Peshawar, Pakistan (AP) – every year on January 17, Shahana made a cake and invited friends to his home in Pakistan Peshawari City. They sang happy birthday to his son, even lit candles. But it’s birthday without a birthday.

His son, Asfand Khan, was December 15, 2014 when gunmen went berserk through state schools managed by military in Peshawar killed 150 people, most of them students, some Semahes 5. Asfand was shot three times in the middle.

The attackers were Pakistan Taliban, who had once again showed off their attacks, seemed brave with the return of the Afghan Taliban to power in Kabul. In the last week of December, they killed eight Pakistani army personnel in half a dozen attacks and counterattacks, all in the northwest of the country. Two other Pakistani soldiers were killed in the attack on Taliban posts at the end of Wednesday night.

Pakistan Taliban, which is known by TTP acronym, regrouped and reset, with their leadership headquartered in neighboring Afghanistan, according to report u.n. from July. It caused fear between Pakistan like Shahana from the return of the terrible violence the group had been caused.

But the Afghan Taliban did not show signs of expel TTP leaders or prevented them from carrying out attacks in Pakistan, even when Pakistan underwent an effort to get a world that was reluctant to engage with the new Afghan ruler and save the country from economic collapse.

This is a dilemma faced by all neighbors of Afghanistan and great strength such as China, Russia and the United States when they reflect on how to handle Kabul.

Some militant groups found a safe place in Afghanistan for more than four decades of war, and some of them, such as TTP, was a former allied Afghan Taliban battlefield.

So far, the Taliban has appeared in no way or cannot hurt it. The only exception is an affiliate of the Islamic State, which is the enemy of the Taliban and has conducted a violent campaign against them and for years against the Shiite Muslim Minority Afghanistan, killing hundreds in dozens of terrible attacks, schools, mosques, even maternity hospitals, even

Washington has identified the branch of the Islamic state, known as the IS-K acronym, because its main militant radiates from Afghanistan. Ally Ally Qaida, the old Taliban is not considered a strong threat. Although military leaders A.S. said there were signs that might grow a little, it struggled near without steering, with his current leader, Ayman Al-Zawahri, alive but unhealthy, according to the July report u.n.

However, there are many other militants based in Afghanistan, and they increase worries between neighboring Afghanistan.
