their friends and colleagues in the jihad game?
During a press briefing on Thursday, Zahra Baloch highlighted that international concerns about the security situation in Afghanistan have been repeatedly raised in UN reports and during meetings with regional countries.

Baloch also disclosed that Islamabad has shared its concerns with Washington about the large cache of weapons obtained by terrorist groups in Afghanistan,
…the cache they acquired when the American Armed Forces fled the field like they did long ago in Viet Nam, fulfilling all sorts of anti-war fantasies of those inhabiting the left wing of the Democratic Party nowadays?
which are now being used against Pakistain. Both Pakistain and the U.S. are working together to push the Taliban to honor their counter-terrorism commitments.
It was always taqqiya — honouring those words was precisely what they never intended to do.
She reaffirmed Pakistain’s stance that terrorist groups continue to operate from Afghan soil, conducting attacks inside Pakistain. "We believe terrorism is not only a threat to Afghanistan but also to its neighboring countries, including Pakistain, and to the world as a whole," she said.
But more to those poor suckers running Pakistan, who turn out not to be nearly as clever as they assumed.
Over the past three years, attacks by the Pak Taliban on Pakistain’s security forces have intensified. Analysts suggest that the Pak forces of Evil are allies of the Afghan Taliban, who are reluctant to expel them from Afghanistan.
It’s not reluctance, it’s determination not to — and that’s before the easy exchange of personnel as needed for various projects.
The Taliban, responding to regional concerns, have claimed they do not allow any group to attack neighboring countries from Afghan soil. However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday...
 Pakistain insists that the leadership and a significant number of Pak Talibs are present in Afghanistan.

Pakistain’s expectations of the Taliban curbing the activities of the Pak Taliban (TTP) have not materialized in the three years since the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan. Instead, Pakistain claims the Taliban have allowed the TTP to establish safe havens in border regions.

Earlier, Pakistain shared "conclusive evidence" of the TTP’s presence with China’s special envoy on Afghanistan during his visit to Islamabad. Pakistain’s approach to Afghanistan is now being handled by its deputy foreign minister for West Asia and Afghanistan, following the removal of its special envoy for Afghanistan, Asif Ali Durrani.
