As the United States and its allies continues with the final phase of drawdown from Afghanistan, concerns have been growing that Pakistan youths could join the Afghan Taliban in large numbers.
After the US and its allies began to withdraw troops on May 1, clashes have surged dramatically in Afghanistan, with terror groups attempting to capture more territory as the September 11 deadline draws near.
Experts now warn that Afghanistan is at risk of sliding back into violence like in the 1990s when thousands of Pakistani militants helped the Taliban rise to power by fighting the Northern Alliance.
Although, the Taliban is banned in Pakistan, videos showing local clerics linked to the group soliciting support have emerged on Pakistani social media platforms.

New York [US], May 26 (ANI): The Taliban must immediately stop its undeclared offensive against civilians and civilian structures in Afghanistan, a top US diplomat said during a UN Security Council meeting on Tuesday on the issue of the impact of armed conflict on civilian populations.
