ISLAMABAD, Oct 28 (APP): The Afghan Taliban regime’s General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI) has orchestrated a coordinated disinformation campaign aimed at maligning Pakistan by coercing Afghan nationals into making false video confessions, according to sources.
The Afghan GDI is actively recording staged statements of detained Afghan nationals. Under duress, these individuals are being forced to claim affiliations with the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) or various anti-Taliban resistance movements, alleging that they received combat training at covert bases inside Pakistan to launch operations against the Taliban regime.
The engineered narratives are part of a deliberate effort by the interim Afghan administration to deflect mounting international pressure regarding its failure to neutralize terrorist sanctuaries within Afghanistan.
Sources further disclosed that the Taliban regime plans to formally present these fabricated confessions to regional neighbors—including Russia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Iran—in an attempt to mislead the international community and strain Pakistan’s diplomatic relations across Central Asia.
In addition to diplomatic engagements, the regime intends to proliferate these staged videos across social media platforms.
Senior Taliban officials have reportedly been briefed to reference these coerced statements during upcoming media interactions and international briefings.
Analysts note that the strategy specifically targets regional security concerns, particularly Russia’s focus on the growing threat posed by ISKP.
By attempting to frame Pakistan as the origin of the terrorist menace, the Kabul regime seeks to escape accountability for its inability—or unwillingness—to fulfill its international counter-terrorism commitments.
