Terrorism and Cross-Border Crime From Afghanistan Pose Serious Threat to Central Asian Stability

Growing concerns have emerged internationally over the spread of terrorism and drug smuggling from Afghanistan under Taliban rule.

According to the US-based publication Eurasia Review, the security situation in Afghanistan remains a serious concern for neighbouring countries.

Tajikistan faces threats linked to infiltration from Afghanistan, extremism, drug smuggling and other illegal activities.

Amid fears that terrorism could spread from Afghanistan, Russia has reaffirmed its commitment to further strengthening Tajikistan’s border with Afghanistan.

Security and defence experts say the Taliban government has failed to fulfil its international commitments and continues to provide a safe haven for militant groups.

These developments have raised concerns about regional security and stability across Central Asia.
