Abstract

The Taliban have taken control of Afghanistan and are now faced with the challenge of severing their connections to terrorist groups in order to gain international recognition. There are several terrorist groups in Afghanistan, including al-Qaida, Chechen fighters, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, Pakistani fighters of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, and local Afghan terrorists belonging to the Islamic State Khorasan. The Taliban's relationships with these groups range from parasitic relationships to cooperation and peaceful coexistence. In particular, ISIS-K views the Taliban as puppets of Pakistan, leading to violent clashes between the two groups. Afghanistan hosts over 10,000 foreign fighters who enter the country in three ways: fleeing their home countries, joining Afghan terrorist organizations, or through connections established by the Taliban with terrorists. Afghanistan's neighboring countries hope that the new Taliban regime will cut ties with terrorist groups, but there are obstacles such as habit, disagreement within the Taliban, and the lack of a definition of terrorism. Terrorism in Afghanistan poses a threat to political stability in the region and international security. [Extracted from the article]
