Despite growing doubts about the hidden annexes of the conditional and fragile agreement between the Islamic Emirate and Pakistan in Qatar, many national and international observers still hope that the agreement will lead to a lasting peace between the two countries. However, recent statements by Pakistani officials and new accusations have highlighted the possibility of the agreement’s failure.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: Asim Munir, Chief of Staff of the Pakistani Army, emphasized yesterday that any violation of the country’s territorial integrity, whether direct or indirect, will be met with a firm and decisive response. These words mean that Pakistan may attribute any security incident on its soil to Afghanistan in the future and accuse the Islamic Emirate of violating the ceasefire.
On the other hand, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has also stated that threats from Afghan soil continue to exist. He called on the Afghan government to control the situation. In an interview with Reuters, Khawaja Asif stressed that this control is a key condition for the continuation of the ceasefire and that serious problems will arise if the agreement is violated.
Former Pakistani envoy Asif Durrani also considered the Islamic Emirate's denial of the presence of terrorist groups on Afghan soil regrettable and, like other Pakistani officials, claimed that Afghanistan is a haven for the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, Al-Qaeda and ISIS. These vague, baseless and repeated claims have always been rejected by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
This is while political analysts consider Pakistan to be the main cause of the airstrikes on Afghan soil. They believe that Pakistan has received a response to its aggression from Afghanistan. According to these analysts, the Islamic Emirate not only gave Pakistan a crushing response on the battlefield, but also in the field of diplomacy, by achieving important achievements in the ceasefire agreement, forced Pakistan to resort to regional mediation and take action to establish an immediate ceasefire.
In an interview with AVA, political analyst Mohammad Yousuf Amin Zazi described Pakistan's repeated incursions into Afghan territory, especially the attack on the capital, as a shameless act, saying: "The Islamic Emirate authorities had previously warned the Pakistanis that if we do not reach Lahore and Islamabad, we will inflict heavy blows on you through the borders." But Pakistan did not pay attention to these warnings and attacked, which resulted in a decisive response from the Islamic Emirate. In this conflict, many Pakistani border posts fell and many were killed, wounded, and captured. He called the Islamic Emirate's response to Pakistan from several provinces "considered" and militarily a "great achievement," adding: "Afghanistan's superiority became apparent in the very early hours of the war; in such a way that Pakistan demanded the dispatch of a high-level delegation to Kabul, but the Islamic Emirate refused and said: "Are you committing an offense and sending a peace delegation at the same time?" This is neither logical nor acceptable from a diplomatic perspective.
Mr. Zazi called the performance and response of the Islamic Emirate against Pakistan successful in political and military dimensions and added: The agreement reached in Doha is actually in the interest of the people of both countries, because the continuation of the war brought nothing but destruction and human casualties. We are optimistic about this ceasefire, of course with the understanding that we cannot trust Pakistan too much.
This political expert also stated that the Islamic Emirate has now taken away the playing card that Pakistan had in the past, and Pakistan is no longer in a position to take extensive military measures against Afghanistan. According to him, Afghanistan today has extensive relations with various countries in the region and will not allow itself to be subjected to political and military pressure.
On the other hand, Mr. Zazi emphasized: Regardless of the internal conditions of Afghanistan, Pakistan never wants a stable, self-sufficient and powerful Afghanistan in its neighborhood. The policy of this country has been based on hostility towards Afghanistan since its establishment by the US and the UK, and in fact reflects the same hostility of the West towards Afghanistan; a hostility for which it also receives financial assistance.
He added: Pakistanis want Afghanistan’s foreign policies and relations, especially with countries like India, to be according to their wishes and desires; while Afghanistan, as an independent country, has the right to establish relations with any country it deems appropriate.
Mr. Zazi emphasized the spirit of resistance of the Afghan nation, saying: If Pakistan has mercilessly targeted even members of our cricket team and civilians, it should know that the brave and courageous nation of this land has not surrendered to the world’s superpowers and will never succumb to foreign pressure in the future.
In conclusion, he expressed hope for a peace agreement between the two countries, but emphasized: It is necessary to obtain international guarantees from Pakistan so that it cannot invade Afghanistan again under various pretexts.
Border crossings between Afghanistan and Pakistan remain closed after the war and financial losses to traders
Although a ceasefire agreement was signed between Afghanistan and Pakistan in Doha, the situation on the borders remains fragile. The border crossings have not yet reopened and trade between the two countries is suspended. Reports indicate that traders on both sides have suffered greatly.
Mohammad Reza, a trader in the country, told Ava: Since the beginning of the conflict, hundreds of trucks carrying fruits such as grapes, pomegranates, tomatoes and other vegetables intended for the Pakistani market have been stopped on this side of the border.
According to him, fruits such as kinnow, bananas and other trade goods that were supposed to enter Afghanistan from Pakistan are also halted.
He warned Pakistan: If the crossings continue to be closed, it is not only Afghanistan that will suffer; Pakistan will suffer more. For example, a report was published yesterday that in Karachi, the price of a kilo of eggplant has become more expensive than the price of a kilo of meat. This situation shows that the halt in trade makes the people of both countries vulnerable. Therefore, Pakistan must maintain its extensive and undeniable trade with Afghanistan in all circumstances, beyond political and security differences.
On the other hand, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has also stated that threats from Afghan soil continue to exist. He called on the Afghan government to control the situation. In an interview with Reuters, Khawaja Asif stressed that this control is a key condition for the continuation of the ceasefire and that serious problems will arise if the agreement is violated.
