The neighbours have agreed to an immediate ceasefire after a week of cross-border violence.
Pakistan and Afghanistan have agreed to stop fighting, after talks in the Qatari capital, Doha.
Cross-border violence in the past week or so marked the most serious escalation since 2021, when the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan.
Islamabad accuses Kabul of harbouring fighters from Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, an armed group that’s stepped up attacks in Pakistan. Afghanistan’s Taliban leaders deny the accusations.
Mediators say the foundations have been laid for long-term peace. But what are the guarantees? And how does the conflict play out regionally?
