– the problem of terrorism in Pakistan
Armed attacks have become more frequent in Pakistan, especially in the provinces of Haiber-Pakhtunhih and Belujistan, bordering Afghanistan.
In both provinces, armed groups declare that they defend the rights of Pashtunov and Beluja, organize attacks on the Pakistani security forces and the civilian population.
Islamabad claims that Pakistani Taliban are based in Afghanistan and organize their attacks from there, while the Afghan government denies these accusations.
