According to a argument issued past times the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), terrorists from across the Afghan border engaged inwards a 'fire raid' at the check-post, prompting regular army officials to rapidly retaliate. Military sources say that, due to the extensive fencing along the border, terrorists cannot physically onset posts as well as immediately resort to 'fire raids' — concerted targeting of Pakistani assets from a distance.
On June 24, 2018, a Islamic Republic of Pakistan Army soldier, identified every bit Sepoy Niaz Ali, was killed inwards an telephone commutation of burn downwards betwixt militants within Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan as well as Pakistani SFsdeployed at a check-post inwards the North Waziristan District of KP.

ISPR disclosed that the attacks targeted border posts as well as border fencing parties. SF personnel had foiled 7 infiltration attempts inwards the Bajaur surface area lone during the preceding 24 hours. An ISPR Press Release stated,
Four safety personnel as well as a soldier of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Air Force, deployed at an observation post, got injured during the telephone commutation of fire… Taking wages of ungoverned spaces as well as [with] facilitation [from] within Afghanistan, terrorists are resorting to such attacks to forbid fencing as well as construction of border posts.
On May 13, 2018, at to the lowest degree half dozen Islamic Republic of Pakistan Army personnel, including a junior commissioned officer, were killed as well as some other injured inwards a terrorist onset nigh the Afghan border inwards the Shawal Valley surface area of the North Waziristan District inwards KP.

H5N1 argument issued past times the ISPR said that a grouping of “terrorists was reported to withdraw maintain infiltrated from across as well as was hiding inwards a compound” inwards Gharlamai area.
According to partial information compiled past times the Southern Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP), at that topographic point withdraw maintain been 10incidents of firingfrom the Afghan side of the border,in which thirty militants (21 inwards Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan as well as nine inwards Pakistan) as well as 23 Pakistani SF personnel (all inwards Pakistan)have been killed inwards the electrical current yr (data till Oct 21, 2018). The whole of 2017 had recorded xvi incidents of cross-border engagements inwards which 35 militants (all inwards Afghanistan), xv Pakistani SF personnel (all inwards Pakistan) as well as eleven civilians(all inwards Pakistan) were killed.
In a serial of tweets posted on his official account, ISPR Director General (DG) Major General Asif Ghafoor had,however,disclosed, on Nov 13, 2017, that at that topographic point had been an increasing tendency of cross-border attacks on Pakistani posts from Afghanistan. Almost 308 such attacks had taken identify inwards 2017, the highest number since 2012, when 324 attacks were reported. On an average at that topographic point withdraw maintain been 248 attacks every yr since 2012. About 29 soldiers withdraw maintain been killed inwards the attacks betwixt 2012-17.
The problem, however, is far to a greater extent than needlelike inwards Afghanistan, with Pakistan-based terrorist formations dominating vast regions as well as continuously executing a barrage of terrorist as well as militant attacks on Afghan soil, both against SFs as well as civilians. According to the United Nations Assistance Mission (UNAMA) Mid Year Report released on July 15, 2018, for instance, the number of civilians killed inwards Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan hitting a tape high inwards the start one-half of 2018, with 1,692 civilian fatalities – the highest recorded inwards the same fourth dimension menstruum inwards whatever yr over the lastly decade since the means began documenting civilian casualties inwards 2009. There were 1,672 civilian deaths inwards 2017, 1644 inwards 2016 as well as 1615 inwards 2015 inwards the same fourth dimension period.
Kabul has, for long, held Islamic Republic of Pakistan responsible for violence within Afghanistan. Most recently, subsequent to emergence of reports stating that militants who participated inwards Ghazni onset retreated to Islamic Republic of Pakistan as well as were taking handling there, Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani on August 27, 2018, stated
General Bajwa [Pakistan Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa], you lot signed a document with us as well as told me repeatedly inwards our conversations over the telephone that when the elections [in Pakistan] are over you lot volition pay attending to it. I require answers now... From where they came as well as why are they receiving handling inwards your hospitals?
The Taliban assaulted Ghazni, the working capital alphabetic lineament of the province also called Ghazni, a calendar week before as well as over the subsequent days of clashes reportedly killed an estimated 500 people, including SF personnel, insurgents as well as civilians. The Afghan armed services at the fourth dimension had alleged unusual militants, including Arabs, Chechens as well as Pakistanis participated inwards the fighting.
Earlier, unveiling his Southern Asia Policy, U.S. of A. President Donald Trump had noted on August 21, 2017,
…The adjacent pillar of our novel strategy is to alter the approach as well as how to bargain with Pakistan. We tin can no longer live soundless nearly Pakistan's condom havens for terrorist organizations, the Taliban, as well as other groups that pose a threat to the part as well as beyond. Islamic Republic of Pakistan has much to gain from partnering with our travail inwards Afghanistan. It has much to lose past times continuing to harbour criminals as well as terrorists…
Nevertheless, Kabul rejects the Pakistani fencing exercise. Islamic Republic of Pakistan as well as Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan has a contentious border. The conflict over the legitimacy of the Durand Line – the border imposed past times Imperial Britain – betwixt Islamic Republic of Pakistan as well as Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan is to a greater extent than than a century old. The Durand Line, named after British diplomat Mortimer Durand, was drawn inwards 1893 every bit the international border betwixt British Republic of Republic of India as well as Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan inwards an understanding with Afghan ruler Abdur Rahman Khan. No Afghan Government has accepted the border since the creation of Islamic Republic of Pakistan inwards 1947, on the grounds that the understanding with the British lapsed after their withdrawal from their Indian empire, as well as because it divides the Pashtun ethnic homeland as well as tribal communities living on both side of the border. These tribal populations are accustomed to moving dorsum as well as forth freely and, inwards some cases, ain solid ground on both sides of the border.
In September 2005, Islamic Republic of Pakistan announced for the start fourth dimension that it had plans to build a 2,611-kilometre debate (1,230km inwards KP as well as 1,381km inwards Balochistan) along its border with Afghanistan, purportedly to cheque armed militants as well as drug smugglers moving betwixt the ii countries. But Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan raised objections on the grounds that this was an endeavor to brand the disputed border permanent. Over a yr later, on Dec 26, 2006, Islamic Republic of Pakistan i time to a greater extent than declared its plans for mining as well as fencing the border, but was i time to a greater extent than opposed past times the Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan Government. The so President Hamid Karzai on Dec 28, 2006, said the moves would exclusively wound the people living inwards the part as well as would non stalk cross-border terrorism.
The former South Waziristan Agency of FATA saw escalating a border skirmishes inwards Apr 2007, with the start reported betwixt SFs of both the countries after Islamic Republic of Pakistan had initiated border fencing. Pakistani SFs operating inwards South Waziristan made a three-tier safety deployment on Apr 11, 2007, to halt cross-border infiltration past times militants from Afghanistan. Islamic Republic of Pakistan fenced 12-kilometers of its border stretch with Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan to ‘choke off’ cross-border infiltration, but Afghan troops tore downwards the debate on Apr 19, 2007, leading to a gun-battle, though at that topographic point were no casualties.
Between 2007 as well as 2013, Pakistan’s border fencing plans were non implementedfully due to internal terrorist violence as well as numerous Army operations inwards tribal areas. However,in 2011, s 35 kilometre (22 miles) long portion along selected border areas was fenced. However, the run was discontinued for lack of funds. On June 23, 2011, the so ISPR DG Major General Athar Abbas, disclosed: "We did debate only about 35km of the border surface area every bit it faced continuous militant incursions. It was a articulation projection of ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) as well as Afghanistan. But so they backed out. It was a real costly project”.
Again, inwards Apr 2013, Islamic Republic of Pakistan started earthworks run on a several hundred kilometre-long trench along the Balochistan border. After nearly 3 years of constant efforts, an 1,100-kilometre trench inwards Balochistan along the Afghan border was completed on June 20, 2016. The 11-foot-deep, 14-foot-wide ditch on the entire stretch of the border was excavated nether the supervision of Frontier Corps (FC) at a toll of PKR fourteen billion.
After the border skirmish with the Afghan Army inwards the Kali Luqman as well as Kali Jahangir areas of Chaman inwards Qilla Abdullah District of Balochistanon May 5, 2017, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Army initiated run on constructing a debate along the 2,611-kilometre long border betwixt Islamic Republic of Pakistan as well as Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan on June 20, 2017, with an anticipated budget of PKR 56 billion (USD 505 million). According to ISPR, the procedure of phased fencing on the Pak-Afghan border commenced on the directions of the of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa. In Phase 1, high infiltration-prone border areas inwards the Bajaur, Mohmand as well as Khyber agencies of FATA are beingness fenced. In Phase 2, fencing of the remaining border areas, including Balochistan, is to live executed. Besides fencing, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan Army as well as FC are constructing novel forts/border posts to amend surveillance as well as defensibility.
To demonstrate the progress on the Pak-Afghan border fencing, ISPR arranged a trip for journalists from the national impress media to Miramshah Valley on Feb 9, 2018. H5N1 senior Army officeholder at Miramshah Divisional Headquarters told the reporters that fencing on 830 kilometres of the 1,229 kilometre-long Pak-Afghan border roofing the Chitral as well as FATA region, would live completed past times Dec 2019. Thousands of soldiers as well as hundreds of vehicles are deployed at fourteen unlike sites on a daily footing to undertake the chore of fencing from Chitral to South Waziristan, putting inwards 7,000 man-hours for the installation of pre-fabricated material. The start stage of the project, which volition catch the fencing of 430 kilometres of the most critical points along the border, is slated to live completed past times the destination of 2018. The minute phase, called “desirable”, would catch the fencing of some other stretch of 400 kilometres. The entire projection was railroad train to live completed inwards over ii years.
As constituent of the project, construction of 150 of 443 planned forts, some on mountaintops every bit high every bit 12,000 feet, had been completed. Another 750 forts with an inter-fort distance of 1.5 to 3 kilometres, are nether construction or at a planning stage. Meanwhile, according to a Feb 10, 2018, report, at to the lowest degree 1,100 border posts withdraw maintain also been established.
Pakistan seems to live determined to move on with the fencing process.DG ISPR Major General Ghafoor vowed, on June 24, 2018, "We shall... consummate the fencing undeterred”, adding that Afghanistan’s cooperation was required [for fencing of the border], as well as that this was inwards the usual involvement of both countries.
Afghanistan, however, continues to insist that the installation of a physical barrier would brand this border permanent as well as is thus opposing construction. Kabul's Ambassador to Islamabad, Omar Zakhilwal, reiterated these objections spell speaking to the media on Oct 10, 2018,
We do oppose the barbed wire. That is against the closeness of the population on both sides as well as the interdependency that exists [between them]."
Pakistan’s unilateral fencing as well as construction of novel observation posts on the long border with Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan is a os of contestation betwixt the ii countries, as well as draws burn downwards from the militants every bit well, who withdraw maintain been crossing the border at will. The continuing militant attackson border establishments as well as the telephone commutation of burn downwards betwixt the Forces of both the countries demonstrates as well as compounds this irreducible conflict.

On March 3, 2018, a burn downwards grapple occurred betwixt militants of ZUF as well as NSCN-IM nigh Nungadang inwards Tamenglong District. No fatalities were reported.
According to partial information compiled past times the Southern Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP), the Naga militant groups – NSCN-IM as well as ZUF – withdraw maintain featured inwards 4 incidents of factional clashes inwards the electrical current yr so far (data till Oct 21, 2018) inwards Manipur, as well as these withdraw maintain resulted inwards the decease of 3 militants. In the corresponding menstruum of 2017, these ii groups were involved inwards onesuch incidentwhich inwards which i ZUF militant was killed. Through 2017, at that topographic point was exclusively this i incident of factional clash involving ZUF as well as NSCN-IM. In 2016 every bit well, at that topographic point was justone such clash, inwards which i ZUF militant was killed.
Since2011, a total of at to the lowest degree 28 clashes betwixt these ii outfits withdraw maintain been reported, resulting inwards the decease of 35 militants –12 NSCN-IM, thirteen ZUF, 3 NSCN-K,and 7 unidentified.Significantly,on June 21, 2012, NSCN-Khaplang (NSCN-K) as well as ZUF militants together carried out an onset targeting NSCN-IM cadres inHaochong hamlet inwards the Tamenglong District. In retaliatory burn downwards NSCN-IM cadres killedone ZUF as well as 3 NSCN-K militants. The start reported incident of a clash betwixt the NSCN-IM as well as ZUF took identify on March 5, 2011, at Khoupum inwards Tamenglong District. Three civilians withdraw maintain also been killed inwards clashes betwixt ZUF as well as NSCN-IMsince 2011 (till Oct 21, 2018).
Indeed, the rivalry as well as the resultant turf war betwixt the ii groups become dorsum to 2011, when ZUF was created, after a split with the NSCN-IM. ZUF, at the fourth dimension of its formation, defined its purported objectives: “We volition defend the solid ground as well as resources of the Zeliangrong people, our culture, our historical values, traditional as well as customary habitats of the Zeliangrong community.” In Nov 2011, ZUF had alleged that Zeliangrong lands (in Assam, Manipur as well as Nagaland) were shrinking twenty-four hours past times twenty-four hours because of encroachments past times the Dimasas inwards the Dima Hasao surface area of Assam; as well as past times the Semas inwards the Itangki wood inwards Nagaland. The Sematribe is primarily aligned with NSCN-IM.
The ii groups withdraw maintain antagonistic objective at introduce every bit well. NSCN-IM is engaged inwards peace talks with the Government of Republic of Republic of India (GoI) as well as is working for the integration of all Naga inhabited areas inwards Nagaland, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh as well as Assam. On July 23, 2018, R.N.

According to Government officials, the proposed accord does non alter the boundaries of the states.
The ZUF on the other has been continuing with its demand for separate statehood for the Zeliangrong people. On its 7th 'raising day' on Feb 25, 2018, a press release past times ZUF 'chairman' S.Kamson stated,
Today, I also would similar to appeal to the Government of Republic of Republic of India to seriously consider the legitimate as well as genuine demand of Zeliangrong people as well as grant Zeliangrong State at the earliest possible time. I also appeal to all the ethnic as well as indigenous communities inwards Northeast Republic of Republic of India to kindly cooperate with us inwards realizing the creation of a separate province for the Zeliangrong people.
Most recently, according to a press argument released on July 30, 2018,the NSCN-IM’s ‘joint council of the Steering Committee’ de-recognised the 3 apex Zeliangrong organizations – ZeliangrongBaudi (Assam, Manipur as well as Nagaland), Zeliangrong Youth Front (Assam, Manipur & Nagaland), as well as All Zeliangrong Students’ Union (Assam, Manipur & Nagaland).NSCN-IM reasoned that these 3 bodies were demanding a separate homeland for the Zeliangrong people inwards collaboration with ZUF. NSCN-IM alleged that ZUF made a annunciation on May 3, 2018, demanding a separate homeland for Zeliangrong people as well as afterward on June 29, 2018, the Zeliangrong Baudi (Assam, Manipur as well as Nagaland) also resolved to demand a Zeliangrong homeland. NSCN-IM added that ZUF as well as the Zeliangrong Baudi are ‘two sides of the same coin’.
Apart from the factional clashes betwixt NSCN-IM as well as ZUF, Manipur has also recorded 12 incidents of factional clashes betwixt NSCN-IM as well as other Naga Groups since 2011. Two of these involved NSCN-KholeKhitovi (NSCN-KK), currently known every bit NSCN-KhitoviNeopak (NSCN-KN), as well as NSCN-IM, inwards which ii NSCN-KK militants were killed. NSCN-IM has also been involved inwards clashes with NSCN-K on at to the lowest degree 10 occasions, resulting inwards 17 militant fatalities.
Manipur also recorded factional clashes betwixt Kuki groups –the United Tribal Liberation Army (UTLA), Kuki National Organisation (KNO), Kuki National Front (KNF), Kuki Revolutionary Army (KRA)and factions of KRA.Atleast15incidents of factional clashes betwixt these Kuki groups withdraw maintain occurred since 2011,resulting inwards the decease of nineteen Kuki militants (three each from Kuki Independence Army (KIA) as well as Kuki National Army-India (KNA-I); ii each from KNF-Zogram (KNF-Z), KNF-Nehlun (KNF-N), KNA, KLA, KNF-P; as well as i each from KRA-U as well as KLA; i unidentified).
Thus, the total number of factional clashes inwards the State since 2011 (till Oct 21, 2018) stands at 55 (40Naga factional clashes as well as xv Kuki clashes), with 74militant fatalities (55Naga as well as nineteen Kuki). Manipur has also seen ii internecine clashes within the ZUF, since 2011, resulting inwards the decease of 3 ZUF militants. During this menstruum (January 1, 2011, to Oct 21, 2018)Manipur recorded a total of 245militant fatalities, 31.42 per centum of which were due to factional/internecine clashes.
Insurgent violence inwards the State has definitely declined, with nineteen fatalities(six civilians, 7 Security Force personnel as well as half dozen Militants) recorded inwards the electrical current yr (data till Oct 21, 2018) every bit compared to 47 (21 civilians, v SF personnel as well as 21 militants)during the corresponding fourth dimension frame inwards 2017. Through 2017, the State recorded 55 fatalities (23 civilians, nine SF personnel, 23 militants). At peak, inwards 1997, Manipur saw every bit many every bit 495 militancy related fatalities.
Despite the dramatic diminution inwards fatalities, factional rivalries move on to fester. With the talks betwixt NSCN-IM as well as the Government re inwards their ‘final stage’, Manipur is probable to witness continuing incidents of factional clashes inwards the foreseeable future. Moreover, if the eventual understanding with NSCN-IM fails to residuum the conflicting interests of multiple stakeholders, the possibility of novel grievances feeding renewed cycles of violence cannot live excluded.
