Pakistan has raised a critical call to the international community via the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), urging decisive action against the rising threat of terrorism in the region. Highlighting the Majeed Brigade and other terrorist groups, Pakistan stressed the urgent need to address this growing security crisis.
The threat posed by Daesh, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), and the Majeed Brigade extends far beyond Afghanistan and Pakistan. It endangers the stability of the entire region and potentially the world. Pakistan’s UN Representative, Ambassador Munir Akram, highlighted this issue during a UN Security Council debate on the 20th biannual report on the global threat of Daesh.
Ambassador Akram highlighted Pakistan’s ongoing challenges with terrorist groups like TTP, Daesh, and the Majeed Brigade., which often operate from safe havens in neighboring territories. He highlighted a major oversight, noting that while Daesh’s threat is recognized, the dangers of the TTP and Majeed Brigade to Pakistan have been largely ignored.
Highlighting findings from the Monitoring Team’s report, Ambassador Akram reiterated that Afghanistan remains a primary hub for ISIL-K (Daesh) recruitment and facilitation. He strongly rejected any claim or indication that such recruitment is taking place within Pakistan. He also reaffirms the nation’s firm commitment to combating these terrorist forces.
“The threat posed by Daesh, TTP, and the Majeed Brigade is a shared challenge that demands collective action. This is not just Pakistan’s fight; it impacts the entire region and global peace,” stated Ambassador Akram. He also called on the Security Council to recognize the full scale of these threats and take decisive, coordinated action.
Recently, Balochistan witnessed an increase in militant activity, resulting in at least 24 attacks that claimed 26 lives. These included 11 security personnel, six civilians, and nine militants.
