i'm british manager wrote them to did up the news asia judge could join us, but just on is facing an increase in attacks by the party on taliban. just last month, the militant storm, the police compound in karachi, the group is also suspected to be behind a suicide bombing in january that killed at least a 100 in a mosque impish over the attacks have increased since the group walked out of obesity with the pakistan government last november, since then at least a 100 attacks in the country have been blamed on them. most have targeted police personnel. it's left the government in the dilemma. how can pakistani citizens feel safe when police themselves don't? you know, a police officer at this outpost impish. our in northwestern pakistan is kidded out with a rocket propelled grenade launcher. it's part of a new campaign to help security forces fight back against a spate of attacks by pakistani taliban. it's one of dozens of scattered outposts

in a zone where the police face almost daily assaults by militants. what's up? okay, what's up? the pakistani taliban known as the t t p, has stepped up its activity, including the deadliest single attack on the force. a mosque bombing, the killed over 80 police in pasha are in late january these i posed stand at the edge of the government's full control, facing mountainous areas and their militant hyde outs along the afghan border. pasha wire is just over 50 kilometers from the afghan frontier through the khyber pass a key trade route and a strategic military location will almost a year deal with me would be the gigabyte. really. the biggest problem we face is the number of personnel, which is a little low. so this will just be a, have a good number of weapons inside our ground floor store. he will know this is

a targeted area and we're absolutely face to face with the militants. oh, good, yes, hold on. a windows or a interlock fuller lived in you within to live without order the. the intensive training is aimed at boosting skills and morale. the number of police killed has been rising sharply up to 119 last year from 54 and 2021. more than 2100 personnel have been killed since 2001. the taliban stated aim is to impose islamic religious law in pakistan just as they did across the border. pakistani forces have scored a string of military victory since 2014, but taliban fighters were able to regroup a tax on police officers of escalated since the hurried departure from afghanistan of nato forces in 2021. there had been disproportionately affected. that's a fact. i'm not going to sit and say that that would have been given by has been

given. busy on the prediction, as much prediction as it can give. but the trip that is emanated is off of that he ah, unique nature. local police complained that there underpaid and have a lower status than the pakistani army electricity is in short supply plus, dealing with an insurgent and a suicide best is a daunting prospect, even for well trained, well equipped personnel. gentlemen of a more context on this is michael goldman, his director of the south asia institute at the wilson center. think tank in washington, d. c. michael, what is the poly bon end game in pakistan? well, i think that the taliban or the t t p is the pakistan on is known as keen to replicate in pakistan. what the taliban afghanistan was able to do in that country. it's not something that the t t p will be able to do, but it wants to try and this is why we're seeing in recent months,

intensifying attacks by the t t p on the security establishment on state forces on the army on soldiers and indeed, and especially in recent weeks on police as well. so the focus on thought of on knows and understands that had gotten tired of defeat the focused on the state. and if that is the case, is it just a case of hedging their bets and seeing how far they can go? yeah, that's certainly part of it. and also, i mean, a t, t p has long had a fight to, to wage against pakistan. the security forces that it use as having been allied with the u. s. government when it was waiting as war in afghanistan. and certainly other t t p has long been very unhappy about how the pakistani military has stage counterterrorism offences against a t t p. that, of course, eliminated many, many t t p fighters over the years. so on many levels, what we're seeing with this t t p campaign in pakistan now is a campaign of revenge trying to hit out at the pakistani security forces army and,

and police. and i think that one reason we're seeing so many attacks on police in recent weeks is that the t t p use the police is somewhat of a more easier and therefore attractive target than any security forces. particularly, as we seen, the police unfortunately have lacked a capacity to quickly. and these very sophisticated assaults that the t t p is carried out. and we've seen it, particularly in the most recent case army commandos have to come in to try to end these assaults by the t t. and how much support does it have from the i've gone thought about as part of sounds, government and ledges does well, i mean the, the afghan taliban and the pakistani columbine has long been closely allied. they're not the same organization. they're different, but they longly been ideologically aligned and for quite some time during the, when the war enough canister was being waged, you had a number of instances where pakistani taliban fighters would work alongside afghan

taliban fighters, operationally they were cooperating as well. now the, the ttp has long been been loyal to to the power button and it has long professor to allegiance to the supreme leadership of the afghan taliban. and they can tell of on refers to return the favor. quite frankly, it is providing space if not sanctuary. to the senior ttp leadership inside afghanistan. now i'm not saying that the power button is arming the t t p and sending it into pakistan to carry out attacks. but we can talk about certainly look in the other way to say the least when it comes to the ttp, enjoying space in sanctuary and then and crossing the border into pakistan to carry out attack does tend to be also serve any strategic ideal. the strategic goal of the gun taliban has when it comes to dealing with the pockets on government and

tell them looks at the t t p is a source of leverage in the sense that i hope that maybe you could get something out of pakistan. again, pakistan to make some type of major concession to the afghan taliban in returned to the afghan tower on making set concessions to pakistan. a t t issue for instance, you know, the possibility of, of trying to get pakistan to recognize the afghan taliban regime. and then in return, the afghan taliban would, would try to make some concessions, such as perhaps trying to pressure t t p leaders to leave afghanistan. i don't actually think that that's going to be the case, but i do think that there's something to this idea that maybe the african tal on things that can use the t t p as a bargaining chip to try to get something out of the pakistani state it's all about has also long had things for the i've gone on. so why isn't it being able to prevail on going to end this support of the part of on one factor is, is, is the very close links between the 2 tower bonds. let's put it this way. the

african taliban is allied with many milliken groups and that is better base to knock an extended pakistan from al qaeda to a number of regional terrorist groups. and the caliber had never turned on any of these milton allies. it is fighting against the islamic state or a son, but as long as the court has always been arrival of the telephone, so the telephone never turned on any but milton allies including the ttp. so that's one factor. i also think that the taliban in afghanistan wants to assert its independence from pakistan from its former patron. it was long dependent on pakistan for sanctuary when the war in afghanistan was raging. but another, the war had ended for now. i think that the taliban wants to show the african people who on many levels, mistrust pakistan in a way that the taliban no longer has to be reliant on pakistan. it's no longer going to do his bidding. it's no longer going to roll over and, and cow town to the time, has many states and do and pakistan to ask the taliban to do so. i think that's

another factor at play as well. in 2014 michael, for the artist on taliban attacked an army school and push over the army. the army up. it's offensive against the militants. do you see a similar response taking shape now? yeah, certainly there's a, there's a big debate raging in pakistan now about what type of response we might see, what kind of connecticut connecticut kinetic response we might see from the pakistani military. but i think it's unlikely we'll see anything akin to, to what happened in 2014 anytime soon. because for one reason it's a very fractured political environment in pakistan right now. and so there's no political, there's no broader political consensus in favor of a major counterterrorism offenses. also, there's a severe economic crisis in pakistan right now. pakistan could be just 2 weeks away from a default. and so i think that he can amicably could be very difficult to muster the resources at this point to mount and major counter terrorism offensive against

the ttp. and another issue is i think that, you know, the army would have to figure out what type of offensive we want to actually mount the television. because the senior pk leadership is based in afghanistan. so the most effective tactical operation might be one that, that involve operation didn't get to that, but that could really set tensions. it really potentially with the taliban in afghanistan on an even higher level, which is a big risk for pakistan. but if it maintained it, it limits to cancel offenses only to pakistan. it may not get to the root of the problem, which is enough. we leave it that all of the better talking to michael, go on. thank you so much for joining us. thanks for having me. ah, for ministers of the world's 20 most advanced and emerging economies have met in delhi. the g 20 this year was said to discuss amongst other issues, rushes you along. invasion of ukraine managed economic impacts. you are
