Quick Glance: Pakistan's Strategic Use of Afghan Refugees against the Taliban
  • Islamabad wants Kabul to take real action against the TTP and is leveraging Afghan refugees as a bargaining chip.

  • According to the UNHCR, Pakistan currently hosts 3.7 million Afghan refugees, with 700,000 fleeing Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover in August 2021.

  • The TTP's safe haven in Afghanistan hampers the effectiveness of major military operations by the Pakistan army against the group.

  • The Taliban have suggested negotiations between Islamabad and the TTP to resolve their issues, but Pakistan is not interested, given the long history of failed attempts.
