What connects a cricket boycott, a Chinese oil scandal, and a press conference without women journalists? All roads lead to Afghanistan and a fragile ceasefire that could redefine Pakistan’s borders.

In this episode of The Story Behind, journalist Iftikhar Firdous (Khorasan Diary) joins Nukta Pakistan Editor Amber Shamsi to decode the Pakistan–Afghanistan Doha ceasefire, the TTP’s violent resurgence, and China’s growing frustration with the Taliban.

From Faiz Hameed’s 'chai diplomacy' to Field Marshal Asim Munir’s Operation Azm-e-Istehkam, we trace the tense journey that brought Pakistan and Afghanistan to the brink of war and explore how the October 2025 Doha Accord could reshape South Asia’s power balance.
