President Biden’s decision to withdraw all American forces from Afghanistan by September 2021 is allegedly seen as a victory for Pakistan. However, the planned withdrawal and its implications on Pakistan could be acute, ranging from the proliferation of widespread violence from Afghanistan to different and changing dynamics in the relations with its neighbors and potential risk for its domestic stability.
 

From June 14 to June 19, 2021, Wikistrat ran an online simulation that explored the impact of different post-US withdrawal scenarios on Pakistan. 30 South Asia experts participated in the simulation, explored potential implications of different scenarios, and assessed their probability and risk for Pakistan and the region.
