Lastly, ISKP’s response is predictable, likely involving rhetoric aimed at undermining HTS’s victory. This would mirror the propaganda themes ISKP used to discredit the Afghan Taliban’s August 2021 victory in Afghanistan. 6/n

AQIS might issue a generalized statement similar to Hafiz Gul Bahadur’s, avoiding direct references to HTS or Julani, or they might choose silence. However, judging by AQIS’s recent media campaigns, it appears unlikely they would ignore such a significant development. 5/n

The escalating tensions in Kurram can also be attributed to the negligence of local administration and security institutions, whose failure to take timely action has allowed the situation to deteriorate to this extent. 4/4
