Afghans who are living in the United States called for an end to Islamabad’s involvement in Kabul’s affairs by the United Nations (UN) and particularly the security council of UN.

A number of cultural and national personalities in commemoration of the “Martyrs Week” said that if Pakistan’s plots do not prevented, they will sacrifice themselves as the National Hero, Ahmad Shah Masoud.

They said that the formation of Daesh group is one of the Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence ISI plans.

The gathering also criticized the functioning of the National Unity Government (NUG) and emphasized on Masoud’s followers must have thought his ways so that the country did not face such misery.

The statements come as that Afghanistan, particularly Kabul have witnessed insecurities which Islamabad is blamed for all of this. Even in some cases, Pakistan has directly considered the main responsible for Afghanistan’s insecurity.

Afghanistan and Pakistan share multiple strands of culture, history, religion, and civilization, but the two countries have never succeeded in establishing bilateral relations free of tensions. Rather, passive antagonism and mistrust have marked bilateral ties for the larger part of more than half a century following the creation of Pakistan.

The intensity of hostility has varied under different regimes in Afghanistan, however, and though brief periods of cordiality have occurred as well, these have never been enough to provide a consistent positive direction.

Although relations were stable to some extent under the Afghan monarchy and opposing claims over the boundary and tribes in the frontier region did not provoke serious conflict, a feeling of estrangement prevailed.

The two states developed very different strategic visions and perceptions of regional roles, and became enmeshed in competing structures of global power.

Their opposite tendencies in foreign and security policies manifested finally in the superpower contest of the 1980s; the Afghan government hosted the Soviet forces while Pakistan aligned with both the Afghan mujahideen rebels and the United States to defeat the Red Army.

As the effects of the Soviet-Afghan War spilled over into Pakistan in the form of millions of Afghan refugees and tens of thousands of armed fighters, Pakistan became deeply involved in Afghanistan’s internal affairs.

The civil war between the Taliban and the Northern Front (comprised of Afghan factions), which forced every neighboring country to engage in a regional “great game,” drew Pakistan closer to the Taliban.

The Northern Front leaders, who benefited from Pakistan during the Soviet-Afghan War, blamed Pakistan for the suffering and pain that the Taliban inflected on them.
