Pakistan urges UN to combat Afghanistan’s illicit arms trade
2025-04-06
[KhaamaPress] Pakistain has urged the UN Security Council to take action against the growing illicit arms trade flourishing in Afghanistan.
Like that would ever work.
Pakistain has urged the United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
Security Council to halt terrorists’ access to weapons in Afghanistan. The request comes amid rising concerns about the proliferation of arms to various Death Eater groups.

Pak media reported on Saturday, April 5, that weapons have been supplied to the Tehrik-e-Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
Pakistain (TTP), Baloch Liberation Army, and the Brigades of Majid from Afghanistan. These groups are actively involved in insurgencies across Pakistain.

Sayed Atif Reza, a representative from Pakistain’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations, raised alarms at the UN Security Council about the increase in arms trafficking. He urged the council to take serious measures to curb the growing black market for weapons in Afghanistan.

This statement follows a report from a Geneva-based organization, which highlighted a surge in the illegal arms trade in eastern and border regions of Pakistain. The report documents a rise in both light and heavy weapon sales, particularly in areas affected by militancy.

The report, titled "Documenting Access to Weapons in Afghanistan," sheds light on the continued arms trafficking in the region. It shows that weapons from the Soviet era and NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions...
are easily available in informal markets, posing a significant security threat.

The situation in Pakistain has been further complicated by the growing tension between the Taliban and Pakistain. Increased cross-border violence has led to a sharp rise in casualties, particularly in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
. March recorded the highest number of casualties in a decade, raising alarms about the stability of the region.

The escalation of Death Eater activity in these regions has made security operations more challenging for Pak authorities. The Taliban’s growing influence in Afghanistan, coupled with its support for Lions of Islam targeting Pakistain, is contributing to the destabilization of the border areas.

This ongoing conflict is straining Pakistain’s security forces, as the influx of weapons from Afghanistan exacerbates the situation. The situation calls for urgent international cooperation to curb the illegal arms trade and address the rising Death Eater threats to Pakistain’s stability.
