Pakistan afghan conflict is a new war in south Asia and they effect south and central Asia like economy is mostly effected. Pakistan persists with a posture of repeated cross-border strikes and seeks or signals support for regime change in Kabul, we should expect a long and bitter conflict rather than a quick solution.Afghanistan has been a land of guerrilla warfare for centuries. Fighters often abandon their posts, disappear for some time, and then resume attacks after a few days. This same pattern has also been observed in recent clashes. To think that after a few attacks the threat from Afghanistan will end is nothing more than a naive illusion.If Pakistan truly believes that changing the government there will solve all problems, then the question arises: will groups like Tehrik-i-Taliban Afghanistan, Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, and ISIS disappear afterward? Certainly not. Neither does Pakistan have enough resources, nor does Afghanistan’s new government have the capability to use those resources to completely eliminate terrorism.The real solution lies in dialogue and diplomatic negotiations. Pakistan should ensure that all Muslim countries, or a neutral third party, help facilitate talks and reach an agreement with the Afghan government so that the issue can be resolved on a lasting basis. Otherwise, if the dispute continues in this manner, it will turn into a long and exhausting war that will harm both countries.
