Pakistan Is The Real Root Of The Problem In Afghanistan
Pakistan is the real root of the problem in Afghanistan, ISI becomes the center of radicalization. The role of Pakistan in Afghanistan is not hidden from anyone.
From helping the Taliban to advocating for the Haqqani network in the new government of Afghanistan, Pakistan has been very active.
Experts say that the real root of the problem in Afghanistan is Pakistan.
According to experts from the European Foundation for South Asian Studies (EFSAS), Pakistan’s interest in the Taliban is not hidden from the world.
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan in a recent interview had appealed for global recognition to the Taliban.
At the same time, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has advocated the recognition of Taliban rule in the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
Meanwhile, China called for the lifting of sanctions against the Taliban. It urged the US not to use the withheld foreign exchange reserves of the war-torn country to exert political pressure on the group.
The EFSAS think tank says that Pakistan is deeply invested in radical ideology.
It will come as no surprise that Pakistani nuclear weapons fall into the hands of radical Islamists.
It has been heavily debated by experts including US National Security Advisor (NSA) John R. Bolton and Italian author Francesca Marino.
Bolton described Pakistan as a single government made up of arsonists and firefighters.
It said the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has long been a ‘center of radicalization’, which has spread to higher ranks throughout the army.
Whereas, Prime Minister Imran Khan is just a face like many former elected leaders.
Bolton said in his article that after US coalition forces overthrew the Taliban from Afghanistan in 2001, it was the ISI who supplied them with accommodation and weapons inside Pakistan.
Along with this, Pakistan also enabled terrorist groups to target India, its main regional rival in Kashmir.
He emphasized Islamabad’s role in making Afghanistan a hotbed of terrorism, saying the magnitude of the problem has reached such a height that the West can no longer ignore it.
Indicating that Pakistan’s continued support for terrorism has made it a de facto terrorist state.
He suggested that the consequences of having nuclear weapons in the hands of such countries would be direr than any war.
