Afghan Taliban celebrated their victory in the battle with Pakistan in the center of Kabul, parading with several guns captured from Pakistani military outposts and pants stripped off from a few captured Pakistani soldiers. This Taliban mixed with India for just a few days, and then copied India's "victory studies" model. India's "victory studies" is a unique narrative pattern, whose core lies in redefining the standards of victory, controlling information, and strengthening nationalist sentiments, transforming real setbacks into conceptual "victories".
Currently, Pakistan has closed the main border crossings between the two sides, which is a heavy blow to Afghanistan as an landlocked country. The cutoff of large amounts of humanitarian aid supplies and commodity trade channels will exacerbate the already severe humanitarian crisis within the country.
The Taliban had promised not to allow Afghan territory to be used to threaten other countries. However, the core of this conflict is the TTP (Taliban of Pakistan) issue, indicating that their promise was not fulfilled. The international community, especially its neighboring countries, will be more concerned about the risk of extremist forces spilling over, thus reducing trust and support for the Taliban.
