FRACTURING FRONTIERS
From Damascus to the Durand Line
Syria, Regional Transformation, and the Pakistan-Afghanistan Security Crisis
(2024-2025)
The years 2024 and 2025 witnessed a seismic restructuring of geopolitical power across two interconnected yet often separately analyzed regions: the Middle East and South Asia. In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Naim Tahir Baig provides the first comprehensive analysis connecting these transformations as interlocking components of a broader pattern of regional instabilityone that has profound implications for global security, humanitarian concerns, and the future of state sovereignty in conflict zones.
This meticulously researched volume examines three historic transformations that occurred almost simultaneously: the lightning collapse of the Assad dynasty in Syria after 53 years of Ba'athist rule; the systematic dismantling of Iran's "Axis of Resistance" through unprecedented Israeli military operations; and the emergence of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as the world's fastest-growing terrorist organization, according to the Global Terrorism Index 2025. Drawing on primary sources including World Bank assessments, Congressional Research Service reports, UN documentation, and verified journalism from conflict zones, Dr. Baig demonstrates how these crises are fundamentally interconnected through Regional Security Complex Theory.
The book chronicles the eleven-day offensive that brought down Bashar al-Assad in December 2024, the remarkable transformation of Ahmed al-Sharaa from designated jihadist to transitional president of Syria, and the monumental reconstruction challenges facing a nation where the World Bank estimates costs at $216 billionapproximately ten times Syria's projected GDP. It analyzes Israel's June 2025 Operation Rising Lion against Iran, which killed IRGC Commander Hossein Salami and set back Tehran's nuclear program, fundamentally altering the regional balance of power. The narrative then shifts to South Asia, documenting the TTP's 482 attacks in 2024 that resulted in 558 deathsa 90% increaseand the October 2025 Pakistan-Afghanistan border escalation that saw Pakistani forces capture 21 Afghan border posts.
What distinguishes this work is its rigorous analytical framework combining academic scholarship with accessible prose. Dr. Baig, author of over 100+ published works and a recognized authority on South Asian and Middle Eastern geopolitics, brings decades of expertise to bear on understanding how the collapse of one regional pillarwhether Assad's Syria or the stability of the Durand Linesends reverberations through neighboring states and creates new patterns of conflict and cooperation. The book avoids simplistic narratives, instead offering nuanced analysis of how non-state actors, declining great power influence, and the resurgence of Sunni Islamist movements are reshaping the strategic landscape.
This volume is essential reading for policymakers navigating complex regional dynamics, academics studying contemporary international relations, security analysts tracking transnational terrorism, students seeking to understand the strategic forces reshaping critical regions, journalists covering Middle Eastern and South Asian affairs, and general readers who recognize that what happens in Damascus and along the Durand Line has profound implications for global stability.
From Damascus to the Durand Line represents the culmination of Dr. Baig's extensive research into regional security dynamics, offering readers the analytical tools and empirical evidence necessary to understand how 2024-2025 will be remembered as a pivotal period in Middle Eastern and South Asian historyone whose consequences will shape international relations for decades to come.
