Afghan leader calls on Pakistan to crack down on extremists

[Hurter]

Afghanistan’s chief executive Abdullah Abdullah called on Pakistan on Tuesday to keep its promise to crack down on extremists blamed for carrying out cross-border attacks and destablilsing the war-torn country.

“We call on Pakistan to do what its leadership promised to us a few months ago when they agreed to crack down on known terror outfits,” Abdullah said, while addressing the UN General Assembly on Monday night, Associated Press reported.

Abdullah’s statement came hours after Taliban captured the strategic northern Afghan city of Kunduz in a multi-pronged attack involving hundreds of fighters, the first time the insurgents have seized a major urban area since the 2001 US-led invasion.

Abdullah claimed some of the attackers had come from abroad.

Citing Islamic State as among the extremist groups sowing terror in Afghanistan, the chief executive said without external support “this guerrilla-style low intensity warfare would have been history by now.”

The Afghan leader expressed optimism that the insurgency would be defeated, saying “these attempts will eventually fail to subdue us.”

Further, on Monday Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said that relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan were not brotherly but like a relationship between two states. In an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation on the first anniversary of his presidential term, Ghani urged Islamabad to take the same stance against terrorists targeting Pakistan or any other country.

The Afghan president’s statement comes at a time when relations between the two countries are tense, with leaders from both sides accusing the other of harbouring terrorists. Popular belief in Afghanistan questions Pakistan’s sincerity in seeking a cooperative, mutually beneficial relationship.

On Saturday, Adviser to the Pakistan Prime Minister on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz while attending a high level event “Afghanistan’s Peaceful Reconstruction and Regional Cooperation” said the peace and prosperity of Afghanistan was essential for Pakistan’s own security.

India does not care about Afghans, they see Afghanistan as an opportunity to outflank Pakistan, that is the whole purpose of Afghanistan in Indian eyes. Let them cry for help from India. They won't get any.

My Point Exactly, Afghans Wasted more Resources to Destabilize Pakistan instead of Investing in their own Country, Now they are Paying the Price

I genuinely wished Afghanistan was stable and peaceful but their leaders are shameless creatures. Most of them would run out of Afghanistan if Taliban took over.

Indeed. This is the way Afghans (NAMAK HARAAM) Behave. Karzai was a Refugee in Pakistan for Years but he spoke against Pakistan all the time when he was President and Even after he stepped down from Presidency he Said "THANK YOU" to Pakistan in the most (NAMAK HARAAM) way Possible.

lol yeah they did and instead of blocking the border like pakistan asked these Northern Alliance turds let them into Afghanistan, you can suffer now northern alliance, quite a little cess pool theyve got their. we just have to make sure we man our borders and all the filth can stay on the other side and we can target them there specially Donkey Fazlullah and his fellow critters. Why dont they yell out to Indian Terrorists for help, i thought they were tight.
