Pakistan has once again raised the alarm over the persistent use of Afghan territory as a launchpad for terrorist activities targeting its soil. In a strongly worded statement, Islamabad reiterated that it has consistently presented irrefutable evidence before international forums, implicating the Kabul regime in providing support to militant groups operating against Pakistan. The recent surge in deadly attacks—including suicide bombings and ambushes on security forces—has galvanized Pakistan to step up its diplomatic outreach. Officials are now urging the global community, particularly Central Asian states, to recognize that this threat is not confined to Pakistan alone but poses a broader security risk to the entire region. Islamabad is expected to push for concrete international action, including sanctions or diplomatic isolation of elements within the Afghan government that harbor or aid terrorists. My opinion: Pakistan’s stance is justified given the overwhelming evidence of cross-border infiltration. However, the international community’s response has been tepid, often prioritizing political correctness over security realities. To break this cycle, Pakistan must not only rely on diplomacy but also strengthen its own border security and intelligence-sharing mechanisms with regional partners. Without a unified global stance, the Afghan safe havens will continue to destabilize South and Central Asia.
