Скачать или смотреть Is Pakistan Challenging the Taliban? Inside the Afghan Opposition Dialogue

Pakistan is hosting a controversial two-day dialogue with exiled Afghan leaders in Islamabad, raising fresh questions about its fragile relationship with the Taliban. The talks, organized by the South Asian Strategic Stability Institute University, come at a critical moment for Pakistan–Afghanistan relations. While organizers deny it is “anti-Taliban,” critics—including former U.S. envoy Zalmay Khalilzad—say the move could be seen as a direct challenge to the Taliban regime.

For Pakistan, this dialogue is more than just discussion. It is a calculated signal—balancing security concerns, international pressure, and its uneasy ties with Kabul. With the TTP using Afghan soil for attacks on Pakistan, and the Taliban accused of harboring militants, Islamabad’s strategy is under the spotlight. Is this an attempt at peacebuilding, or a provocation that risks destabilizing the border further?

This video unpacks the complex history of Pakistan–Afghanistan ties, from Imran Khan’s push for Taliban recognition to the tougher policies of Shehbaz Sharif and Anwaar Kakar, and the growing role of security concerns in shaping policy. We also explore the international dimension—how human rights, women’s rights, and regional security factor into this risky dialogue.

As the world watches, one question looms large: Is Pakistan opening a path to stability—or setting the stage for deeper confrontation with the Taliban?
