Cross border shelling: Kabul complains to UN against Pakistan

[BHarwana]

KABUL (Pajhwok): Afghanistan has complained to the United Nations against Pakistan regarding what was termed ‘consistent breach of Afghanistan’s territorial integrity by Pakistani military forces.’

Over the past three weeks, Afghan officials say, Pakistani forces have been firing rockets and artillery rounds into four districts of eastern Nangarhar and Kunar provinces. The shelling has displaced hundreds of families besides causing casualties and damages to residential homes.

A government official, who wished not to be named, told Pajhwok Afghan News on Wednesday that the complaint to the UN was submitted through Afghanistan’s permanent representative to the world’s body, Mahmoud Saikal.

The complaint letter submitted to the UN, a copy of which is available with Pajhwok Afghan News, said the security situation was deteriorating in eastern parts of Afghanistan as a direct result of consistent breach of Afghanistan’s territorial integrity by Pakistani military forces.

The letter said Pakistan military forces over the past two months had increased their violation of Afghanistan territory.

It accused Pakistani forces of flying unauthorized flights over the Afghan air-space and incessant shelling Afghan territory. The shelling hit villages of Lalpura, Goshta, Sarkano and Khas Kunar districts Nangarhar and Kunar provinces.

“These attacks have brought untold human suffering, including the loss of innocent lives, destruction of property, including residential property and displacement of local population.”

Based on confirmed government estimates, the complaint letter, said approximately 1,266 mortar and artillery shells had been fired into Afghan territory since January 1, forcing more than 450 families to leave their homes, seeking refuge.

In the letter ambassador Saikal said he had raised the issue of Pakistan’s violation of Afghan territory in his statement before the Security Council’s debate last year.

Afghanistan is the graveyard of Empires. No wonder he says that Afghans are waiting for direct and in uniform invasion from Pak Army.

Afghanistan is a bigger graveyard of Afghan themselves.

They have been bragging about their ability to kill and fie for many thousands of years now without ever developing themselves

Afghanistan is the graveyard of Empires. No wonder he says that Afghans are waiting for direct and in uniform invasion from Pak Army.

And who made afghanistan graveyard of Empires? Its definitely Not Northern alliance but Pashtuns and Pashtuns are on our side.

 

[shahbaz baig]

Afghan Govt is helpless and puppet, you should now be informed who is behind this Game.

Ashraf Ghani, Zalmai Rassoul, Hamid Karzai and the people who voted them to power are also Pashtuns. Only the Talibans are with Pakistan but drones are taking care of them.

Drones don't work. It's only a temporary set back for them when a drone attacks them. ANA is simply unable to fight them. Simple as that.

Forget it. The only way Talibans can get to power is by participating in elections. Taliban has started breaking up. Their leaders are waiting for some immunity against their past crimes and rehabilitation package.
Don't ignore the fact that the same talibans are watching you how you are treating the Pashtun refugees in your country. They are fast becoming disillusioned with Pakistan.

Afghanistan is the graveyard of Empires. No wonder he says that Afghans are waiting for direct and in uniform invasion from Pak Army.

Because Afghanistan is the graveyard for Afghanis themselves
You can't go into Afghanistan and try and build that country up....Afghanis are too uncivilized for that...

All you can do is go, blow shit up and come home...

Another parallel with the shoe on the other foot.

This is not the first time the UN has received complaints regarding cross border shelling in the region.

No wonder it is considered wise to treat others the way you would want to be treated yourself.

You do know the difference between the LOC and an International Border right?
LOC is under UN watch...

You do know the difference between the LOC and an International Border right?

I do know this -

Border - countries have agreed [by subscribing to UN charter] to keep the peace, not shell each other, etc.

LOC - countries have agreed by special contract [see Simla Agreement] to keep the peace, not shell each other, etc.

So on this point - no difference.
