Regional Security Implications & Strategic Response Options
Dr. Naveed Elahi
Kabul under the Taliban group has entrenched itself as a sanctuary and ideological hub for transnational terrorist organisations — most critically, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), al-Qaeda, and the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP/Daesh). There are some other smaller groups like ETIM, IMU etc.
The recent provocative statements by Afghanistan’s Acting Defence Minister Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, son of former Taliban leader Mullah Omer— openly threatening Islamabad with attacks and refusing to designate the TTP as a terrorist organisation — lay bare a strategic posture that conflates governance with militant patronage.
