Pakistan pushes UN for action as TTP terror attacks escalate from Afghan soil

Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Munir Akram, raised alarms at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) regarding the increasing terrorist threat emanating from Afghanistan.

He emphasised that the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which Pakistan refers to as Fitna al-Khawarij, is rapidly expanding its influence with the support of the Afghan interim government.

Addressing the UNSC, Munir Akram outlined that the TTP has become the largest terrorist group in Afghanistan, routinely conducting cross-border attacks into Pakistan.

Backed by the Taliban, these militants are equipped with advanced weaponry and increasingly collaborate with other insurgent factions, including secessionist groups like the Majeed Brigade.

Pakistan fears that the TTP’s growing alliance with Al-Qaeda could soon elevate it to a central role in regional and global terrorist activities.
