WJ to summon security officials on Saturday
Afghanistan Wolesi Jirga (WJ) – the lower house of parliament summoned security officials to be present at Saturday’s session due to the recent insecurities of Kundoz province.
Kundoz representatives in Parliament expressed their deep concerns over security situation in Kundoz and said that the Afghan security forces are currently surrounded by the armed oppositions of the government and serious measures should be taken regarding the issue as soon as it’s possible.
Shukria Paiman, Member of Parliament who tried to show the conditions of wounded soldiers in Kundoz failed to express her concerns and statements.
“As I contacted with security forces, they have surrounded and came under the attacks of the armed oppositions. A serious decision should be taken.” Shukria Paikan said.
In the meantime, representatives in Parliament are said to consider the security situation of the northern parts of the country critical and said that most of governors and chief districts are involved in insecurities.
Naqibullah Fayeq, Member of Parliament said, “Insecurity has also raised in Faryab province. Most of girl’s schools and governmental offices have been closed and the Almar district is half under government’s control and half under Taliban’s control.”
Afghan forces follow a tough test this spring and are facing the attacks of internal and foreign oppositions.

China says Afghanistan–Pakistan peace talks show progress
China has positioned itself as a facilitator, aiming to create conditions for dialogue and provide a platform for negotiations.
Negotiations between Afghanistan and Pakistan are making steady progress, China said on Friday, as efforts continue to ease tensions in their most serious conflict since the return of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in 2021.
Speaking at a regular press briefing, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said both sides had welcomed Beijing’s mediation and were willing to resume dialogue. “This is a positive development,” she said, noting that China remains in close communication with both governments.
Beijing— which shares a border with both countries—has stepped up diplomatic engagement in recent months, including calls with foreign ministers and a visit by a special envoy in March. Previous rounds of talks have reportedly taken place in Urumqi, though officials did not confirm the latest venue.
China has positioned itself as a facilitator, aiming to create conditions for dialogue and provide a platform for negotiations. Mao said further details would be released jointly by the three countries “in due course.”
Clashes between Afghan and Pakistani forces since October have killed dozens on both sides, with Afghan civilians bearing the brunt of the violence. Islamabad has accused Kabul of harboring militants responsible for cross-border attacks—an allegation Afghan authorities deny, calling militancy a domestic issue for Pakistan.
The renewed diplomatic push signals cautious optimism that tensions between the neighbors could ease through sustained dialogue under Chinese mediation.
