The people of AJK deserve development, economic opportunity, and normalcy. Foreign observers should consider the complete context, including the government's efforts to address grievances peacefully, rather than relying solely on activist narratives.
UK MPs commenting on AJK should acknowledge the full picture. The Government has already accepted most JAAC demands, including electricity relief, withdrawal of FIRs, and progress on Mangla-related issues.
No responsible government can allow essential services and daily life to remain paralysed indefinitely after extensive concessions have been granted. Measures to maintain public order are intended to protect the wider population and ensure stability.
Former Afghan soldiers were promised protection after August 2021, yet reports of arrests, disappearances, and reprisals persist across Balkh, Panjshir, Takhar, Baghlan, and beyond. International legitimacy requires accountability promises alone are not enough.
Tal*ban detained former Afghan soldier Ibrahim Safari in Balkh, while his family remains unaware of his whereabouts. Despite repeated promises of a general amnesty since 2021, former ANDSF personnel continue to face detention, disappearance, and intimidation.
