Pakistan played disruptive role in Afghanistan, provided support to Taliban: Report

AUS Congressional Research Service (CRS) has indicted Pakistan of playing a disruptive and destabilising part in Afghanistan. It also said Pakistan handed,” active and unresistant support to the Taliban.”


Pakistan has long played an active and, by numerous accounts, disruptive and destabilising part in Afghan affairs, including through the provision of active and unresistant support to the Taliban. Numerous spectators see the Taliban’s preemption (of Afghanistan) as a substantial triumph for Pakistan, bolstering its influence in Afghanistan and advancing its decades-long sweats to limit Indian influence there,”the report said.


CRS reports are prepared for lawgivers to make informed opinions on colorful issues of their interest. It isn’t considered an sanctioned view or report of the US Congress.

The report said despitepro-Taliban commentary by top Pakistani officers, the preemption by the group could pose challenges and complications for Islamabad.

” Still, Pakistani officers claim that their influence over the Taliban is limited. More astronomically, despite some implicitlypro-Taliban statements from top Pakistani officers, the Taliban’s preemption may present challenges and complications for Pakistan,”it stated.

Prepared by independent subject area experts, the bipartisan Congressional Research Service (CRS) report said if other countries similar as Pakistan, Russia, China, or US mates similar as Qatar move towards lesser acceptance of the Taliban, it could insulate the United States, weakening its influence and giving the Taliban lesser openings to shirk or fight the US pressure.

The report also advised that a more corrective US approach could complicate the formerly dire philanthropic conditions in Afghanistan with uncertain counteraccusations for Taliban rule and indigenous dynamics.

Since the preemption of Kabul on August 15, Pakistan has been trying to move the world to diplomatically engage with the Taliban. Still, the transnational community remains skeptical of the fundamentalist group, especially on issues of terrorism and mortal rights.

The report stated that the acceptance of a Taliban government that acts to secure some US public security interests ( similar as combatting ISKP) while not governing democratically or guarding mortal rights could also pose a delicate, if familiar, challenge for US policymakers.

It said that a US policy response that rejects and seeks to weaken the Taliban may have broad domestic support, given the history of conflict and Taliban programs that undermine US interests. It’s unclear to what extent, if at each, the Taliban might change their geste in response to US conduct, but the group appears to be prioritising internal cohesion over negotiations that might appeal to foreign actors.

“A lower oppositional US approach towards the Taliban could allow for lesser US access to, and maybe influence over, the group and events in Afghanistan. Engagement with a Taliban government that acts in support of some US interests and against others could impel US policymakers to weigh and prioritise those interests, posing a delicate challenge,”the report said.

The Taliban swept across Afghanistan in August, seizing control of all crucial municipalities and metropolises against the background of the pullout of US forces that began on May 1. The militant group ousted the tagged government of President Ashraf Ghani, forcing him to flee the country.

The US set over USD 9 billion of means of the Afghan central bank after the Taliban mutineers seized power in the country.
