Pakistan Taliban conflict: After the air strike by Pakistani Air Force in Afghanistan, the tension between the two countries has increased more than before. The sharp reaction given by the Taliban government of Afghanistan after the Pakistani attack has increased the fear that war may start between the two countries soon. Defense experts have started predicting war between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Defense experts say that representatives of both the countries need to start talks soon and handle the situation so that the situation does not worsen further.
The end will be like America: Taliban
Pakistan carried out air strikes in Paktika and Khost provinces of Afghanistan early on Monday. Pakistan claimed that TTP terrorists were targeted in the air strikes. The Taliban denied the claims and said that 5 women and 3 children were killed in the attack. Taliban had threatened Pakistan to give death penalty to America. Taliban government spokesperson Zabiullah said that we have 20 years of experience in fighting against the superpower (America). The Taliban government will not tolerate any foreign force on Afghan soil.
Relations between the two countries are at a low level
These attacks have been carried out in Afghanistan at a time when relations between the two countries are going through a tense period due to increase in terrorist attacks in Pakistan. Islamabad holds terrorist groups operating in Afghanistan responsible for these terrorist attacks. A statement issued by Pakistan's Foreign Ministry on Saturday's terrorist attack in North Waziristan directly named the Taliban government and said that the terrorists involved in the attack were supported by people of the Taliban government. On the other hand, Taliban rejected Pakistan's allegations and said that Kabul refuses to use its soil against any country.
threat of war
Security and foreign affairs experts have described these latest attacks as worrying and have expressed the possibility that these attacks could turn into a small-scale war or a long conflict. Ahmed Saeed Minhas, a retired Pakistani Army brigadier and defense expert, said that unless the interim Afghan government behaves responsibly, these sporadic clashes could turn into a small-scale war. He also advised Pakistan to exercise restraint and form a working group involving political and military officials from both the countries. The group should discuss the plan against TTP and the responsibility of taking action against the terrorists present in Afghanistan should be given to the Taliban.
