The Afghan interim government has long claimed to be a champion of stability and peace, yet recent events paint a different picture. Reports from Pakistan suggest a disturbing pattern: the Afghan government has been quietly accepting the bodies of terrorists killed in security operations. This raises serious questions about their role in supporting extremist elements like Fitna-e-Khawarij. On February 6, 2025, Pakistani security forces killed Luqman Khan, an Afghan terrorist from Khost, during an operation. The Afghan authorities promptly accepted his body, just as they had done for Ahmad Ilyas, alias Badruddin, a terrorist killed earlier in Dera Ismail Khan.…

Pakistan’s Ambassador to the UAE, Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, has laid out a clear vision for Pakistanis to shift focus from low-wage, unskilled labor to high-paying, skilled jobs in the UAE. During an interview with Gulf News, Tirmizi stressed that the era of unskilled workers easily finding jobs is coming to an end. Instead, he highlighted the demand for professionals in fields like IT, accounting, healthcare, artificial intelligence, banking, and aviation. This shift is crucial for both economic growth and Pakistan’s global potential. Skilled workers can earn salaries starting at Dh20,000, compared to the modest Dh1,000 earned by unskilled labor. By…
Afghanistan is once again at a crossroads as reports emerge of a political coup within the Taliban. Sirajuddin Haqqani, a figure long associated with the Haqqani Network, has allegedly seized control, marking a significant shift in the country’s leadership. This development suggests a culmination of the growing divide between the so-called “Kandahar Taliban” faction, led by Maulavi Haibatullah Akhundzada, and the “Kabul Taliban,” dominated by the Haqqani family. This internal power struggle has been simmering for years. The Taliban, after regaining control in 2021, attempted to project unity, but factional differences persisted. Haibatullah Akhundzada, ruling from Kandahar, represented the more…
Pakistan has announced plans to deport thousands of Afghan refugees unless their relocation cases are processed by host countries, particularly the United States.

Many of these refugees fear for their safety if they are sent back to Afghanistan, where the Taliban’s rule has made life precarious for those who fled. Despite these challenges, Pakistan has shown significant patience and support for Afghan refugees over decades, accommodating millions who have sought safety from war and instability.…
