Statement of a rogue Taliban commander
Given the statement of a rogue Taliban commander, the Afghan Taliban supreme leader Sheikh Haibatullah has reportedly conveyed through indirect yet credible channels to the Pakistani govt that any discussions suggesting collaboration with the TTP are unfounded. The Afghan govt is actively working to dispel the notion, emphasizing that such messaging from the TTP is false & baseless. Simultaneously, the TTP leadership, including Noor Wali, is spreading misinformation & engaging in deceitful tactics. This move by the TTP is seen as a desperate endeavor to involve the Afghan govt physically in its attacks against Pakistan. The Afghan govt, vehemently denying any involvement or support for the TTP, is working to counter these claims & reassure its commitment to maintaining stability in the region. TTP is attempting to exploit the situation & coerce the Afghan govt, despite receiving some level of facilitation, is perceived as a strategic move to bolster its forces & exert pressure on the Afghan govt to escalate support beyond covert measures. According to Tahir Khan (
taahir khan), the Afghan Taliban has disowned the individual & a Taliban media official says “Abdul Hameed Khorasani had no position at the Islamic Emirate’s organizational structure. This man is living in another county.”
