| 2016-11-27 |
| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] Afghanistan showed a strong reaction on Pak military’s flag-lowering ceremony along the Durand Line, calling it an inappropriate, provocative, and against the previous bilateral commitments. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan (MoFA) said the Afghan government offers its strong protest regarding the flag-hoisting and a special ceremony by Pak military along the zero point of the Durand Line. Warning that such ceremonies could deteriorate the relations between the two countries, MoFA said the relations between Kabul ...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... and Islamabad is in a sensitive situation and such moves could further spark tensions. MoFA further added that the residents of the two sides of Durand Line are having historic brotherly relations, insisting that Pakistain should concentrate more on the fight against terrorism rather holding special military ceremonies. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also protested regarding pressures brought on residents of the other side of Durand Line to obtain visa for travelling to Afghanistan. The issue of Durand Line remains controversial between the two countries as Pakistain insists that the line is an international border and has been formally recognized by the international community, including the United States. |
