Why Pakistan and the Taliban are Fighting (Again)

Tensions between former allies Pakistan and the Taliban have been flaring since the end of last year, threatening to escalate even further. So in this video, we'll explain how their relationship deteriorated over time and what might happen next.

Our mission is to explain news and politics in an impartial, efficient, and accessible way, balancing import and interest while fostering independent thought.

TLDR is a completely independent & privately owned media company that's not afraid to tackle the issues we think are most important. The channel is run by a small group of young people, with us hoping to pass on our enthusiasm for politics to other young people. We are primarily fan sourced with most of our funding coming from donations and ad revenue. No shady corporations, no one telling us what to say. We can't wait to grow further and help more people get informed. Help support us by subscribing, engaging and sharing. Thanks!

Since Pakistan passively aided and abetted the Taliban in their efforts to retake Afghanistan, they've really got no one but themselves to blame for the current conflict.

Pakistan: Is this... *THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY OWN ACTIONS!?!?!?!?*

I saw an opinion post "calling out" the west for not supporting NGOs in Afghanistan, the next day the taliban started banning all NGOs that hire women.

USA to Pakistan since 2001: "Stop supporting the Taliban. They are not your friends!
Pakistan to USA: "They are our brothers in arms, and we will support them to the end of days!".
USA to Pakistan since 2021: "How's that working out for you so far?!?!".

Afghanistan is called graveyard of empires but reality is Afghanistan itself is a graveyard.

Didn’t understand how taliban, which has no border or conflict with India is a counter balance to it?

Pakistan should have known supporting the Taliban would have backfired on them

[JosephHoggang-bkbk]

They are just enforcing peace on each other.
