Tension is increasing between Pakistan and Afghanistan. There was tremendous firing on the border of both countries on Sunday. In this, 6 people were killed and 17 were injured.
According to media reports, this firing took place in Spin-Boldak. From here, the Chaman border of both countries appears and this area comes under Kandahar. Pakistan alleges that the Taliban are firing on its citizens. According to local media reports, the firing was going on till late evening.
Afghan media confirmed
Afghanistan's website 'Tolo News' has released videos and photos of people injured in the firing. According to the website, 6 people have been killed and some of the 17 injured are in critical condition. Pakistan's army said in a statement released on Sunday night - On December 11, there was a firing from Afghanistan in the residential areas of Balochistan. 6 people died and 17 are injured. The Afghan Taliban are continuously firing on our civilian areas. We have also given a befitting reply to this attack. There is a lot of tension on the border at the moment. To reduce this, connectivity is being tried in Kabul.
Diplomacy also failed
There has been tremendous tension on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan for almost 6 months. Recently, 6 Pakistani soldiers were killed in Taliban firing. To reduce this tension, Pakistan's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Hina Rabbani Khar went to Afghanistan two weeks ago. He was accompanied by a delegation of officers from the Foreign and Defense Ministries.
The special thing is that when the officials of the Taliban government, who advocated keeping women imprisoned in boundary walls and hijab, arrived at Kabul airport to receive Hina, she was in her old glamorous style. Far from wearing hijab, she had not even put a scarf on her head.
what is controversy
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 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. Only last week, 6 Pakistani soldiers were killed in Taliban firing.
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.
What was the purpose of Hina's visit?
Pakistan's government wants peace on the Afghanistan border at any cost. The reason for this is that it has tension with India. There is a firing every day on the Iran border as well. Now, if the attacks on the Afghan border continue, then it will be very difficult to protect the country.
This difficulty is also big because Pakistan is on the verge of bankruptcy. Its foreign deposits (forex reserves) are merely $7.96 billion. This money is also a guaranteed deposit from China, Saudi Arabia, and UAE. The Shahbaz Sharif government does not spend it. All three countries can withdraw this amount on 36 hours' notice.
The country cannot be protected without money. Recently, the IMF declared Pakistan's default probability as 79%. Since then the army and the government there are in a quandary.
The purpose of Hina's visit was to persuade the Taliban regime in Afghanistan to stop tearing down the fencing on the Durand Line and prevent TTP from carrying out attacks in Pakistan. However, within 24 hours of Hina returning to Pakistan, Pakistan's embassy in Kabul was attacked and this was followed by heavy firing on the border on Sunday.
