The Haqqani network is smartly leading talks in Turkey with Pakistan. A Poet himself, Anis Haqqani, the younger brother of Sirrajuddin Haqqani, is a practical and mature leader who speaks fluent English, Urdu and Arabic . He has been key in dealing with Gulf countries, the #US, and China.

The Haqqani network fully controls militant activities, including the TTP, in the Loya Paktika region and supports nearly all TTP camps there. After Pakistan’s attacks on these camps, the Kandhari Taliban faced increased pressure. The Haqqanis didn’t back their anti-Pakistan rhetoric and may now use the #Turkey talks strategically.

They could address Pakistan’s concerns to ease tensions in Islamabad or use the talks to gain influence with the Kandhari Taliban, led by Akhonzada Mullah Haibatullah, on Afghan issues.

But Akhonzada Mullah Haibatullah has the final say and can block any agreement.

The biggest challenge for the Taliban 2.0 is Haibatullah’s stance on human rights, women’s issues, and foreign relations.

Pakistan shouldn’t expect too much from the #Turkey talks.

The #Taliban proxy game against Pakistan is borrowed from the Indian playbook.

The Taliban have turned Afghanistan into a terrorist haven, undermining sovereignty and independence. Supporting them is betrayal. Only the National Resistance Front (NRF) can restore freedom, democracy, and legitimacy to Afghanistan and stability in the region.

The majority of Afg people view the Durand Line as the official international border with Pakistan.

@avarakai فکر‌ میکنم شما هندی باشید. لطفن هرچیزی را که در فید توییترتان میبینید ربطی به پاکستان ندهید. پاکستان همسایه‌ی ماست و روابط ما استوار بر حُسن همسایگی و برادری اسلامی است.
این صفحه ربطی به پاکستان و پاکستانیان ندارد و من که یک پارسی زبان افغانستان هستم، ساخته شده است.

سپاس
