Afghanistan – The Hotbed of Proxies

Afghanistan has transformed itself into a hot bed of proxies by a globally unrecognised government run by a Non state actor, #TTA. Imbued with a violent ideology, it provides base and logistics to a hotchpotch of terrorists organizations with focus on neighbouring countries like #TTP for #Pakistan, ETIM for #China, IMU for Uzbekistan etc while harbouring ISKP as a wildcard to sow instability. By using these proxies, TTA gains negative leverages over neighbouring countries, and it also remains useful to certain hostile Intelligence Agencies, whose interests are perpetual chaos in the region. Once we focus more on ISKP, whom TTA now desperately but ridiculously wants to show as some sort of proxy of ISI, few facts need to be seen. Firstly, once TTA took over Afghanistan, they immediately took released all its leadership and fighters in jails. Secondly, TTP, JuA & #ISKP all have been based in Kunar and Nangarhar in harmony under patronage of the present Afghan government. Thirdly, their is a cross-cross of leadership as well as cadre between both TTP and ISKP with numerous examples. As if routine career changes are made from one organisation to another in the corporate world, albeit in this case it’s the terror enterprise. Interestingly, there is a certain division of labor assigned by their handlers between TTP and ISKP. ISKP is primarily used to target religious leaders and targets and sectarian violence like bomb blasts in Mosques and Imam Bargahs while TTP is primarily engaged for attacks against security forces. ISKP however serves another important purpose. Internal attacks within Afghanistan so as to continue justifying IAG and GDI heavy hand in dealing with any internal dissent and run Afghanistan as a security state. These plethora of NSAs under the umbrella of Afghanistan thrive for their funding on a host of illegal activities like smuggling, extortion, narcotics etc. They also recruit from common population base of economically vulnerable and religiously conservative segments of Afghan and tribal population. All of them therefore thrive on open borders between Afghanistan and Pakistan and large illegal and undocumented Afghan refugees within Pakistan. Their leaders business of terror and illegal activities is hampered by a regulated border and control of commodities. Hence we can see the freakishness of Afghan Government on Pakistan morally, economically and legally justified decision of sending back illegal Afghans. Fact of the matter is that Pakistan and the World understands well that these multiple terror enterprises within Afghanistan are a threat to all is wise enough to see the dubious game being played by TTA. Crafting false narratives and blaming Pakistan by frivolous propaganda like patronage of ISKP or relating return of illegal Afghans with Amu river canal dispute will no longer work.
