World media warns India from Taliban: Pakistan will be the biggest beneficiary of Taliban rule in Afghanistan, reminds India of Kandahar incident

Posted on 17th Aug 2021 by rohit kumar

The world media is expressing concern about the impact of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan on its neighboring countries. Afghanistan has seven neighboring countries – Pakistan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, China, and India. The Taliban regime will have different effects on everyone. We are telling everyone one by one.

 

For this, we have read the news of the New York Times, Al-Jazeera, Washington Post, Wall Street General, The Guardian, CNN, The Economist, BBC, and news agency Reuters.

 

India will be afraid of incidents like the Kandahar incident

According to the news of Al-Jazeera, the Taliban has the best relations with Pakistan among its neighboring countries. Whereas, the Taliban have sealed the borders of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan as soon as they came to power. Referring to the preparedness of India's continuous defense of civilians, he reminded of the Kandahar incident.

 

The matter was that on 24 December 1999, an Indian Airlines flight took 180 passengers from Kathmandu, Nepal to Delhi, but did not reach Delhi. Terrorists hijacked him. Then the Taliban government of Afghanistan gave land to those terrorists to land here. The terrorists landed the plane in Kandahar. From there he continued to deal with India for 8 days.

 

When India returned 3 terrorists including Masood Azhar to pick up its passengers, the Taliban soldiers surrounded the Indian army in such a way that they could not do anything.

 

Now that the Taliban rule is coming again in Afghanistan, India has closed two consulates in the last month. The Indian Embassy in Kabul has urged all Indians in Afghanistan to make arrangements to leave immediately before commercial flights are halted amid escalating conflict.

 

India has sent C17 Globemaster aircraft to bring back its people. Apart from this, India's concern is the 22 thousand crore projects going on in Afghanistan. Also, according to the news of The Conversation, India, along with the Afghan government, was continuously maintaining a diplomatic edge over Pakistan, but now Pakistan will put diplomatic pressure on India along with the Taliban.

 

Pakistan is the biggest beneficiary of the Taliban's arrival

Pakistan is the only country in Afghanistan's neighboring countries that is happy with the Taliban rule there. According to Pakistan's Urdu newspaper 'Nawa-e-Waqt', a high-level delegation of Afghan leaders reached the Pakistan Foreign Ministry office on Monday. Welcoming them, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said, "We must work together to develop a strategy for the betterment of Afghanistan and the region."

 

Recently, there was an open debate between President Ashraf Ghani and Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan in Tashkent. Then the Taliban had described Pakistan as their good neighbor. A UN report claims that more than 3 million Afghan refugees are living in Pakistan. Despite having a border of 2500 km between the two countries, there is no border dispute.

 

Iran was once going to attack the Taliban, now it is in arrogance

Iran never wants the neighboring country of Afghanistan to be ruled by the Taliban. The reason behind this is religion. There are mainly two sects in Islam - Shia and Sunni. Iran is a Shia majority country. Whereas the rise of the Taliban is to protect the Sunni community.

 

That is why there is a difference in ideology between Iran and the Taliban. On Friday, Iran was the first to ask the Taliban to guarantee the security of its diplomats and staff in Kabul and Herat, when it seemed that the Taliban was about to come to power.

 

The reason for the strained relations between the two is that in 1998 the Taliban killed eight Iranian diplomats, including an Iranian journalist, in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif. Then Iran was about to attack the Taliban.

 

At present, Iran is engaged in improving relations with the Taliban to overcome this situation. In July itself, a Taliban delegation met the Iranian foreign minister in Tehran, but currently, Afghan soldiers are taking refuge in Iran, fearing Taliban fighters.

 

Taliban seals border with Uzbekistan

President Ashraf Ghani took off from Kabul on Sunday as the situation in Afghanistan worsened. There is talk that he has gone to Uzbekistan. Earlier in July also, Afghan soldiers fled to Uzbekistan. This is the biggest problem for this country.

 

In July also, Uzbekistan found Afghan soldiers and sent them back to Afghanistan from their country. Simultaneously, the vigil was tightened on the border. Here the Taliban had sealed the borders of this country by putting their troops even before coming to power. For the past few days, there has been continuous tension on the border.

 

Tajikistan deployed 20 thousand additional soldiers on the border

The biggest threat to Tajikistan from the Taliban is about the border. Due to the arrival of the Taliban, people of the Shia community are continuously fleeing to Tajikistan. The Taliban have put their troops on the border. There is tension in both countries.

 

To avoid them, Tajikistan has deployed 20 thousand additional soldiers by increasing the vigil on the border. Not only this, but this country has also appealed to increase cooperation by talking to Uzbekistan. The armies of both countries are conducting joint military exercises so that they are ready for any kind of challenge.

 

Turkmenistan is putting all its might to improve relations with the Taliban, there is a fear of civil war

Turkmenistan invited a Taliban delegation for talks in June-July. Many movements are going on in East Turkmenistan at this time. The Taliban is in touch with those agitators. If the Taliban help them, then the chances of civil war in this country will increase.

 

Turkmenistan has tried to contact Turkey and Pakistan in the past few months. It is believed that the Taliban have the best relations with these two countries. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoan said in a recent statement, "The Taliban should give up the occupation of their own brothers' land."

 

Xinjiang's Uighur Muslims can be active again in China

The Taliban has always been with the Uighur Muslims. On the other hand, Uighur Muslims living in the Xinjiang region of China have not been adopted by China to date. China has always considered them a minority and an outsider. The Xinjiang region is rich in minerals and shares borders with 8 countries including India, Pakistan, Russia, and Afghanistan. The Taliban would like to strengthen their hold here in any case.

 

Apart from neighbors, this will be the effect of the arrival of the Taliban on the world

A statement by British High Commissioner Sir James Bevan from April 2014 has been shared by some on Twitter. He had said while giving a speech in Delhi- 'May God saves you from the venom of the snake, the teeth of the tiger, and the vengeance of the Afghans. Afghanistan has never been an easy place for outsiders. The Iranians knew this. The Russians were also aware of this.

 

European countries have consistently opposed terrorist activities in Afghanistan. Now they will be the target of the Taliban. Apart from this, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are the largest Sunni countries in the world, which have been with the Taliban since 1980. Saudi has been with Afghanistan ever since the war between Russia and Afghanistan was on.

 

Apart from this, Qatar is one such country that is playing an important role in the current situation in Afghanistan. The Taliban's political office is in Doha, Qatar. This gave the Taliban a place on their land to negotiate with America. After this, the US took the final decision on leaving Afghanistan.
