The organization has adapted by decentralizing its command structure and forming ties with regional conflicts and armed groups. While Al-Qaeda's senior leadership is marginalized and its intent to conduct external operations remains unclear, its presence in Afghanistan under Taliban rule has not diminished, posing an enduring threat to neighboring countries and Central Asia.",
