Now its own intelligence community believes that was a mistake, and that Pakistan will not be safe until the Taliban regime is gone. On 24 September, Pakistani warplanes and drones struck ten targets in Afghanistan, one of them in Kandahar, the city where the Taliban's supreme leader lives. Meanwhile, Islamabad is hosting the Afghan opposition, and anti-Taliban groups claimed 88 attacks in 21 provinces between May and July, according to the UN. But an all-out war is another matter. An invasion could turn Pashtuns on both sides of the border against Islamabad. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the gateway to Kabul, is governed by Imran Khan's party, which opposes the war. The oil crisis has pushed inflation to 11.7%, 43 of every 100 rupees the state spends go to debt, and Balochistan and India remain open fronts. In this video we answer three questions: why everything suggests Pakistan has already begun to act against the Taliban, how far Islamabad is backing the rebels, and why it is still holding back from an all-out war.
