In a historic move, Afghanistan's Supreme Leader has issued a decree to dismantle the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) presence on Afghan soil, following a high-level summit in Kandahar. The directive mandates the Afghan Prime Minister to detain all 'illegal foreigners,' particularly TTP members, to prevent Afghanistan from being a launchpad for cross-border attacks against Pakistan. This decision comes amid sustained pressure from Pakistan, which has viewed the TTP as an existential threat due to its cross-border activities. Reports suggest that regional powers, including China, may have influenced this shift in Taliban policy. Afghan authorities have already begun rounding up TTP fighters, including Taliban members who had previously crossed into Pakistan alongside them. This crackdown signifies a major turning point for the Taliban, as it prioritizes national stability over former militant alliances, aiming to ease tensions with Pakistan and avoid broader regional conflict.
