Political and military experts in an interview with AVA:
Pakistan never wants a powerful Afghanistan / Pakistani attack on Kabul unlikely without US green light
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: Political and military experts in response to Pakistan's airstrike on Afghan territory today (Saturday, Oct 11) in an interview with AVA news agency, called the attack a violation of Afghanistan's airspace and stressed that the continuation of such aggression could lead to darkening of relations between the two countries.
Engineer Syed Ali Ghobadi, a political analyst, pointed to the recent Pakistani airstrike on Kabul and said that the incident could have negative psychological and political effects on the people and governments of both countries.
"In Pakistan, Punjabis, who make up the majority of the population, are the main decision-makers of domestic and foreign policy, and historical enmity between Pashtuns, Balochs and Punjabis is deep-rooted," he added.
Engineer Ghobadi said that Pakistan has an economic winning card against Afghanistan and India and if the war escalates, it may close its trade borders with Afghanistan at the Indian port of Wagah; This could have a negative impact on the economies of both countries, especially Afghanistan.
The political analyst stressed that the Pakistani military is not able to take even the slightest action in Afghanistan without the permission of the United States, and therefore it is unlikely that Islamabad would have taken such action without the coordination of Washington.
He further criticized the silence of the countries of the region, saying that no regional country has shown a clear and transparent response to condemn Pakistan. "China, as Pakistan's strategic ally, is facing a common enemy, India, while Russia and Central Asian countries are also aligned with China against the United States and Europe," he added.
"If war breaks out, the Afghan people will be left alone and the only country that may support Afghanistan because of its long-standing enmity with Pakistan is India," Ghobadi warned.
Khalil Ahmad Nadem, a military expert, told AFP that Pakistan has never had good relations with Afghanistan and does not want a powerful country in its neighbourhood.
He added that over the past years, Pakistan's intention has always been to weaken the Afghan government and stressed that Pakistan has destroyed Afghanistan's radar system, which is why the Afghan armed forces are not able to defend against air strikes.
Mr. Nadem described relations between the two countries at the lowest level, saying the darkness of these relations had a negative impact on economic relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan. "There is no doubt that Pakistan cannot carry out such air strikes without the permission of the US," he said.
The military expert called on the member states of the Moscow format to react to Pakistan's blatant aggression and strongly condemn it.
Najibullah Shamal, a political analyst, also blamed the dark relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan on Islamabad's hostile policies, saying history has shown that Pakistan's policy towards Afghanistan has always been cruel and aggressive.
He referred to Pakistan's recent attacks on Afghan soil, especially in Kabul, calling it a violation of airspace and a blatant violation of the country's territorial integrity, adding that such behavior is against all international values and laws.
The North expressed hope that the Pakistani government would realize that war is not the solution to the problems between the two countries by refraining from aggressive attacks. He warned that continued violence and attacks could have a widespread negative impact on political, economic, cultural and social relations between the two countries.
The political analyst concluded by stressing that the crisis between Pakistan and Afghanistan has no military solution and Islamabad should act as a neighbor based on the principles of peaceful coexistence and mutual respect. He also called for the resolution of differences through dialogue and diplomacy and stressed the need to avoid any violation of Afghanistan's national sovereignty.
