"Negligence from the state is the key factor, the gains after expelling the militants out of the country through military operations were not consolidated," said Ihsanullah Tipu Mehsud. "This neglect has allowed groups like the TTP and BLA to regroup and escalate violence, threatening not just security but also economic stability in the affected regions."
"The last month saw a nearly three-fold jump in violent incidents in Balochistan, where separatists killed at least 74 people in coordinated attacks targeting police stations and infrastructure," highlighting the current volatile situation.
"Analysts reported 757 casualties from militant violence in the first eight months of 2024, with August alone accounting for 254 deaths, indicating a worrying trend of increasing violence."
"Islamabad's consistent accusation of the TTP carrying out operations from Afghan soil showcases the complexities in addressing cross-border insurgent activities. The Afghan Taliban's denial adds layers to the already complicated security scenario."
