How Pakistan and the Taliban, former allies, slid into ‘open war’ 

Pakistan and the Taliban were friends for a long time. Pakistan helped the Taliban a lot when they were fighting against countries and the government in Afghanistan. Many people thought that when the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in August 2021 Pakistan would be safer and have influence in the area.. Instead of things getting better the relationship between Pakistan and the Taliban has gotten much worse.

There have been fights and disagreements between them. They have even had clashes, closed borders and done airstrikes. Both sides are angry. Blame each other. This is not what Pakistan expected. They thought the Taliban would help keep them safe and be a friend.

The main reason for the problems is a group called the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan. This group is fighting against Pakistan. Is hiding in Afghanistan. Pakistan is angry that the Taliban is not doing enough to stop them. The Taliban says that Pakistan is not treating refugees well and is violating their countrys sovereignty.

Pakistan and the Taliban have an complicated history. Pakistan got involved in Afghanistan a time ago during the Soviet-Afghan War. They helped the Afghan fighters resist the forces. Pakistans goal was to have a government in Afghanistan so they could be safe from Indian influence.

When the Taliban first came to power in the 1990s Pakistan supported them. They gave them training, weapons and financial help. Pakistan thought the Taliban would be an ally and help them against India.. After the 9/11 attacks the United States invaded Afghanistan and the Taliban was removed from power.

Even though Pakistan said they supported the US War on Terror many people thought they were still secretly friends with the Taliban. The Taliban leaders lived in Pakistan. Were able to operate from there. Pakistans goal was to keep influence out of Afghanistan and to have control over the countrys politics.

When the Taliban took power again in 2021 Pakistan was happy at first. They thought the Taliban would help them with security and be a friend.. Things did not go as planned. The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan group started attacking Pakistan from Afghanistan. Pakistan was angry. Felt betrayed.

The border between Pakistan and Afghanistan is also an issue. The Durand Line was established in 1893. The Afghan government has never fully accepted it. They think it divides their people and violates their sovereignty. Pakistan has built a fence along the border to keep out militants. The Taliban has destroyed it and fired at Pakistani troops.

The situation is very tense. There have been terrorist attacks in Pakistan and the country has responded with airstrikes in Afghanistan. The Taliban has condemned these actions. Warned Pakistan of consequences. The two countries are not getting along. It is affecting the people who live in the area.

Pakistan is. Feels like their strategy has backfired. They thought supporting the Taliban would bring them security and influence. Instead it has brought them more problems. The Taliban is trying to be independent. Is not listening to Pakistans demands. They want to be seen as an sovereign country.

Other countries are also involved in the situation. India is being careful. Trying to build a relationship with the Taliban. China has interests in Afghanistan and is trying to stay neutral. Iran and Russia are also. Are trying to build their own relationships with the Taliban.

The military balance between Pakistan and the Taliban is not equal. Pakistan has an modern military while the Taliban has guerrilla fighters and light weapons.. The Taliban has experience in fighting insurgencies and can cause a lot of damage.

The situation is very complicated. It is hard to predict what will happen next. But one thing is sure the conflict between Pakistan and the Taliban is affecting the people who live in the area and is causing a lot of suffering. The humanitarian impact is significant. Something needs to be done to stop the violence and find a peaceful solution.

There are a few scenarios for the future. The likely one is that the low-level conflict will continue. There will be border clashes and terrorist attacks. No full-scale war. Another possibility is that the Taliban will act against the Tehrik-eTaliban Pakistan and trust will be rebuilt.. This is unlikely unless there are some big changes.

The likely scenario is that the conflict will escalate into a larger war. This could happen if there is an attack or if one side decides to use more force.. This would be very bad for everyone involved and would cause a lot of destruction and suffering.

The future depends on whether Pakistan and the Taliban can rebuild trust and address their security concerns. If they can find a way to work together and stop the violence then the region can start to heal and become more stable.. If they cannot then the conflict will continue and the people who live in the area will continue to suffer.
