Really, the Afghans are too disorganized to do much about them. The taliban actually are so mixed in that it'll take a while to implement the preliminary steps that have been previously initiated.

There really are no such plans. Both the governments in Kabul (Afghanistan) and Islamabad (Pakistan) have more-or-less accepted that, for the time-being, the Taliban will be a regional power on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Afghan President Hamid Karzai had said that he felt suffocated by the US requirements that he maintain an antagonistic relationship with the Taliban, arguing that it made a lot more sense for him to come to some sort of power-sharing arrangement with them since the Taliban was too powerful to be eradicated. Since Afghanistan has been given more authority in its international relations, Afghan government-Taliban relations have softened.

Pakistan does maintain a state of war with the Taliban, but the movements of Pakistani troops and security forces are haphazard with no clear strategy or directionality. Many foreign policy observers who note the large size and scale of the Pakistani Army argue that the Pakistani Army is engaging in a faux war with the Taliban in order to maintain the Pakistan-US alliance, which provides Pakistan with large amounts of military assistance and is conditioned on Pakistan's continuing to fight the Taliban. The Pakistani government does not want to allocate the resources that would be needed to properly evict the Taliban since the provinces where the Taliban are dominant are resource-poor and lack the dominant Punjabi and Sindhi ethnic groups.
