Why Pak-Afghan Border is the Greatest Fault Line of South Asia | TTP vs PAk Army

Pak-Afghan border is the oldest fault line of our South Asia 27 August 2011 Tehreek Taliban Pakistan TTP crossed the Afghan border and killed at least 26 security persons in Chiral 5 January 2012 What happens that 15 kidnapped from Tank Dead bodies of security personnel are found in Shumali Waziristan and TTP accepts responsibility.
31 people were killed in Chunar on 17th February. In 2013, suicide attack in Shumali Waziristan and 17 people were killed. In 2014, two blasts in Mahamad Agency killed six and in 2015, bomb in Chaman. There were blasts and two were killed. In 2016, the mosque of Mehmed Agency is blown up and 23 worshipers are killed.
In 2017, there is an attack again in Pada Chunar and 67 67 townspeople are killed. 201 In 1929, six soldiers were murdered in Shumali Waziristan. In 2021, nine people are killed in terrorism in Germany and in 2022, Meeran Shah himself, three soldiers are killed in the Kush blast and till this year, on the night of March 16, a big planned attack on Mir Ali check post in Shumali Waziristan.
It happens that after killing seven soldiers, six TTP attackers are also killed while escaping. Now if you look at the map of all these people, you cannot ignore this killing zone. Pak- Afghan border is a big foot line of our enemy, Pak Army. has also conducted many major operations to clear the entire region, the first of which was Operation Rahe Raas which was conducted in Swat in 2009.
At that time, the local commander of Tehreek Taliban in Swat was Mullah Fazlullah from Swat. He spoke through radio. He got fame by doing Tablighi, hence initially he was also called Mullah Radio. In the last phase of Janam Sharaf, he along with Tehreek Taliban Pakistan had captured Swat and its surrounding areas.
They made check posts on the roads of KP and established fresh courts as per their Shariat. In Magora Chowk, they used to blow people’s necks and flog them. Along with this, they also demanded abolition of Shariat in KP and entire Pakistan. They were of the view that if it was pointed out that their regime would be destroyed in the state, they would stop the action.
We are going to implement the Sharia. Get our AIIMS. But the central government of the People’s Party, the Security Council and the International Coalition were against any such action. They were of the opinion that The objective of Taliban is not to establish their rule in one area but in fact they want to capture the whole of Pakistan.
If their rule is accepted at one place then they will not stop here but the issue was that at that time the ruling party of KPK, NP, was in support of Taliban. They were ready to make a deal for peace. They believed that by making a deal with the Taliban, we can be saved from the daily blasts and destruction.
Awami National Party’s Wazir Chief Aamir Haider Hoti also threatened the Markaz government that If the deal is not made then they will separate from the government. Now since there was a unity government of the People’s Party, the separation of anyone could lead to the end of their central government, hence due to the pressure of NP and the right wing group, the border government which is now KPK is there, it was given the authority to make a deal with Taliban on the ground level. KP government made a deal in the name of Nizam Adal, Qazi courts were established in KPK and the state machinery took a step back. Now let’s see the same thing happened. The fear was that Nizam Adal’s deal is made on 13th April, Parliament approves it, but it is not yet the evening of 13th April that Taliban Jangju advance and capture another area of ​​Swad, Buner.
Taliban whips a girl and one of its Mubina’s video also goes viral due to which restlessness spreads everywhere. Just two days after the incident, on April 15, between Swat and Pisha, Taliban again attack the post of Char Sadda and kill 18 security personnel. On May 15, the Taliban go further and arrest the Nafi Ahal Kahn during curfew in Swat.

Two of them are brutally murdered and a video is also released of this incident. The capture of Susan Buner was a water shed movement for the princely state of Pakistan. Buner was The capture meant that the Taliban’s reach was only 70 miles from Islamabad. A debate started in the Parliament that the Taliban had reached the hills of Islamabad.
We should do something. FATA and KP are out of control even in the international media. Concerns began to be expressed continuously, there was talk of Pakistani nuclear weapons being taken into the hands of terror groups, the government was ready for the operation in Swat, the Nizam Adal deal had ended, this operation could have started at any time and this This first operation, which was scheduled to take place on the night of 4th May, did not have complete political support, in such a way that the government called
an all-party conference for the Swat operation on 18th May. APC called and tried to take everyone into confidence. In this meeting, the people Party Noon League NP and MQM supported the Swat operation and stressed on the elimination of Talabana Jeshan while Jamaat Islami Tehreek Insaf JUIJUP and Jamiat Ahle Hadith opposed the operation.
Imran Khan and Digar said that instead of the operation Despite the opposition, Operation Rahe Raast started and it continued for two months. As a result, the security forces vacated Swat and all the surrounding areas from the Taliban and took them under their control.
However, during the operation, the Taliban’s local leader Mullah Fazlullah was killed. The government was of the opinion that along with Swad, two Majeed areas on the Pak-Afghan border i.e. Janubi and Shumali Waziristan should also be cleared because these areas are TTP’s. Apart from this, now Al Qaeda and International Janju had also become a stronghold.

In 2009 itself, Operation Rahe Nijaat was launched in Janubi Waziristan. At that time, TTP’s Markaz Commander was Baitullah Mehsud. Operation Rahe Nijaat continued for almost six months from June to December. In this, American Intelligence was involved. Some help was also involved because in the same operation, Baitullah Mehsud was killed in an American drone attack in August 2009.
By the end of December, Pakistan’s flag started flying again in Swat and Janubi Waziristan. After Swat and Janubi Waziristan, the most difficult operation was that of Shumali Waziristan. The geography of Waziristan was very difficult and it was famous that no army could achieve success in this area for centuries, so initially Pakistan also started fighting with Hakim Ullah Mehsud, the descendant of the then Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud in Shumali Waziristan.
America could not even withstand this pressure and there were two important reasons for this, one was that Pakistan needed American support for counter-terrorism operations and the second reason was that Hakimullah Mehsud Brahe had already been an American target. The reason for this was a major suicide attack on 30 December 2009 at the American base Camp Chap Man near the Afghan area Hot.
In this attack, seven agents of the American intelligence agency CIA were killed and six were injured. This attack was carried out by an American double agent Hamam Ul. It was done by Bolavi, who was an Arab from the city of Urdan. After the attack on Hamam ul Bulab, a pre- recorded video was released by Hakimullah Mehsud in which he himself was sitting with Hamam ul Bulab.
Ways Taliban actually takes credit for the attack on CIA. That’s why Hakim Ullah Mehsud was on America’s target, so when Pakistan was trying to make a peace deal with Hakim Ullah Mehsud, at the same time in November 2013, America killed him in a drone attack. This drone attack killed Hakim Ullah in Pakistan.
Mehsud was attacked when he was going back to his car after a Taliban meeting. This drone attack brought peace to Muja Karrai. Vizarat Kharij summoned American Safir and showed respect for him. PTI was in power in KPK and they decided to stop NATO supplies. Announced and even stopped this supply for some time. After the killing of Hakimullah Mehsud, Mullah Fazlullah of Swad was made the new head of TTP.
He immediately announced that he will not do any peace treaty with the Pakistani government but will take revenge of Hakimullah Mehsud. Despite American opposition, the central government of the Noon League resumed the process of engagement with the TTP in 2014, but the Taliban could not stop our efforts, so much so that on June 8, 2014, several men in ASF uniforms were arrested at Karachi Airport.
TTP attackers entered, the attackers killed 29 people at the airport, completely destroyed two big passenger trains and also caused serious damage to one while 10 terrorists who attacked were killed. Tehreek Taliban Pakistan again accepted the responsibility of this attack. 11 June Army Chief General Raheel Sharif met Wazir Azam Nawaz Sharif and important decisions were taken on the situation after Karachi airport attack.
On 14th and 15th, Pakistan ‘s largest internal operation Zarbe Ajab was launched in Shumali Waziristan. Jat Yadav bombed TTP positions and claimed that around 150 terrorists were killed, including residents at that time. This time there was not much opposition from the political class against the Sabka operations, but After the first few attacks, this operation fell victim to Dusht Ravi, the major reason for which was the political chaos in the country.
Tehreek Insaaf and Tarul Qadri’s Awami Tehreek had been on strike in Islamabad for 125 days against the government. The shrouded mujahids in Islamabad were demanding its end. Many extreme incidents including the attack on PTV were happening every day. PTI Chairman had also given a call to jam the entire country, for which 28 people were killed in Lahore on 15th December.
A dharna was organized and the city was also jammed for some time. A day later, on 16th December, a massive massacre took place. The Taliban massacred the children studying in the school. On 16th December 2014, the Taliban attacked the Army Public School in Pisha. Attacked and killed more than 150 Zaid people, including 132 children.
TTP Tarjuma Mohammad Khorasani accepted responsibility for this attack. He said that the Taliban were forced to carry out this attack due to the ongoing military actions against them. This dreadful tale has been divided. Imran Khan announced the end of 126 Roza strike, the political atmosphere turned into an RG.
He said that after this incident, the community got united, attacks on TTP bases on Pak-Afghan border started happening, ground attacks also intensified, on this TTP Sarb Mulla Fazlullah threatened that if the attacks were not stopped, he would take such huge action that Pisha would forget the school attack.
He then judged the school attack by saying that if our people would be murdered without any consideration of age and gender, then we would also do the same. Mullah Fazlullah’s threats could not stop Operation Zarbe Azam, the operation continued till 2017 27. As a result of this operation, Pak Army also gained complete control of Shumali Waziristan.
Mullah Fazlullah, who was of interest to Pakistan since the time of Sawat operation, next year 2018 Like the Sabka TTP leaders who were killed in Kunnar area of ​​Afghanistan, they were also targeted by American drones. Friends, all these are incidents of the last few years but the reality is that this border and this fault line have been unsafe for centuries.
Today it is The major part is 2600 km 2600 km Taweel Pak-Afghan border. This border was finalized in 1893 by British Diplomat Sir Moti Mor Durand and Afghan Amir Abdul Rahman. Amir Abdul Rahman was very happy on finalizing it and in his biography he considered it as his success. They had given that people have relatives on both sides of this Taweel border for centuries and they also have to come and go, then this entire train is littered with mountains, deserts and river drains, that is why any military operation in this area
is very difficult and both Service from either side is also almost impossible. Friends, this fault line of the present Pak-Afghan border has not only been a victim of exploitation in recent years, but it has also been a route for attackers since thousands of years ago. Sikandar Azam Mahmood Ghaznavi Shahabuddin Gauri Amir Taimur And Ahmed Shah Abdali used to come from this same area to attack the Jarkhej areas of Sindh and go back after looting.
In the 19th century, the Sikh umpire of King Ranjit Singh used to attack the umpire during Afghanistan in the same border areas. Had fought with the invaders and pushed them back. Then in 1839 and 18788, three big battles were fought between the British and the Afghans at this place, that is, this was their basic route and to protect it, these wars used to be fought by the British forces in the tribal areas.
The war-fighters also often set up bases across the border in Afghan areas and from there they used to attack the British forces. Then can I talk to Pakistan? When Afghanistan refused to hand over Pakistan, many skirmishes took place between the two countries on this very border.
This also happened during the era of Soviet-Afghan war, i.e. in 80’s, these same areas were the launching pad of Mujahideen fighting against Soviet Russia and America. In the recent war of 20 years, the same Pak-Afghan border was acting as a shelter for the war between the two countries. Afghan and NATO forces together could not make this border completely safe during that time.
Friends, this whole story is enough to understand why we are calling this area the biggest geo-strategic front line of this region for centuries. For some reason, this area has been present only as a hot border. The current situation is that Pakistan has issues not only with Afghan Taliban but with TTP and they have their bases in this area, but the thing is that Afghan Taliban are not supporting TTP.
The Taliban did not consider Pakistan as separate from itself because TTP’s Iraqis fought together with the Afghan Taliban in the 20-year-old war against number one America. The second reason is that the ideology of both of them i.e. the essence of Shariat is the same, that is why both The groups have a soft corner for each other and both are assets of each other and both consider it their duty to help each other.
The opponent of their viewpoint is actually their common enemy. Friends, this short documentary is revealing the western geostrategic situation of Pakistan.
