Pakistan is furious over Afghanistan, vented its anger over the suicide attack on the military convoy, closed the border, will the war start again?
a
Tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan have once again increased. The reason for this is the suicide attack on the Pakistani Army in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. 13 soldiers were killed in the attack on the Pak Army convoy on Saturday. Pakistan has pointed fingers at India and Afghanistan for this attack. Pakistan has closed its border with Afghanistan after the attack, affecting trade and traffic. Pakistan’s decision seems to be worsening its relations with the Taliban government of Afghanistan once again. This has also created the possibility of firing on the border between the two countries as before.
A senior Pakistani security official of the Pakistani Army said that the Ghulam Khan border crossing has been closed after the attack on the military convoy in the Mir Ali area of North Waziristan. Afghan government border forces spokesman Abdullah Farooqui has confirmed the closure of the border. He said that Pakistani officials have not given any explanation to the Taliban government for this step.
Pakistan vented its anger over the suicide attack on the military convoy on Afghanistan, closed the border, tension will increase! No update on border opening
According to sources, no time frame has been given for reopening the border. Afghan authorities have asked citizens, traders and travelers to use the Torkham or Spin Boldak crossing instead of this route. The Ghulam Khan crossing is located in Khost province. It is an important trade and transit point between the two countries, especially for goods coming from North Waziristan in Pakistan.
Tension on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan is not new. Earlier this year, firing was seen between Pakistani and Afghan security forces at the main border crossing between the two countries. The Torkham and southwestern Chaman border crossings were closed after the deadly firing by both countries. During this time, many types of allegations were made by both sides against each other.
China’s efforts were in vain!
After China’s intervention, relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan were improving in the last few months, but Saturday’s attack has again increased tension in the relations between the two countries. Pakistan has repeatedly said that groups taking shelter in Afghanistan are carrying out attacks on its soil. Similar allegations have been leveled by Pakistan in the recent attack as well. However, Afghanistan has vehemently rejected such allegations.
