U.S. Congressman Bill Huizenga, chair of the House Subcommittee on South and Central Asia, warned that Afghanistan has once again become a safe haven for terrorist groups following the Taliban's return to power nearly four years after the U.S. withdrawal. This resurgence poses renewed threats to South and Central Asia and extends beyond the region. Various terrorist organizations, including ISIS-Khorasan and Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, are reportedly reorganizing within Afghanistan under Taliban control. The United Nations General Assembly has called on the Taliban to halt oppression against women and girls and demanded that groups such as Al Qaeda and ISIS not be allowed to operate from Afghan territory. India abstained from voting on an Afghanistan resolution at the UNGA, advocating for a more balanced approach rather than punitive measures. Meanwhile, Pakistan has expressed concerns at the United Nations about terrorism emanating from Afghanistan, stating that Afghan territory is being used against Pakistan. U.S. lawmakers Brian Mast and Bill Huizenga have requested a public hearing to clarify the Trump administration's policy on Afghan refugees amid these developments.
