Afghans believe Pakistan biggest enemy

Afghan people are said to believe that Pakistan is their biggest enemy but the government still failed to identify its enemy.

They have expressed optimism over the death of Mullah Akhtar Mansour, Taliban leader and called on the international community to identify the main enemy of Afghanistan.

“The international community should pay serious attention to this issue that the biggest enemy of Afghanistan is Pakistan,” Khairuddin Fayez, teacher at university of Baghlan said.

One of the Balkh inhabitants also said, “Our politicians should pathology that who are our friends and enemies.”

The leader of the Afghan Taliban has been killed by a US drone strike in an area ofPakistan hitherto off-limits for the remote-controlled aircraft on Sunday.

The killing of the Taliban leader is likely to have major ramifications both for efforts to kickstart peace talks and for the often stormy relationship between the US and Pakistan.

With the death  of Mullah Akhtar Mansour, Afghan residents consider Pakistan the main enemy of Afghanistan.

“Obviously, it is clear that Pakistan supports the armed oppositions of the Afghan government,” Azizullah, one of Ghazni inhabitants said.

“When it finds out that Mullah Manousr, Taliban leader had a Pakistani passport; everyone can easily understand that Pakistan is the main sponsor of terrorism,” Fazel Bari, Kandahar resident said.

Deeming the violence as a ‘spring offensive’, it is disheartening to see that 11 years of war and devastation have not had the result some may have hoped for, and also raises questions as to who the ‘real enemy’ is, and whether the ‘enemy’ can be pinpointed to being one group or individual.

It also raises the question as to how many different perspectives there are to the Afghanistan war saga and its history.

Previously, Pakistan have stressed that Afghanistan’s enemy is also Pakistan’s enemy.

For the past 14 years, Kabul and its western allies have accused the Pakistani military of turning a blind eye or even supporting the remnants of the Afghan Taliban regime hiding in and operating from Pakistan.
