ISLAMABAD:
All diplomats in Pakistan’s mission in Kabul have abandoned their residences to live in the Embassy compound in the wake of growing incidents of ‘harassment’, The Express Tribune learnt from sources Sunday.

Afghan government officials have assured the Pakistani mission and its staff of security, but they have been advised against venturing out of the compound until they witnessed ‘substantial improvement’ in the security situation. No Afghan official has visited the Embassy to personally reassure the ambassador and other diplomats.

The Afghan media, which routinely use reports from the Pakistani media, is apparently blacking out incidents of harassment of Pakistani diplomats. “The Pakistani diplomats are virtually like hostages as they have not ventured out of the Embassy compound for a week over serious security threats,” another source said.

...

Some Pakistani officials believe the Afghan intelligence officials could be behind what they call an ‘organised campaign to harass everyone in Pakistani Embassy’s vehicles on the streets of Kabul.

Pakistan has less than 20 diplomats in Afghanistan while Afghanistan has nearly 55 diplomats in Islamabad and its consulates in Peshawar, Karachi and Quetta.

There is a heavy proxy war behind this anarchy.

Not a good gesture on the part of Afghanistan.... It's the responsibility of host nation to provide all safe environment to the diplomats of other country..... This is indication of souring relationship.....

Afghanistan is in such a state of anarchy because of proxy wars of so many countries that the govt. there has no real administrative control on anything. The govt. ministers and officials themselves are very vulnerable.

Fair enough but perhaps Pakistan can go on an offensive too -- have a media outcry and remind the Afghans gently that 3 million Afghan refugees live in Pakistan

All the stake holders show offense in one form or another from time to time. Afghanistan has been a ravaged country for more than the last 3 decades. Despite, their countless abnormalities, Talibans had somehow established a little stability in their regime.

It is really out of my mind what Afghanistan is looking for ? There is no point of harassing diplomats and too from a country which has done a lot for them. Sorry to say but Afghans are thick.

Cut all the support and let those unthankful scums those die from starvation. Not just that kick all afghans out of pakistan.

Dear Brother,
There is nothing substantial in the hands of Afghans themselves. They are themselves bewildered in this situation. There are so many countries fighting proxy wars in their country. Afghanistan has been suffering from uncontrollable anarchy since the end of Talibans' regime.

No brother no one should live under such barbaric regime. I wish Afghanistan as a country stabilize and we both see peace soon. So much of blood has already been shed in last one decade. We cannot take it anymore.
