UN confirm BLA TTP Terror Nexus in Afghanistan
UN confirm BLA TTP Terror Nexus in Afghanistan
As a part of the terror network, the UN verified the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the two infamous militant groups working together inside Afghanistan. It is pointed that their assistance on Afghan territory is a thoughtful risk to regional security and peace. This article attempts to stretch a clear and a precise information of this alliance, its consequences, and the reactions to it, with a special importance on the combative silence of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) in the face of these serious events.
UN Reports Reveals Close Coordination Between TTP and BLA Using Afghan Territory for Cross Border Terrorism Against Pakistan
According to the current report from the UN Security Council, the TTP and BLA continue to organize thoroughly and share working logistics from Afghan territory.
Initially, an Al-Qaeda sprout, the BLA now works with the TTP in at least four major camps, including Walikot and Shorabak. These camps aid as supportive bases where the two groups share resources and can plan attacks.
the consequences are terrible because these groups use Afghanistan as a place of refuge to carry out attacks especially on Pakistan. The Doha Agreement that was to lessen the militant activity in the region and for peace perseverance was openly broke by this use of an Afghan land for cross border terrorism. This approval supports Pakistan’s strong posture against the cross border terrorism and accords with an increase in the violent attacks in Pakistan that are strategic by these groups.
Baloch Yakjehti Committees Silence on BLA Human Rights Violations
The BYC, which is politically representative of Baloch interests, has strangely remained silent about the BLA’s violent crimes and the human rights violations (HRVs) in Balochistan despite the UN’s critical evidence.
Important questions about the BYC’s position have been elevated by their failure to openly condemn the BLA and TTP terror association.
The BYC often promotes the BLA’s confrontational actions, but it does not supporter for the Baloch community’s victims of BLA violence.
Extensive criticism has been absorbed at this silence, giving emphasis to the conflict between the ethnic political narratives and the brutal realities of terror imposed on the local common people.
Still unanswered is why BYC supports a group that the UN pointed in its report.
Shared Terror Camps and Operations in Afghanistan
Tactical bases for their joint operations are the terror sites that are home based to both BLA and TTP militants, such as Walikot and Shorabak. These camps make it stress free to organize attacks, share preparation, and supply weapons and logistics. The UN report shows that, these sites serve as centers backing terrorist attacks against Pakistan, jeopardizing regional stability. For instance, the terrible event of the BLA militants‘ takeover of the Jaffar Express train on March 11, 2025, claimed 31 lives, including 21 hostages. This brutal attack confirmed the toxic efficacy and the coordination between BLA and TTP agents and were executed with training and logistical support that were perhaps made possible by these camps.
Violation of Doha Agreement and International Validation of Pakistan’s Stance
The Doha Agreement, which beholden all the parties to stop extremist organizations from using Afghan land as a base of the operations against their neighbors, is broken. As, the Afghan land is using as a catalyst for assaults against Pakistan. Pakistan’s claims that these are not out of the way threats but somewhat are a part of an efficient cross border terror network are supported by UN report and ongoing international evaluations. The recent thwart in attacks including sophisticated weapons has been recognized by international observers to the support these groups obtain while working freely in Afghanistan. The reality of terrorist organizations with a UN listing prospering in these conditions highlights the negation of the Doha Agreement’s requirements. Pakistan now has international support for its posture that these terrorist organizations pose a direct warning to its national security.
Proposed Solutions
It is important to sponsor for a multidimensional strategy to report this threat given by the recognized BLA and TTP terror connection and the lasting difficulties. Primarily, the international community led by the United Nations and comprising local powers must apply political and tactful pressure on the de facto Afghan government to undo terror camps and cut off assistance to these extremist organisations. To halt attacks before they happen, strong intellect sharing and cross border counterterrorism operations should be walked up. Political organizations like the BYC also need to reconsider their position; helping Baloch speech that firmly denounces terrorism could promote true peace and spoil militant groups’ staffing efforts. Since violence dedicated against innocent civilians crosses the ethnic boundaries and threatens regional stability, ethnic narratives should not be used to defend against terrorism.
An instant security threat to Pakistan and the wider region is highlighted by the UN’s confirmation of a combined terror network between the TTP and BLA in Afghanistan. In accumulation to violating the key Doha Agreement, this association is involved in the cross border attacks that have killed frequent innocent people. Despite a wealth of evidence, efforts to politically resolve the conflict are hindered by political organizations like the BYC’s silence about the BLA’s intense actions. The position of Pakistan on the cross border terrorism had been authenticated internationally, which shows or demonstrates the need of swift and in step action to destroy these terrorists’ networks. Enduring peace in this unbalanced area can only be attained by regional diplomacy, coordinating international cooperation, and the political agents clear cut rejection of violent extremism. Though terrorism assumes ethnic and ideological slogans, which still shows a serious threat to human security, this situation needs to be recognized and addressed.
