According to a report by The Diplomat, a US-based publication that focuses on politics and security in the Indo-Pacific region, internal political divisions within Pakistan are impeding efforts to curb the recent surge in terrorism, particularly over differing approaches between the Center and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government.
According to the research, political leadership has found it difficult to create a cohesive, all-encompassing plan to address the growing threat of militancy throughout the nation as a result of the policy differences.
Since Taliban leaders returned to Afghanistan in 2021, Pakistan has seen a rise in cross-border terror attacks, especially in the neighboring provinces of KP and Balochistan.
