Pakistan-Afghanistan Tensions Escalate: Durand Line, TTP Fuel Regional Crisis

• The colonial-era Durand Line is a major cause of conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
• Continuous attacks by TTP and increased violence in 2024–2025 are escalating tensions.
• Closure of Chaman and Torkham border posts, along with drone use, marks a new phase in the confrontation.
• Afghanistan's over 60% import dependence on Pakistan makes this a potential economic, political, and humanitarian crisis.
• Global powers, including India and China, are closely monitoring the conflict between Pakistan's military and Taliban's guerrilla tactics.

Why It Matters: Escalating Pakistan-Afghanistan tensions over the Durand Line and TTP attacks threaten regional stability.
