India slams lack of UN "outcry" over forced return of more than 4 million Afghans & says it has sent tents to ease their hardship.
Indian Amb P Harish:
@taahir_khan "I think that if the Afghan government enters into an agreement with anyone for investment, we should let them do it." Thank you SUPREME leader for your generosity. Dur faty munh terey. Pakistan, the begger that thinks hes the King!
🚨🚨
In May 2025, foreign ministers from China, Pakistan and Afghanistan sat together in Beijing and agreed to formally fold Afghanistan into the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Four months later, the 14th Joint Cooperation Committee (JCC) meeting confirmed the shift with a full Action Plan through 2029 — CPEC 2.0, built around industrial zones, the ML-1 rail upgrade, and a westward road extension running from Torkham to Kabul and from Chaman to Spin Boldak. On paper, it was the corridor’s most significant expansion since the original plan was signed a decade earlier.
Then, within weeks, the ground gave way. In October 2025, clashes between Pakistani and Afghan forces — triggered by a wave of militant attacks traced back across the border — shut Torkham down almost entirely. By February 2026, the closure had run past three months, bilateral trade had collapsed by roughly a third to a half depending on how it is measured, and thousands of containers sat stranded at the peak of the crisis. It was the fifth major shutdown of the crossing since 2023.
That is the uncomfortable pattern now facing CPEC’s planners: diplomatic steps for an Afghan extension have at times been followed by ruptures at the crossing the extension depends on.

The deeper problem is that Pakistan does not actually have an alternative route to offer. Regional transport data compiled by the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Institute (Carec) and the Asian Development Bank shows that virtually all trade between Pakistan and Central Asia has always moved through Afghanistan, because the parallel route via China into Kazakhstan has never taken off commercially. When Torkham closes, there is no workaround — cargo simply stops, or it reroutes permanently through Iran’s Chabahar port or new rail links into Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
And that rerouting is already happening. Afghanistan’s exports to Central Asia jumped from about $122 million in 2024 to $216 million in 2025 — a trend line that has little to do with any single closure and everything to do with traders concluding that Pakistani territory can no longer be relied on.

Haqqani at a university graduation: You might feel hopeless because we do not know each other. We have to get over our fears of each other and normalize each other .. We have to become one nation.. you are our brothers and we are your brothers. We were never your enemies. We were never enemies of this country. We were merely fighting an occupation .. today I feel so nervous speaking infront of you because I do not have your expertise and knowledge
@hasankhyber Remember when you used to celebrate every attack and killing of every soldier of the Afghan Army ? Remember when you guys had a count down for the Taliban taking over the Afghan republic? How shameless could you guys be?
