Abdulhaq Omeri, a journalist from Afghanistan has given information about this. This encounter took place in Torkham, Pakistan. Earlier on 12 December 2022, 7 Pakistanis were killed in the firing. One person also died in Afghanistan.

 

There was continuous firing for 8 days in November 2022

According to the news agency, in November 2022, there was continuous firing for 8 days in the border area. Because of this, there was a lot of damage on both sides. Then Pakistan tried to solve the matter diplomatically. Pakistan alleges that the Afghan Taliban are sending terrorists to Pakistan's border and these terrorists carry out attacks in Pakistan.

 

Pakistan-Afghanistan border dispute

 

Pakistan and Afghanistan are separated by a border. This is called the Durand Line. Pakistan considers it a boundary line, but the Taliban clearly say that Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa state is its part. The Pakistani army has done fencing here with barbed wire.

 

On 15 August 2021, the Sultanate of Afghanistan was captured by the Taliban. He made it clear only after 5 days i.e. on 20th August that Pakistan will have to vacate the part of Afghanistan because the Taliban does not accept the Durand Line.

 

Pakistan opposed this and deployed an army there. After this, the Taliban blew up the Pakistani check posts there. Many Pakistani soldiers have been killed in this area and many are under the control of the Taliban.

 

There are two main factions of the Taliban. First: Afghan Taliban. It is running the government of Afghanistan. Second: Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan which is called TTP in common parlance.

 

TTP does 90% of terrorist attacks in Pakistan. It wants to implement Sharia law there along the lines of Afghanistan. Pakistan considers the army as its biggest enemy.
