Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The unrest involves allegations that Pakistan is facing attacks from various groups, including the Hafiz Gul Bahadur Group. Furthermore, Pakistan has accused Afghanistan of providing sanctuary to the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), an allegation that Kabul has denied. These internal security challenges are occurring alongside calls from Baloch groups regarding the nature of the state itself.
