Lithuania, a North European country, has identified terrorist groups operating in Afghanistan as a serious threat to its national security.
According to Afghan Khaama Press, terrorist activities flourishing under the backing of the Afghan Taliban regime have become a concern for multiple countries.
Lithuania has specifically warned about the growing influence of ISIS-Khorasan (ISIS-K) and its recruitment efforts targeting citizens within the country.
A government report from Lithuania highlighted that ISIS-K is using social media to radicalize Lithuanian citizens. Additionally, terrorist organizations operating in Afghanistan are reportedly targeting young people across Central Asia with extremist propaganda.
The report also noted that Kyrgyzstan has previously expressed strong concern over ISIS’s online attempts to recruit youth. Since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, the country has reportedly become a haven for extremist and dangerous groups, including ISIS, al-Qaeda, and others.
Global experts argue that the Taliban’s reliance on revenue from warfare, drugs, and terrorism to maintain power is isolating the regime internationally. The spread of terrorism and extremist activities from Afghanistan continues to pose significant security risks worldwide.
