Daesh: A threat to region and beyond

Recently, the special units of the Islamic Emirate have targeted multiple strongholds of the Khorasan branch of ISIS, leading to the arrest of a Tajik citizen. Subsequent investigations have yielded valuable information regarding the locations of this insurgent group’s members within training camps.

Over the course of three years under the Islamic Emirate’s governance, strategic operations by the Mujahideen have effectively dismantled the Khorasan branch of ISIS. Key figures were either eliminated or captured, resulting in their dwindling presence in Afghanistan. The diligent efforts of the Mujahideen alongside security officials have eradicated the roots of this subversive group, destroying their hideouts and neutralizing their members.

Despite these successes, regional intelligence agencies, aiming to foment instability in Afghanistan and the wider region, have collaborated to relocate group members to training facilities in Pakistan’s Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces. This coordinated effort seeks to perpetuate insecurity and exploit the resulting chaos.

The emergence of a troubling nexus involving Tajik nationals, Pakistani camps, and foreign support poses a significant challenge to regional and global security, potentially jeopardizing the stability of neighboring nations.

The Islamic Emirate has demonstrated its capacity to ensure security and eliminate this seditious group from Afghanistan. However, the perpetuation of this threat and the involvement of intelligence agencies and other vested interests necessitate measures to prevent the cross-border transfer of ISIS members from training camps.

International bodies are urged to intensify their investigations, present factual insights, and refrain from disseminating misinformation about the existence of this subversive group. By shedding light on the realities and alerting regional governments, nations can be informed about the imminent dangers posed by this ongoing menace.
