@r2reports: Pakistan is now fighting the Taliban government it spent decades helping bring to power. UN monitors estimate around 6,000 Pakistani Taliban fighters operate from Afghanistan, while Kabul denies sheltering them. Pakistan bombed Kabul and Kandahar in February, but militant attacks inside Pakistan kept rising. Twenty-five years after 9/11, the Taliban controls Afghanistan and commands a security force estimated at as many as 450,000. #Afghanistan #Pakistan #Taliban #TTP #Geopolitics #War #R2Reports
