Khalilzad calls for Afghanistan-Pakistan negotiations after Kabul explosions

Published

on

Former U.S. special envoy for Afghanistan reconciliation, Zalmay Khalilzad, has called for negotiations between Kabul and Islamabad to deal with “terrorist sanctuaries” after two explosions went off in Kabul on Thursday.

Unconfirmed reports indicate that the strikes were carried out by Pakistan targeting TTP leader Noor Wali Mehsud.

The Islamic Emirate, however, has said that it will investigate the explosions.

Khalilzad in a post on X warned that Pakistan’s recent airstrikes against Afghanistan’s capital represent a “huge escalation” that could endanger stability in both countries.

Khalilzad said the strikes pose “dangerous risks” and urged both Islamabad and Kabul to avoid further military confrontation.

According to him, TTP operatives have recently been active inside Pakistan, targeting ISIS and killing several of its leaders. He alleged that Pakistan, in turn, has been “recklessly backing ISIS operatives” against Afghanistan and its own Baloch nationalist insurgency, while Afghan authorities have been “permissive toward the TTP.”

“Military escalation between Pakistan and Afghanistan is not the answer,” Khalilzad cautioned. “It is unlikely to work and will only increase death and destruction in both countries.”

He instead called for “negotiations between Kabul and Islamabad” to address the presence of terrorist sanctuaries and cross-border militancy along the Durand Line.

Afghanistan’s Chief of Armed Forces, Fasihuddin Fitrat, said in his Eid message that Pakistan’s military regime has violated the ceasefire along the Durand line.

According to the Eid message released by the Ministry of Defense, several civilians were killed in attacks carried out by Pakistani forces in border areas.

Fitrat added that the continuation of Pakistan’s attacks despite the ceasefire “demonstrates a lack of commitment and deception” on the part of the country.

He stressed that the Islamic Emirate has refrained from retaliatory action in order to prevent further deterioration of the situation and has remained committed to the ceasefire.

However, he warned that if such attacks are repeated, “the ceasefire will become meaningless,” and the Islamic Emirate will deliver a “decisive response” to Pakistan’s actions.

It is worth noting that the Islamic Emirate and Pakistan reached a temporary ceasefire on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr through mediation by Qatar, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.
