Intelligence agencies around the world are warning that the Taliban government in Afghanistan radically reshape terrorist and militant groups in South Asia and throughout the world.

In particular, intelligence and counterterrorism officials said that even though the Taliban promised to sever relations with Al-Qaeda and opposing terror groups such as Afghan Afghanistan affiliates of the Islamic State, as codified in the DOHA 2020 agreement with the United States, there was little evidence of progress.

The Taliban tried to maintain pressure on ISIS [Islamic State group],” General Top in Command Central A.S. Notify lawmakers in Washington on March 15. “They find it difficult to do it.”

They are much stronger on al-Qaeda’s problems, in terms of opposing them and trying to limit them,” General Kenneth Centcom “Frank” McKenzie added.

A recent UN report was based on members since his appearance in 1994, the Taliban movement, who called himself an Afghan Islamic Emirate, was led by the Emir, a central figure that was as if it was appointed to life by the Taliban Religious Council.

Like the two predecessors, Emir at this time, Hibatullah Akhundzada, did not make public speeches and lead a closed life in the Kandahar Province of South Afghanistan. He had left the management of everyday government affairs to the caregiver cabinet appointed in the Afghan capital, Kabul.

Various estimates by US intelligence agencies and members of the United Nations include the number of Taliban fighters between 58,000 and 100,000, with a number of fluctuations in accordance with the condition of the year and battlefield.

Report u.n. It was issued in June 2021, before US withdrawal, recorded the size of the Taliban power strongly apart from a significant shear rate” over the past few years.

The Taliban also benefited from the presence of around 8,000 to 10,000 foreign fighters in Afghanistan, which was mostly harmonized with the Taliban. The Taliban defense minister recently said in an interview that the group tried to build strong 110,000 troops.

Intelligence together in public by the United States and UN member countries then accuse the Taliban continues to work with Al-Qaeda and maintain relationships with other terrorist groups, pushing some to be part of the Afghan military power managed by the new Taliban.

And even if the Taliban plans to take action against is-khorasan cells, the affiliate of the Islamic State in Afghanistan, they may not have the right ability.

I don’t think what we will see from the Taliban will be [counterterrorism] traditionally as we think,” Colin Clarke, research director at the Global Intelligence Firm of the Soufan Group, to VOA last year.

It’s much easier to play a spoiler role than appearing effectively in counterinsurgent roles,” he said. “I think the Taliban can be effective in cleaning up a region, but it will struggle more by holding it.”
