The 36th Report of the UN Monitoring Team has provided analysis of militant organizations operating across the Afghanistan-Pakistan frontier, offering crucial insights into evolving terrorist capabilities and regional security dynamics.

The Taliban's governance continues to provide a permissive environment for multiple terrorist groups, enabling cross-border operations. Notable findings include:

  • Tehrik-e-Taliban’s expanded presence with 6,000 fighters conducting high-profile attacks in Pakistan

  • Sophisticated financing networks leveraging cryptocurrency and Middle Eastern real estate

  • Coordinated operations between Tehrik-e-Taliban, Balochistan Liberation Army, and Al-Qaida elements

  • Active foreign fighter movements creating new operational theaters beyond AfPak

The Durand Dispatch has distilled these insights into an accessible infographic, with a summary of these critical developments.
