Following the emergence of ISIS in Afghanistan and its official declaration announcing the same, new security threats surfaced in the region. However, this time, the threat posed by ISIS was not limited just to the government, but posed a major ordeal for the Taliban leaders and cadre.

ISIS announced that anyone who did not pledge allegiance to them was a rebel and “Khawarijs” or “Kharjites”, and the punishment for them was death.

Similar to its mentors of ISIS, the local branch of ISIS in Afghanistan, the “Islamic State Khorasan Province” (ISKP) committed unprecedented atrocities and oppressed the people in the region on an incomparable scale. Neither the Taliban Mujahideen nor civilians were safe from their cruelty as they brutally destroyed anyone who stood against them.

Through their deceitful and false propaganda, recorded videos, and appeals to Muslims, especially the youth, they were able to impress and attract a significant number of followers. As their numbers grew, so did their arrogance and cruelty.

As a result, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan under Taliban recognized the seriousness and significance of the matter and pledged to eradicate this tribulation.

This was happening even as the Taliban was engaged in fighting against America and its allies. The Taliban realized that it also had to fight an enemy which was donning Mujahid’s costume, but was composed of brainwashed and misled youth.

Despite limited resources, the Islamic Emirate, utilizing its full strength, not only dispelled their false propaganda but also initiated military operations against ISKP.
