UN Report: Afghan Taliban Providing $43,000 Monthly Support to TTP

A recent United Nations Security Council (UNSC) report has revealed that the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) continues to receive financial and logistical support from the Afghan Taliban, contributing to a surge in terrorist activities in Pakistan.

According to the report, the Afghan Taliban provides $43,000 per month to the TTP, which has intensified its operations along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. The TTP carried out more than 600 attacks across Pakistan in 2024 alone, the report states.

TTP Presence in Afghanistan

Despite Pakistan’s repeated demands for action, the report confirms that the TTP maintains a stronghold in Afghanistan. New training centers have been identified in the Kunar, Nangarhar, Khost, and Paktika provinces. These facilities are reportedly being used to train militants for cross-border attacks into Pakistan.

The UN report further notes that these activities undermine regional stability, posing a threat to both Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Pakistan’s Response

Pakistan has consistently urged Afghan authorities to prevent militants from using Afghan soil for terror activities. Islamabad has also provided concrete evidence to Kabul regarding Afghan nationals’ involvement in terror incidents.

“Pakistan remains committed to working with regional and international partners to combat terrorism and secure its borders,” said an official from the Ministry of Interior.

Emerging Terrorist Alliances

The UNSC report also highlighted a growing alliance between:

  • TTP (Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan)
  • Balochistan Liberation Army’s (BLA) Majeed Brigade
  • ISIS-K (Islamic State Khorasan Province)
  • East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM)

These groups are reportedly coordinating operations and sharing resources, with support traced back to networks operating from Afghanistan.

Regional Security Implications

The report warns of escalating violence in border regions if financial support and training facilities are not dismantled. Pakistan has called on the international community, especially the UN and Afghan authorities, to take immediate action.

“Terrorism remains a collective challenge, and cooperation is essential to ensure peace in the region,” the statement concluded.
