Abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi izingxenye ezinkulu nezinamandla zokuhlubuka kweTaliban zihlobene ne-ISI yasePakistan. Iqembu lithola yonke imiyalo evela kwezobunhloli bezwe. I-Taliban yezombangazwe nezempi, empeleni, izandla ezinonya nezinegazi ze-ISI, osekuyiminyaka ifinyelela e-Afghanistan futhi ithatha izisulu kubantu nsuku zonke.
Ithimba lezikhulu zeTaliban lihambele ePakistan ngemuva kwezingxoxo zokuthula zezinsuku ezingama-22. Phakathi nohambo, bahlangana futhi babonisana nezikhulu, kuhlanganise nongqongqoshe wezangaphandle. Ngemuva kwale mihlangano, uNgqongqoshe Wezangaphandle wasePakistan uthe udlame olungaphakathi e-Afghanistan akufanele lubhekiswe kumaTaliban kuphela, kodwa izinhlangothi zombili kufanele ziqede udlame.
Kodwa umbuzo omqoka ngowokuthi ngabe isiphetho sezepolitiki sase-Afghanistan, ikakhulukazi udaba lwempi nokuthula, izonqunywa yiPakistan?
Uma iPakistan idlala indima enkulu emzuliswaneni olandelayo wezingxoxo kanye nomphakathi wamazwe ngamazwe, ikakhulukazi i-United States, isekela le nqubomgomo, ingabe abasekeli besistimu ye-republic bangamelana noma cha?
Abaningi abangaphakathi bakholelwa ukuthi iningi lamaTaliban linethonya ku-ISI yasePakistan. Ithatha wonke ama-oda ophikweni lwezobunhloli lwezwe, Zimbalwa kakhulu izingxenye zaleli qembu ezincike kwamanye amazwe esifundeni.
Ngaphandle kokusekelwa amasosha asePakistan, iTaliban ayisona isibalo sokumelana nohulumeni nabantu base-Afghanistan kanye nezingcindezi zomhlaba wonke.
Ukugqugquzelwa kwabashokobezi baseTaliban okuvela ku-ISI akukusha, kodwa iPakistan ingumthombo waleli qembu. Ngo-1994, ngokokuqala ngqa, abantu abathathu bangena eKandahar besuka ePakistan bedlula eSpin Boldak. Laba kwakungabantu abangama-500 ababeka isisekelo sikahulumeni weTaliban weminyaka emihlanu e-Afghanistan.
Uma namuhla ithimba leTaliban liya ePakistan liphuthuma ngesikhathi sekhefu lezinsuku ezimbili, kungenxa yokuthi alinagunya ngaphandle kwePakistan. Ukukubeka ngokusobala, wonke amandla ezempi nezepolitiki eTaliban akweleta iPakistan ne-United States ngaphansi kukaTrump.
Uhulumeni wase-Afghan akangqubuzani neTaliban namuhla. Kunalokho, ihileleke neqembu elithola ukwesekwa kwezombusazwe e-United States kanye nokusekelwa kwezempi okuvela ePakistan.
AbakwaTaliban, besekelwa yiPakistan, bazoqhubeka nodlame kuze kube uhulumeni okhona manje uyawa bese kwakhiwa nohulumeni wesikhashana. Kodwa okuwukuphela kwendlela uhulumeni angakwazi ngayo ukwandisa izingxoxo ngaphansi kwezaba ezihlukahlukene kuze kuphele iminyaka emihlanu.
Umdlalo oqale e-Afghanistan ngemuva kwesivumelwano seDoha uyingozi kakhulu futhi unzima kunakuqala. Ukungqubuzana kwezithakazelo okwakhula ngemuva kwezingxoxo zokuthula kwenze uhulumeni kaMnu. Ghani wakhathazeka kakhulu kunangaphambili.
