A leaked video has once again highlighted a dangerous reality: some elements within the Afghan Taliban are actively stoking terrorism inside Pakistan.
In the footage, Afghan Taliban fighters voice frustration over obstacles to joining the Tehreek‑e‑Taliban Pakistan (TTP). They admit they cannot formally enter the group, yet claim close contact with the Hafiz Gul Bahadur network and declare themselves “ready for jihad against Pakistan.”
Their statements reveal more than idle talk. The militants say dozens of men are already preparing for operations on Pakistani soil, offering a glimpse of terrorism orchestrated from across the border.
The continued use of Afghanistan as a haven for anti‑Pakistan groups is eroding trust between the two neighbors and posing a severe threat to regional stability. Videos openly advocating violence against Pakistani forces and institutions prove that cross‑border militancy is once again being organized in a systematic fashion.
