With the 20th anniversary of 9/11 on the horizon, the Taliban has once again taken power in Afghanistan following the United States withdrawal. Why, in the midst of Afghans fleeing the country, is Afghanistan's neighbor, Pakistan, restricting refugees from entering the country?
In order to understand Pakistan's reluctance to provide humanitarian assistance to Afghans and support the U.S. withdrawal, we must look at U.S. - Pakistan relations, including both countries' involvement in Afghanistan pre-9/11 and the strain this relationship has endured post-9/11 during the 20 year "War on Terror".
Pakistan has played a pivotal role in supporting the U.S. military's attempts to turn Afghanistan into a modern, democratic state. However, as the U.S. attempts to close the chapter on its “War on Terror” in Afghanistan, Pakistan has been left to confront instability and radicalization within its own borders.
