Afghans: The war is irrational and imposed over the ANDSF

Published

on

People in Baghlan Province say that since the US-Taliban peace agreement, the continuation of war with the Afghan National and Defense Forces seems irrational and imposed.

These people accuse the Taliban and the US of duplicity saying that the prisoners’ exchange of any sort, before the peace talks, will not prove fruitful for Afghanistan.

Baghlan Provincial Council and the commander of the national army in Baghlan said that the war was imposed and that at the end of the day, people will hate the Taliban.

Based on the reports, after the 7-day term of reduction in violence, the Taliban has ordered their fighters to resume their military attacks with an exception of not attacking the foreign forces.

In practice too, some provinces have seen the Taliban attacks: one army man has been killed and two others wounded in the Taliban’s attack in Paktia; four other soldiers were wounded in another attack of the Taliban in Zabul.

Meanwhile, the UN tweeted Tuesday and urged the Taliban to continue the reduction in violence so that the atmosphere for the intra-Afghan peace negotiation is paved to resolve the political tensions as well as to secure a lasting peace.

The European Union also expressed concerns about the Taliban attacks saying that the actions are against the “spirit of the agreement” between the US and the Taliban.

Roland Cobia, the EU Special Envoy for Afghanistan said, “This is not the time for posturing, but the phase to build trust & move forward in a constructive manner.”

Pakistan will repatriate nearly 20,000 Afghan nationals currently awaiting resettlement in the United States, The Nation reported, citing official sources.

The move affects 19,973 Afghans living across Pakistan.

A federal directive will instruct provincial chief secretaries and police chiefs in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Azad Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, and the Islamabad Capital Territory to begin the repatriation process immediately.

Authorities will also share verified data of the affected individuals with relevant departments to support implementation.

Following the Islamic Emirate’s return to power in 2021, more than 100,000 Afghans fled to Pakistan, many of whom had worked with the US and UK governments, international organizations, or aid agencies.

Thousands have remained stranded in Pakistan for over four years while awaiting US resettlement clearance.

Prospects for relocation have dimmed amid a suspension of case processing by the US administration, according to The Nation.

Under Pakistan’s Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Plan (IFRP), all Afghan nationals still awaiting US relocation will now be returned to Afghanistan.

He highlighted the importance of collaboration with India at the United Nations to advance a global counter-terrorism convention.

Lavrov stated that while the draft convention has already been prepared, consensus on its adoption has not yet been reached.

Russia has repeatedly expressed concern about militant threats from Afghanistan. The Islamic Emirate, however, has dismissed the concerns saying that it will not allow Afghanistan’s soil to be used against any country.
