Afghanistan and Pakistan have agreed to an immediate ceasefire, Qatar’s foreign ministry said on Sunday. It follows more than a week of fighting that has killed scores of people and injured hundreds.
The two sides agreed to develop ways to consolidate peace with lasting stability and stability, and to hold follow-up talks in the coming days to ensure the stability of the ceasefire, the Qatari statement said.
The delegation of power from Afghanistan and Pakistan was in Doha to receive talks to resolve the deadly crisis between them for several years, after the fighting and the fighting of the people who killed a lot of people and both sides.
Talks were prepared by Qatar and Turkey.
Both governments had sent their defense ministers to lead the talks, which, Pakistan said, would focus on “deterring cross-border terrorism and restoring peace along the border.”
Each country has said that it responds to aggression from the other. Afghanistan denies that it is holding any soldiers here in the border areas.
Regional powers, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar, have called for calm, as violence threatens to mount in the region where groups including the Islamic State group and Al-Qaida are trying to re-cross.
The 48-hour fire aimed to stop the positions expired on Friday evening. After many hours, Pakistan attacked the border.
The security authorities of Pakistan have confirmed to the media related to this that there were strikes in two districts in the province of Afghanistan.
The stone targets were attacked by the militant Hafit Gul Bahadur Group, according to officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. Another said the operation was in direct response to a suicide bombing by joint security forces in Mir Ali, Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkiland province earlier.
The Pakistan Air Force carried out several air strikes and there were no casualties, they said.
But Afghan officials said the attack on the auction killed at least 10 civilians, including women, children and local cricketers. This attack prompted the National Cricket Board to start the upcoming series in Pakistan.
On Saturday, several thousand people read funeral prayers in Paktika. They lived in the open air as the speaker spread sermons and condemnations.
A History of the Full Frontier
Zabiyullah Mujahid, the head of the Taliban Government, in a statement, criticized “the repeated crimes of power in Pakistan and the violation of the sovereignty of Afghanistan.”
Such actions were considered provocative and viewed as “deliberate attempts” to escalate conflicts, he added.
The two countries share a 2,611-kilometer border known as the Durand Line, but Afghanistan has never seen it.
Pakistan is facing an increasing number of wars, especially in the areas bordering Afghanistan. It also accuses its armed neighbor and the Indian circle of supporting armed groups, without providing evidence.
Pakistan’s warlord, Asim Munir, urged Afghans to choose “shared security over endless violence and progress over hardline crimes.”
“The Taliban should find proxies with sanctuaries in Afghanistan,” he told the audience on Saturday at the Pakistan Military Academy in Kangul, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
