🏳️❗Collaborate & sympathize
The Taliban also officially confirmed the reports of the US air strike, condemning and stating that this violates the Doha agreements and the repetition of such attacks could negatively affect the existing capabilities of the two sides (generally expressed deep concern). Zawahiri’s family was reportedly evacuated from their home by the Taliban shortly after the strike.

🏴❗🏳 The Future
The death of Ayman al-Zawahiri will inevitably weaken the position of al-Qaeda, at least for a while.

🏴❗Asssination advantages
The one who will certainly take advantage of the situation is the Indian subcontinent branch of ISIS - "Vilayat Khorasan". Against the background of the loss of leader by al-Qaeda and the inevitable reputational costs of the Taliban in the jihadist community associated with the death of al-Zawahiri, ISIS now has a good chance to seize the initiative and strengthen its position in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and in the future in other countries region.

🏴❗ Future of Qaeda
Al-Qaeda has always considered America as its priority target. ISIS is more interested in the countries of the region - Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central Asia. The destruction of al-Zawahiri is a gesture that works for the security of the United States and, at the same time, objectively strengthens the terrorist groups aimed against the countries of the region. As they say, nothing personal, just business.
