What line of action do you expect Afghan Taliban to take againt TTP?

a) Go hard against TTP and ensure they are not able to operate against Pakistan.

b) Use TTP as a leverage against Pakistan. Give and take policy to extract maximum concessions from Pakistan

c) Down the line, join TTP as their ideological brethern to implement their version of Sharia across the border.

a) Go hard against TTP and ensure they are not able to operate against Pakistan.

the new afghan government needs a stable and prosperous neighborhood so the investments and reconstruction can flow into Afghanistan from around the neighboring countries directly and the world through those countries. the afghans need jobs, schools, colleges, hospitals, power plants, you name it. they can't afford to let a bunch of thugs and crooks turned khwarjis like the ttp play the role of spoilers in the name of Islam.

They will merge with the afghan taliban or will have to fight them
Whether they operate in pakistan or not is to be seen but possible

In that case china nd russia will pull out and pakistan will close it boarders and talis govt will collapse under pressure of no food or support

If TTP attacks Pakistan again, turn Afghanistan into a wasteland by pointing at least 50 nukes on their population centers.

Leave some for India though.

I guess the situation will be more clear by the end of the year. We will come back to this thread by the end of 2021.

Unrelated but good messaging by Pakistan inviting the Afghan Tajik leadership.

Honestly who knows. Our own military let go a senior TTP leader who they held in prison. When you consider that you really begin to wonder. Assuming that our security establishment has done playing favourites with terrorists, then I think the conditions are positive.

In my opinion the Taliban of today won't be reliant on Pakistan like the Taliban of the past, IF they can be tolerant and not massacre shias, Hazaras etc. The Taliban have a relationship with Iran and they will want to maintain that. The presence of ISIS or other foreign funded militants in Afghanistan is a risk to their relationship with both Pakistan and Iran.

If people who get their pay cheques from America and India are attacking Shias in Afghanistan, then that will sour relations with Iran. Similarly if the TTP and BLA types are hosted in Afghanistan, that will sour relations with Pakistan. Taliban controlled Afghanistan risks isolating itself by not controlling these elements.

Pakistan AND Iran should both be offering security support in terms of drones, air power, etc whatever is required to help end these elements in Afghanistan. They are working only to destabilise our three nations. There is nothing to gain by tolerating these elements.

I fear that instead of being pro-active and trying to take advantage of this sitution, our establishment is sitting waiting to see what the goray want them to do. The time right now is perfect to have a massive reset between Pakistan-Iran-Afghanistan. The attacks in all three nations have been fueled by the same source. They've just left - we need to take the opportunity to finish off any remnants and build a proper working relationship in terms of security and then in the future trade too.

All of the above in same sequence as you have written. I'll say in about two years they'll be at point-3.

Pakistan responds to Taliban advances

Sarah Atiq, BBC


Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that Afghans have "broken the shackles of slavery" in a speech about cultural imperialism.

His comments criticising education in English in Pakistan came a day after the Taliban took control of the Afghan capital, Kabul, following days of rapid advances.

Pakistan was one of only three countries to recognise the Afghan Taliban Government in 1996, and is expected to make key decisions today at its national security committee meeting chaired by the prime minister and attended by senior military and intelligence agency officials.

Separately, Pakistan's major religious political parties Jamat-e-Islami and JUI-F congratulated the Afghan Taliban on their recent “success” and extended their full support and co-operation to the movement in Afghanistan. Some members of these religious groups also distributed sweets to celebrate the Taliban takeover.

The Taliban are also in control of the two major border crossings with Pakistan. One of them, the Torkham crossing, was briefly closed to pedestrians and trade after it was seized by Taliban fighters. Pakistan is not currently allowing any new refugees to enter the country and Afghans are therefore only allowed to return to their country via these crossings.

Earlier, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi met a delegation of Afghan political leaders from Northern Afghanistan who expressed their concerns regarding the inclusion of minorities and other ethnic groups in any future government of Afghanistan.

No mercy on TTP, we lost many bright young soldiers and officers. The most recent one ...

Its all too murky at the moment. I understand that an anti-Pakistan regime has been removed but not sure we will ever be out of the woods vis-a-vis Afghanistan.

This time Taliban came into power through the Qatar accord. Don't keep high hope from this Taliban govt. Pakistan has to go for a pre-emptive strike in the Eastern Afghanistan TTP den.

Afghan Taliban will use the TTP presence as leverage against us, but in the long run we can craft policy such that eventually they are not allowed even the minutest amount of space.

Pakistan should keep strict border security and only allow legal crossing. And design new options to strike terrorist hideouts inside the Afghan border.
