Pakistan’s internal security dilemma Pakistan has been struggling with increasing violent attacks since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in 2021, especially in the border provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. Pakistan’s support for cross-border terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir blocks efforts to build peace and dialogue with India.
