Afghanistan-Pakistan Relations Strained by TTP Activity and Taliban Resistance
Since the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan in 2021, relations with Pakistan have shifted from strategic cooperation to security concerns, primarily due to the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) operating from Afghan territory and conducting attacks in Pakistan. Pakistan accuses the Taliban of harboring the TTP, which Kabul denies, calling it a Pakistani issue. Border tensions, Pakistani strikes inside Afghanistan, trade restrictions, and Afghan returns have strained ties. Meanwhile, former Afghan Vice President Amrullah Saleh leads resistance against the Taliban, highlighting ongoing challenges of political legitimacy, armed opposition, and regional security.
