Afghanistan Retaliates Against Pakistan After Deadly Airstrikes

Afghanistan Retaliates ‌After Pakistan Airstrikes Kill Dozens

Tensions between ⁤Afghanistan and Pakistan escalated ⁣sharply‌ over the weekend after Afghanistan’s Defense Ministry confirmed retaliatory strikes ‍against Pakistan.‍ ‌The⁤ move ‍comes in response to Pakistani airstrikes last Tuesday⁣ that targeted a‌ training facility in Afghanistan’s eastern Paktika province,resulting in⁤ the deaths of numerous civilians,mostly women and children.

The Afghan ministry, ⁤in a statement posted on​ X (formerly Twitter), stated that its forces targeted locations within Pakistan that⁢ it claimed were used as “centers and hideouts​ for malicious elements and their supporters who organized ⁣and ​coordinated attacks in Afghanistan.” While the ministry’s ‌spokesperson, enayatullah Khwarzami, offered no details on the nature or outcome ‌of the retaliatory strikes, a⁢ pro-taliban news outlet, citing unnamed sources within the ​ministry, reported⁤ the death of 19 Pakistani troops and three ​Afghan civilians.Pakistan’s foreign Ministry has yet to officially comment.

The news⁢ of ‍the retaliatory strikes ‍sparked celebrations in Khost province, Afghanistan, ⁣which borders the targeted Paktika province. Rasheedullah‌ Hamdard,‌ an organizer ⁢of a pro-military‍ demonstration, described the scene: ⁣“All of them were chanting angry slogans against this action by Pakistan, ‌such as ‘death to⁤ Pakistan.’ ⁤All Afghans are brothers,so it is indeed necessary⁣ that the nation ‍and government show⁤ their pride ⁣in their blood.” ‍Thousands participated in ​the demonstration, expressing support for the Afghan military’s actions.

This latest escalation highlights the ongoing friction between the two nations. Pakistani ​officials ⁣have repeatedly accused the Taliban government of ​failing to curb cross-border militant activity, a claim ​the Taliban vehemently ⁢denies,​ asserting that it prevents attacks originating from its territory.

The situation remains volatile,​ with ⁢the potential for‍ further escalation posing a⁤ important⁤ concern for regional ‌stability. The incident underscores the complex challenges facing the⁢ international community in navigating the ​ongoing instability in the region and the⁢ need ‌for ‌diplomatic solutions to prevent further violence ⁢and​ loss of life.

This​ incident raises ‍concerns about ⁣the potential for further escalation and the need ⁣for de-escalation efforts to prevent further loss⁢ of life and regional instability. ⁤ The ⁣international community is​ closely⁤ monitoring the situation.


Tensions on the Rise: ‍An Interview on the Afghanistan-pakistan ​Situation









World Today News Senior Editor: Welcome⁤ back⁤ to the World Today News ‌Podcast. We’re joined today by Dr. Amina Khan, a senior researcher at the



Afghan Institute for ‌Strategic Studies in Kabul. ​Dr. Khan, ​thank you for taking the time to​ speak with us.











Dr. Amina​ Khan: ⁤ Thank you for having me.











Senior Editor: Today we’ll ⁢be⁣ discussing the escalating tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan following the ‍recent airstrikes. The Afghan Defense Ministry confirmed they launched ‍retaliatory strikes against Pakistan after the deaths of numerous civilians in a Pakistani airstrike last ⁢week. Dr.Khan, can⁤ you shed ⁣some light on the complexities of this situation?











Dr. Khan: Certainly.



The situation is incredibly delicate. Both⁢ countries have ⁢long accused ​each other



of harboring militant groups that carry out cross-border attacks.



Pakistan has repeatedly accused the Taliban government⁣ in ⁣Afghanistan



of allowing safe haven for Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan,⁢ or the TTP, a group



engaged in a violent insurgency⁣ against the Pakistani state.



The Taliban, on the other hand, ‍deny ‍thes accusations,



asserting they have taken‍ measures to prevent⁣ attacks from Afghan ⁢soil.











Senior Editor:



We saw reports and demonstrations‌ of⁣ support​ for ‍the Afghan military action within Afghanistan. Do you see popular support for ⁢retaliation in Afghanistan?











Dr. Khan:



Yes, there’s strong ⁤anger within certain segments of



the Afghan population towards Pakistan over ‍these⁣ airstrikes.



The civilian casualties,especially ‌among women and children,



are ⁤undeniable and have‌ inflamed public ⁢sentiment.



These‌ events ‌have ⁤definitely tapped into a‍ deep-seated mistrust



and past animosity between the two countries.



However, it’s important to remember that‍ the situation isn’t



monolithic. There are also voices within Afghanistan calling



for restraint and dialog to prevent



further escalation.













Senior‍ Editor:



What are the potential consequences⁤ of sustained tensions​ between afghanistan and Pakistan?













Dr.​ Khan: The ramifications could be severe.



A sustained ‌conflict could destabilize⁢ the entire​ region.



We⁤ could ⁤see⁣ more cross-border violence, civilian casualties,



and a resurgence of militant activity,



potentially benefiting extremist groups



that ‍thrive on instability.



Furthermore, this escalation ​could hamper



international⁢ efforts to provide humanitarian aid to Afghanistan,



a ⁢country already grappling with a dire economic and humanitarian crisis.











Senior Editor:



Looking forward, what are some possible solutions to de-escalate



this⁤ volatile situation?











Dr. Khan:



This requires a multifaceted ⁢approach.



Firstly, both governments need



to‌ engage in direct and constructive dialogue,



addressing‍ each other’s concerns ⁣and seeking common ground.



Secondly, the international community, particularly ​regional powers



like China and Iran,⁤ should ⁢play



a more active role in mediating and facilitating talks.



addressing the root causes ⁣of the conflict



– the presence of militant ⁤groups and cross-border attacks



– is paramount. This‌ necessitates a



concerted effort by both governments to ⁣dismantle these networks



and pursue​ lasting peace.













Senior Editor:



Dr.​ Khan,‍ thank you ⁣for ⁢sharing your invaluable



insights with us today.⁣ Your expertise has ‌shed light on this



complex and⁤ worrying⁢ situation. We hope for a peaceful resolution



in the region for the sake ⁢of both Afghanistan ⁢and ⁣Pakistan.











Dr. Khan: Thank you for having me.

Between urine and parking chaos: the Afghan consulate in Grünwald is causing trouble

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

The consulate general in the Munich suburb of Grünwald is one of only five foreign missions in Europe known to the Taliban. The result: Afghans from all over Germany can only settle their passport issues there.

On this cloudy October morning, there is a lot of activity here in the northern part of Grünwald, where cars run past the town through to and back to Munich. Behind a tall white wall is a charming little town that attracts attention elsewhere. However, this is not the case in Grünwald – the home of wealthy citizens.

Many of the city’s visitors seem to come from far away: there are car license plates on the side of the road coming from all over Germany. The reason for your arrival: The city – as it says on a golden sign at the entrance – is the consulate general of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

In 2012, Afghanistan opened its consulate in the listed city. This is owned by the Free State of Bavaria and was formerly the home of the Consul General of the Netherlands. According to Mayor Jan Neusiedl (CSU), people in the community of 11,000 have now become accustomed to the fact that Afghanistan, torn by wars and conflicts, has a foreign mission in Grünwald of all places .

But this serenity seems to be over. There are increasing complaints about the behavior of Afghans who are waiting in front of the consulate. Residents complained at a citizens’ meeting about parking chaos and dangerous movement on the street. They also blamed visitors to the consulate for rampant littering and urination.

And of course the population has increased significantly in the past months. The reason for this lies in the capital of Afghanistan, Kabul. The Taliban there – they have been in power again since August 2021 – announced a few months ago that they would no longer work with several foreign missions in Europe.

The reason given by a spokesman at the time was that actions were being carried out “uncoordinated, arbitrarily and contrary to the relevant principles”. In Germany, this affects the embassy in Berlin and the consulate general in Bonn, whose passports, visas and other documents are no longer recognized by the Taliban. The regime in Kabul only accepts embassies in Spain, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands – as well as the consulate in Grünwald – as legitimate representations in Europe.

“Anyone who followed the news knew there would be more volume here,” said Mayor Neusiedl. In fact, until the Taliban changed course, the consulate in Grünwald was only responsible for Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. However, Afghans from all over Germany and even from Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and France are now flowing into the suburbs of Munich.

At the citizens’ meeting, a representative from the police station in Grünwald confirmed that the traffic in front of the Consulate General had increased significantly. Complaints have also been received about chaotic conditions. According to the mayor, the police contacted the consulate. “And they have agreed to put away the garbage in the evening and they may want to set up toilets,” Neusiedl said. “Apparently the police there were open to hearing it.”

The Consulate General does not wish to speak to the media. Meanwhile, a Taliban spokesman said in an interview with Deutsche Welle about the foreign mission in Grünwald: “They are responsible and they carry out our orders. ” Apparently the consulate seems to have a good connection with the Taliban and follow their instructions.

However, it seems that the people in Grünwald only care about this to a small extent. And even in the town hall, Jan Neusiedl simply says: “It certainly won’t work in the long run that the consulate is responsible for such a large area. But everything else, according to the mayor, “is high politics.”
