Despite assurances from the Afghan Taliban to prevent terrorism from its soil, their actions have fallen short, particularly regarding the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants, exacerbating instability in Pakistan. The Taliban’s governance lacks attention to crucial areas like infrastructure, healthcare, and education, evident in recent fatalities and livestock losses due to heavy snowfall. Afghan officials acknowledge their shortcomings, attributing failures to inadequate facilities. The Taliban’s governance leaves Afghan citizens grappling with numerous challenges, casting doubt on their claims of effective governance. To improve conditions, the Taliban must prioritize addressing internal issues rather than contributing to regional instability.
