پاکستان د طالبانو په وړاندې عمليات نه کوي
(Last Updated On: October 25, 2022)
د پاکستان د لومړي وزیر د ملي امنیت سلاکار سرتاج عزیز وايي چې هېواد به يې په خاوره کې د افغاني طالبانو په خلاف پوځي عملیات ونه کړي.
ده د افغان ولسمشر هغه غوښتنه هم رد کړه چې ګواکي پاکستان دې د وسله والو طالبانو د چارواکو پرخلاف ګامونه پورته کړي. سرتاج عزیز ویلي چې لاهم باید د خبرو لاره غوره شي. د افغانستان ولسمشرۍ ماڼۍ بیا وايي چې جګړه د پاکستان له خوا په افغانستان تپل شوې ده.
د پاکستان د لومړي وزیر د ملي امنیت سلاکار سرتاج عزیز ویلي چې د وسله والو طالبانو پر خلاف د افغان دولت څوارلس کلنه جګړه ناکامه ده. ده ویلي چې په خپله خاوره کې به د افغان طالبانو پر خلاف پوځي عملیات ونه کړي.
د پاکستان د لومړي وزیر د ملي امنیت سلاکار سرتاج عزيز وايي: “افغانستان تلوار لري چې که خبرې نه پیلېږي نو باید د جګړې لاره غوره شي. هغه لاره چې څوارلس کاله یې هېڅ پایله ورنه کړه. زه د افغان ولسمشر هغه غوښتنه چې مونږ په خپله خاوره کې د طالبانو رهبران وځپو، ردوم. “
عزیز ویلي چې افغان رهبران ځکه په غوسه دي چې له وسله والو طالبانو سره د سولې خبرې پیل نه شوې.
سرتاج عزيز زیاتوي: “طالبان د کومې ځانګړې سیمې په نیولو نه دي بریالي شوي. که په جګړه کې دریځ او پايښت وساتل شي، نو وسله وال طالبان به اړ شي چې له دولت سره سوله وکړي. سوله هغه څه نه ده چې په دوو یا څلورو اونیو کې پایله ورکړي. زه د افغانستان مصالحې له پاره د سولې له خبرو پرته بله لاره نه وینم.”
د ولسمشر د ویاند مرستیال دواخان مینه پال وايي: “جګړه د پاکستان له خوا په افغانستان تپل شوې ده. د ولسمشر د ویاند مرستیال وايي چې پاکستان وسله وال طالبان د سولې خبرو ته را ونه بلل بلکې جګړې ته یې نور هم وهڅول.”
دا په داسې حال کې ده چې د ناټو عمومي منشي په اروپا کې ویلي چې داعش په افغانستان کې د ستونزو د زیاتېدو لامل شوی او نړیوال سرتېري د وسله والو طالبانو له سخت مخالفت سره مخامخ دي.

Zakia Wardak, Afghanistan’s consul general in India’s Mumbai city, resigned on Saturday, following reports of gold smuggling.
The Times of India has reported that Wardak was caught at Mumbai airport with 25 kilograms of gold smuggled from Dubai.
While announcing her resignation, Wardak said on X that over the past year, she had encountered numerous personal attacks and defamation not only directed towards her but also towards her close family and extended relatives.
“These attacks, which appear to be organized, have severely impacted my ability to effectively operate in my role and have demonstrated the challenges faced by women in Afghan society who strive to modernize and bring positive change amidst ongoing propaganda campaigns,” she said.

The Trans-Afghan railway project is expected to be completed by the end of 2027, Uzbekistan’s Deputy Minister of Transport Jasurbek Choriev said.
“The project will help to connect three countries: Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. The railroad will play an important role in the creation of the Eurasian Transport Corridor. As a result, Central Asian countries will have access to an Indian Ocean port,” he said during the III Tashkent International Investment Forum, Trend news agency reported.
The Uzbek deputy minister noted that the railroad will reduce the delivery time of goods from 35 to 5 days, and the cost of goods delivery will be reduced by at least 40 percent.

The humanitarian situation in Afghanistan is gravely deteriorating, and a new approach is urgently needed, the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) said on Friday.
In a statement, IFRC said that without a radical rethink of approaches to humanitarian aid, the root causes of the crisis cannot be tackled sustainably, as time and funding are running out.
“We have been responding with emergency aid in Afghanistan for years now, and it is time for a rethink,” said Alexander Matheou, IFRC Regional Director for Asia Pacific. “We need to focus on Afghan institutions like the Afghan Red Crescent, which have a permanent role in the country. Their capacity is durable and will serve people before and after aid operations. We need to adapt our programming to focus on resilience and economic independence while still showing solidarity and providing assistance after sudden shocks like the Herat earthquake and the current floods.”
He went on to reiterate the IFRC’s call for investment in people.
“With limited access to education and jobs, we need a focus on youth, on professional and vocational training, and other learning opportunities—interventions designed to boost confidence and give hope. Otherwise, the future really does look grim.”
This call comes ahead of a partnership meeting hosted in Doha by the Afghan Red Crescent Society in cooperation with the Qatar Red Crescent Society and attended by participating national societies from Britain, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Norway, Sweden, Singapore, and Türkiye, as well as the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China.
“Communities are lurching from crisis to crisis at a time when their resilience is sub-zero and their coping mechanisms are exhausted. We ask our valued partners to take a long-term view and commit to tackling the root causes of the humanitarian crisis sustainably by investing in Afghan capacity, people, and systems,” said Mutiul Haq Khales, the Acting President of the Afghan Red Crescent Society.
“The needs of over 24 million people are vast and interconnected. Many have been caused by a combination of lingering impacts from decades-long conflict, climate shocks, and a deep economic crisis. The country’s resources are stretched, but capacities exist, and it is important that solutions are implemented to address the root causes of all these overlapping needs,” he added.
