What Khalil Haqqani Meant for Pakistan

The assassination of Khalil Haqqani, Afghanistan’s former Minister for Refugees, has left Pakistan without a crucial voice within the Afghan Taliban government. Known for his influential role, especially in mediating between Pakistan and the Taliban, Haqqani’s death marks a significant loss. Despite being targeted by the US, Haqqani had an important impact on peace efforts, particularly involving the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). His death signals a grim development for Pakistan, as it loses a significant figure in the ongoing complex relationship with Afghanistan.
