Have the Taliban ever conducted any operations in Tajikistan? I know people go back and forth over the river (I went to Badakshan once and saw them swim across!), so there's contact, but I don't think the Taliban have a habit of going to Tajikistan to take hostages or anything like that?
- geoka9 2y agoI haven't heard of any, FWIW. And they are the official government in Afghanistan now, so I would think it's not their thing anymore? (I can be wrong, of course.)

I don't think they have. It also wouldn't really make sense for them to do that. The Taliban mostly have issues with Iran and Pakistan so you will see conflicts with these nations most often in the news. I've never heard of them in conflict with any of the other stans. Badakhshan is also quite distant from the core of Taliban power which is mostly in the South. Northern Afghanistan is traditionally Northern Alliance territory.
- rvense 2y agoThe Taliban might be keeping more of an eye on the border than the previous Afghan government did, though, for that reason.
