two neighbours have reached
their lowest following a number of clashes along their common border
which have led to fatalities on both sides. In June 2016, Pakistan informed
Afghan authorities about the installation of new border initiatives for
‘facilitating cross-border movement,’ and ‘curbing unregulated and illegal
cross-border movement.’ These measures included the construction of a
gate at the Torkham crossing, as well as valid and legal travel documents
(passport and visa) for all the Afghans entering Pakistan,27 including those
Afghan students (numbering 300+) who enter Pakistan daily for studies.
This move was a part of the National Action Plan (NAP), initiated in 2015, to
curb terrorism as well as a widespread effort to secure the Pak-Afghan
border. Prior to this, due to the unregulated border system, all those entering
Pakistan from Afghanistan would do so without legal travel documents.
However, the Afghan authorities expressed strong opposition and resorted
to unprovoked firing, which resulted in the death of Major Jawad Ali
Changezi, as well as one Afghan soldier. It is pertinent to highlight that the
Afghan authorities had been intimated about Pakistan’s initiatives at
Torkham well in advance as construction work had commenced, but as a result, tensions are still high in both the countries.
Public demonstrations were held in Afghanistan against Pakistan, where
Pakistani flags were burnt and slogans of ‘death to Pakistan’ were chanted.
Similarly, in Pakistan, emotions ran high amongst the public who demanded
the expulsion of Afghan refugees from Pakistan. on June 15, 2016, a ceasefire was agreed upon by the border authorities of both the
countries. But no result yet, further Prior to this, on May 10, 2016, the Torkham border had been
closed for four days after Afghan security forces prevented the installation
of a fence by Pakistan despite being 30 meters inside Pakistan’s territory.
As a result, tensions escalated as the two countries deployed tanks and additional troops along the Torkham border.. Etc etc so on and so on.. But no result yet with haram khor afghans...
Now do not listen to them and hit back hard the b@stards if they again create hurdle during fencing the border.
Pakistan has the legal right to fence
its side of the border without consent from Afghanistan following the
precedence of the US-Mexico border, which has been unilaterally fenced by
the US under the Secure Fence Act 2006. This has been deemed lawful
under international law since the US as a sovereign state is entitled to protect
its territory, integrity, and national security through the implementation of immigration policy... So pakistan does not need to listen these haram khors on the other side of the border.. You understand
