PAKISTAN'S NEW TRICK TO KEEP ITS PROXIES ALIVE IN AFGHANISTAN

In the meeting between the Tajik and Pakistani intelligence agencies, an agreement has been signed under which both the countries will boost their support with their proxies, ISKP and National Resistance Front of Afghanistan who are currently busy fighting against the Afghan government.

After the current government of Afghanistan, Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan refused to toe the lines of Pakistani generals, these army generals have now initiated a proxy war against Afghanistan.

However, unlike in the past, Pakistan has very few options that it can use to pressurise the Afghan government in order to reach its goals.

Long ago, Pakistan had militant groups, established in Afghanistan after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and after the withdrawal of Soviet Union these groups came under the control of Pakistan, through which Pakistan created chaos in Afghanistan and enabled a paralysed and pro-Pakistan government in Kabul.

Looking at the current condition of Afghanistan, Pakistan has no option except to use Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) through which Pakistan wants to pressurise the Afghan government for achieving its goals. This is happening because every other militant group has been pushed and expelled from Afghanistan after Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan took over the country.

After deep meditation, Pakistani generals, in order to create insecurity and instability in Afghanistan, have practically begun working on a plan to use ISKP as its proxy in Afghanistan which I have proved in my previous articles how Pakistan is providing safe houses and support to ISKP’s militants.
