The Khorasan branch of ISIS (ISKP), which has been relocated to a neighboring country after being defeated in Afghanistan, has drawn the attention of a number of neighboring countries.
These countries are engaged in both direct and indirect communication with the remnants of ISKP, indicating a desire to negotiate and finalize a settlement with them.
The objectives of these countries in reaching this settlement are twofold:
1. To prevent ISIS from carrying out operations within their borders without their consent.
2. In exchange for this settlement, ISIS is granted certain privileges to be used in attacks within the region and globally.
These countries, particularly Pakistan, aim to utilize ISIS against their adversaries through this alliance. Furthermore, there are efforts to revive and mobilize certain disillusioned ISIS members who have either withdrawn from activity or surrendered.
Failing to acknowledge the perilous schemes orchestrated with ISIS in the vicinity of Afghanistan may result in grave repercussions for the world in the near future.
Moreover, global attention should be directed towards combating the emerging production centers of ISIS. Addressing the proliferation of Daesh’s influence across the region and worldwide requires concerted efforts, and to effectively counter the threat posed by the organization.
