Taliban Rejects Claims of TTP Presence in Afghanistan

The Taliban rejects claims Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has hideouts in Afghanistan and reaffirms commitment to prevent using Afghan territory to threaten nations.

Taliban Rejects Claims of TTP Presence in Afghanistan Taliban Deputy Spokesperson Hamdullah Fitrat has rejected remarks by Pakistan’s Deputy Representative to the United Nations, who alleged that Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has hideouts in Afghanistan. Fitrat reiterated the Taliban’s commitment to prevent any group from using Afghan territory to threaten other nations, stating that security issues within Pakistan are “internal matters” for the country to address independently. “The Taliban will not allow anyone to operate against other countries from Afghanistan’s soil,” Fitrat emphasized, adding that Pakistan should focus on resolving its internal challenges rather than leveling accusations at others. The statement follows comments made by Pakistan’s deputy representative at the UN, who recently claimed that TTP fighters operate from Afghan territory, allegedly using it as a base for actions against Pakistan.
