— Assessment: Much of the پښتو « Pax̌to » territory on both sides of the supposed پاکستان « Pākistān » - افغانستان « Ɔafğānistān » border is under the control of the former theocratic rulers of افغانستان « Ɔafğānistān », one of the world’s most opressive forces, originally led by محمد عمر « Muham:ad Cumar » (1996-2013). Also noted for its alliance with أسامة بن لادن « Ɔusāmaĥ bin Lādan » and القاعدة « ɔal-Qācidaĥ ». In addition to perpetual bombings and suicide attacks, the various طالبان « Tālibān » engage in drug trafficking and kidnapping for ransom to finance their operations. The separate تحریک طالبان پاکستان « Tehrīk-i Tālibān Pākistān » was once centralized, but the 2009 death of بیت الله محسود « Bajt ɔul-Lah Mahsūd » largely ended that. محمد عمر « Muham:ad Cumar »’s 2013 death was not revealed until 2015. He was succeeded by اختر محمد منصور « Ɔaxtar Muham:ad Mansūr », killed in 2016, and then by هبت الله اخونزاده « Hibat ɔul-Lah Ɔaxūnzādah ».
