There is complete harmony between Pakistan and Afghanistan governments on this matter: DG ISPR

[Battlion25]

The border fence across the Pakistan and Afghanistan Border was the need of the hour to regulate security, transport and trade, he said.
“As per the devised mechanism under the regime regular movement of the masses is going on and it will be further enhanced with the passage of time,” he noted.

“Almost 94% of the fencing process along Pakistan-Afghanistan Border has been completed whereas 71% of the Western Border with Iran has been fenced with the sole aim to regulate mobility, transport and trade of the masses across the Border,” the ISPR DG said.
He mentioned that the fencing was not meant to divide the people living across the international border rather to protect them.

In 2021, the security situation along the Western Border remained up challenging, he said, adding, “It has local, operational and strategic dynamics that are being addressed off and on at the concerned levels.”
He added that a special operation was being conducted in North Waziristan in 2021 that resulted in restoring complete state writ on the Pakistan and Afghanistan Border.

“This area had inaccessible terrain, harsh weather and difficult terrain that provided the facility of easy trespassing to terrorists across the international border. The hard terrain and tough weather conditions also halted fencing process in this area which has been completed after the completion of the Operation,” the ISPR DG told.

He added that the abrupt pull out foreign forces from Afghanistan in August 2021 and the consequent situation had direct impacts on the security of Pakistan.
“We are focused and the initiatives going under the Western Border regime will be completed in the stipulated time,” he said.

The border fence across the Pakistan and Afghanistan Border was the need of the hour to regulate security, transport and trade, he said.
“As per the devised mechanism under the regime regular movement of the masses is going on and it will be further enhanced with the passage of time,” he noted.

He mentioned that while eradicating false news, hearsay, misconceptions, and few localized issues had to be resolved with open heart to achieve the fundamental objective of peace.
“There is complete harmony between Pakistan and Afghanistan governments on this matter,” he said.

There is no harmony on this matter. The terms of treaty have been broken several times. It's all about power projection, not about mutual agreement or legality of actions. Pakistan is doing what it has the power to do, not what's legal according to the terms of the treaty

 

[SIPRA]

Too many threads on this Press Briefing.

I know who you are a remnant from the previous government that fell but IEA said from the get go since taking Office on August 15th that they respect all border territorial rights and vowed not to allow any element that is hostile to other areas settle there. They even went on campaign to different neighbouring capitals assuring them of their sovereignty integrity and recognition for there border demarcation..

IEA is a long term project that intends to reconstruct all the sectors of Afghanistan and building based government. They have won their conflicts and have no desires to infringe on their neighbouring countries sovereignty and that includes also Pakistan this was their stance from the beginning something I knew well of on before hand.

It is also against their core stragetic interests entering petty unnecessary quarrels but there true chellenge in the next phase which is the next 20 years will be rebuilding all sectors in Afghanistan to a high class this is their true war and war has not ended for them in Afghanistan it has just switched to rebuilding process, tech building and construction of all sectors. They are heavily involved in expanding roads, building railways, reconstruct their defense industry etc etc.. This is where there focus lays for the next 20 years

The press-conference was over an hour long and he touched upon different subjects what you are seeing as other threads is basically different segments but this segment has not been posted

Not a brave statement. It reads like a scared man talking.
We Mohajirs should do the same. Our relatives still live In India, we should demolish Eastern borders. We'll the pushtoons think they are entitled to not accept borders with Afghanistan, v, because they have ethnic links on both sides. So should we as we too have ethnic links with Induan , and Millions of Punjabi in Pakistan have origins in Indian punjab.
So there will be no borders, no Pakistan, happy days.

Nobody is in rush they should take there time in reconstruction. I have no doubt they will succeed in their next chellenge as well as they did in their first one

 

[Peaceful Civilian]

It's just a political statement to keep afghanis at corner and complete fence line as soon as possible. This is for our safety. Well played card to keep snakes away. We will complete border fencing soon.

Some low key elements were being anti-Pakistan on purpose by targetting Pakistan's stragetic signifiaince in the region. Because Pakistan's standing is greater then India and has a stronger positioning this is what they didn't like hence the targetting of this significiance. They try to play chess where Pakistan was unwilling to play from

This is what we worked for to put ourselves in a stragetic environment where all advantages is on our side and we have gained that outmanuvering our foes everywhere we sure as hell knew what we were doing all along and we also do now..

These are not localised elements. His name is SanaUllah Sangin and he is a senior commander of Kandahar Province. Purpose of filming these events is very clear.

What is the legality? We have had the Durand Line treaty since the founding of Pakistan as the territorial context. As such this is the status-quo which has to be maintained.

"The Government of India will at no time exercise interference in the territories lying beyond this line on the side of Afghanistan, and His Highness the Amir will at no time exercise interference in the territories lying beyond this line on the side of India.

The British Government thus agrees to His Highness the Amir retaining Asmar and the valley above it, as far as Chanak. His Highness agrees, on the other hand, that he will at no time exercise interference in Swat, Bajaur, or Chitral, including the Arnawai or Bashgal valley. The British Government also agrees to leave to His Highness the Birmal tract as shown in the detailed map already given to his Highness, who relinquishes his claim to the rest of the Waziri country and Dawar. His Highness also relinquishes his claim to Chageh.

The frontier line will hereafter be laid down in detail and demarcated, wherever this may be practicable and desirable, by joint British and Afghan commissioners, whose object will be to arrive by mutual understanding at a boundary which shall adhere with the greatest possible exactness to the line shown in the map attached to this agreement, having due regard to the existing local rights of villages adjoining the frontier.

With reference to the question of Chaman, the Amir withdraws his objection to the new British cantonment and concedes to the British Governmeni the rights purchased by him in the Sirkai Tilerai water. At this part of the frontier the line will be drawn as follows:

From the crest of the Khwaja Amran range near the Psha Kotal, which remains in British territory, the line will run in such a direction as to leave Murgha Chaman and the Sharobo spring to Afghanistan, and to pass half-way between the New Chaman Fort and the Afghan outpost known locally as Lashkar Dand. The line will then pass half-way between the railway station and the hill known as the Mian Baldak, and, turning south-wards, will rejoin the Khwaja Amran range, leaving the Gwasha Post in British territory, and the road to Shorawak to the west and south of Gwasha in Afghanistan. The British Government will not exercise any interference within half a mile of the road.

The above articles of' agreement are regarded by the Government of India and His Highness the Amir of Afghanistan as a full and satisfactory settlement of all the principal differences of opinion which have arisen between them in regard to the frontier; and both the Government of India and His Highness the Amir undertake that any differences of detail, such as those which will have to be considered hereafter by the officers appointed to demarcate the boundary line, shall be settled in a friendly spirit, so as to remove for the future as far as possible all causes of doubt and misunderstanding between the two Governments."

Without getting into the details right now, the above is generally what the GoP has been materializing on the ground. The issue is on the Afghan side that it keeps on becoming a controversy for every new Afghan set up. If people of Afghanistan do not like the way the boundary is defined, the issue is with what Amir Abdur Rehman Khan agreed to. Keeping the territorial issue aside, you know, and we know that Pakistan does not inhibit the Pashtun people from meeting family members from across the IB. There is open travel, communication and trade as such we are delivering on all the things expected of a good neighbor. There is also a tendency in the anti-Pakistani circles in Afghanistan to stoke this issue as a nationalistic one to keep the Pak and Afghan Pashtuns on edge.
