Understanding the Taliban

The Kandahari Faction of the Taliban has often been overshadowed by other factions and militant groups, but its relevance in shaping the Afghan insurgency and regional geopolitics cannot be understated.

Noor Wali Mehsud was so confident on this belief that he told both the Prime Minister and the Deputy Defence Minister of Afghanistan that if the Taliban continued to push the TTP to stop cross-border attacks they would pledge their allegiance to ISKP.

Understanding the Positions on Afghanistan

While many will disagree with us, we have spent months discussing the situation in Afghanistan, and these statements don’t track with the on-ground reality. We’ve also clearly said that the force that would replace the Taliban in Afghanistan will be more brutal than any terror group the world has seen thus far.
