There has been a conflict between Alizai (Shia) and Bagan (Sunni) tribes for decades in the Shia-dominated Kurram district bordering Afghanistan. The border dispute has made it a safe haven for terrorists. There has always been tension between Pakistan and Afghanistan over Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Because of this, many terrorist groups use it as a safe haven. Apart from this, the tribes living here There has been a land dispute in Afghanistan for a long time. A major reason for the terrorist incidents here is the lack of mutual agreement between the two countries regarding the border area. Actually, Pakistan and Afghanistan are separated by a border. It is called the Durand Line. Pakistan considers it a boundary line, but the Taliban clearly says that Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa state is its part. The Pakistani army has fenced here with barbed wire. On the occupation of Afghanistan, the Taliban asked Pakistan to vacate this area and uprooted the fencing installed here. Pakistan opposed this and deployed troops there. After this, the Taliban blew up the Pakistani check posts present there. After this, the tension between the two countries increased even more. —————————————— Also read this news related to the Russia-Ukraine war… Russia freed 40% of the land from Ukraine’s occupation: Ukraine had occupied 1376 square km of Kursk land, attacked in August Ukraine suddenly attacked the Kursk area of Russia in August During this period, Ukraine had captured a large area of Kursk.
