After bullets and bombs, now two enemies sitting at the table! Is this calm, or preparation for the next storm?

After a week of intense shelling and air strikes on each other, Pakistan and Afghanistan have finally laid down their weapons. Both the countries have agreed to an ‘immediate ceasefire’, which has put a stop to the bloodshed on the border for the time being. Dozens of soldiers and civilians from both sides have lost their lives in this fighting. This peace agreement has been reached after the efforts of Qatar and Türkiye. The senior leaders of both the countries held closed-door talks in Doha, the capital of Qatar, after more than four hours of talks, after which this decision was taken. But the real test is yet to come! This is just a beginning. Representatives of the two countries will meet again in Doha today, and after this a meeting is also scheduled to be held in Istanbul, Turkey on October 25. The aim is not only to stop the fighting, but also to make sure that such a situation does not happen again. These harsh conditions put on the negotiation table make this peace agreement full of thorns, because the trust on both sides has completely ended. During the talks, both the countries have made their demands clear: What does Pakistan want? Pakistan says that it wants peace, but on its own terms. Its demand is that a safe route should be made for its military convoys on the border. What is Afghanistan’s demand? At the same time, Afghanistan, which is leading the Taliban government, has clearly said that Pakistan should first completely stop carrying out air strikes inside Afghanistan. At the same time, it has also demanded the handing over of Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) fighters jailed in Pakistan. A representative of the Taliban even said, “Our duty is to protect our country. This is a one-sided war, because we do not have the power to stop the air strikes.” This peace agreement has come just after the news which caught the attention of the whole world. Had drawn. On Friday itself, 10 civilians were killed in Pakistan’s air strike in Paktika province of Afghanistan, which included three local cricketers and two children. After this incident, Taliban had accused Pakistan of ‘repeatedly committing crimes’. The crux of this entire controversy is that Pakistan accuses Afghanistan of harboring TTP terrorists, while Taliban clearly denies this. At the same time, Afghanistan says that Pakistan repeatedly violates its border. At present, the sound of bullets is silent, but the lack of trust between the two countries is clearly visible.
