Administrative Oxygen (HGB Paradox)

The operational space, political immunity, or financial sanctuary afforded to militant groups through state regulatory failure or failed peace accords.

Specifically applied to the Hafiz Gul Bahadur (HGB) Group, this “oxygen” allowed for the preservation of territorial assets while their focus remained external. Their eventual “rogue turn” illustrates the inherent instability of state-militant pacts.
