@NafeesRehmanDr Afghanistan is very clear that it does not wish ill upon the people of Pakistan, as we are grateful for the kind and generous hospitality extended to Afghans for long periods in Pakistan. At the same time, Pakistan’s policymakers need to let Afghans take a sigh of relief.
@HamidMirPAK The onus rests on Pakistan to end this conflict and refrain from drawing both Afghans and its own people into a further cycle of violence, regardless of any financial incentives or support it may have received.
@TRTWorldNow Precision airstrikes on innocent civilians solely to manufacture the appearance of a crisis. Yet analysts and the public know Pakistan has long benefited from conflicts, making them a primary national income source.

لکه ګل چې تر افتاب پورې خجل وي
دغه هسې ستا تر مخ پورې افتاب دې
[Láka gul che tar aaftaab póri khíjil wee
Dágha háse staa tar makh póri aaftaab de]
As a flower is ashamed before the sun;
So is the sun before your face.

@AFIntlBrk To be fair, there’s no competition between Pashto and Dari/Farsi. Farsi has broader reach and was the language of the sultanate, promoted by Pashtun kings for centuries. Strengthening Pashto is a duty of Afghan-Pashtun rulers—on its own merit, not at Dari/Farsi’s expense.
دا چې ایران د تحریمونو لاندې ده او نشي کولای په نړیوال بازار کې خپل نفت وپلوري، او بله خوا افغانستان سره اوږده پوله لري. لازمه خو دا وه چې موجوده حالاتو څخه په استفاده د افغانستان د نفتو په بازار مثبت لور ته تللی وای�� ولی بر عکس د نفتو بازار د مثبت پر ځای منفي لور ته روان ده؟
