The aftermath of the American withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 has plunged the region into chaos, with Afghanistan becoming a breeding ground for terrorism. Recent events, including a devastating attack in Moscow, Russia, highlight the global impact of this escalating threat.
The resurgence of terrorism originating from Afghanistan has not only affected neighboring countries like Pakistan but has also struck at the heart of major nations like Russia. Over 130 lives were tragically lost in the recent terrorist attacks in Moscow, underscoring the severity of the situation.
Evidence points to the Islamic State - Khorasan Province (ISKP), based in Afghanistan, as being responsible for these attacks. Shockingly, operatives of the ISKP are openly celebrating their violent deeds on social media platforms, showcasing the brazenness of their activities.
Disturbing videos have emerged, depicting Taliban forces planning attacks on Pakistan, further confirming Afghanistan's role as a hotbed for terrorist operations. Reports indicate a significant increase in terrorist activities since the Taliban regained control, with groups like Daesh and others flourishing under their regime.
It's not just one terrorist group at play; Afghanistan has become a haven for over 20 different organizations, each with their own regional and global agendas. The Taliban government's support of known terrorist factions only exacerbates the situation, perpetuating instability and endangering lives across the region.
The impact of Afghan terrorism extends far beyond Pakistan, with neighboring countries and even global powers feeling its effects. The situation demands urgent attention and collaborative efforts to address the root causes of terrorism and restore peace and security to the region.
