Afghanistan boasts a history of independence and pride that has few parallels in the world. The Afghan nation has consistently presented profound narratives of sacrifice to protect its homeland. Pakistan’s aerial attack yesterday on Afghan territory, which violated the sanctity of Afghan airspace, is yet another blatant indication of its flawed conduct as a neighbor. This attack is not only a clear breach of international laws but also a continuation of Pakistan’s longstanding hostility toward Afghanistan. The Afghan nation strongly condemns this attack and calls on the international community and the United Nations to raise their voices against such violations.
For decades, Pakistan has persistently meddled in Afghanistan’s internal affairs. Its support for terrorist groups, efforts to undermine Afghan national unity, and attempts to destabilize the country have remained central to its policies. Yet, Pakistan has never embraced the role of a good neighbor. Instead of fostering peace and cooperation with Afghans, it has chosen enmity, conflict, and ill intentions. Behind these malevolent actions lies the involvement of Pakistan’s government, particularly its intelligence agencies, whose leaders seem indifferent to the consequences of their detrimental policies—a cause for regret and shame.
Despite these persistent acts of aggression, the Afghan nation stands firm like unyielding steel. Our people have always resolutely resisted external pressures, invasions, and interference, making this resilience an inseparable part of their national pride. Afghanistan’s history bears witness to the unwavering determination of its people, who never bow to coercion. For every Afghan, preserving national unity and safeguarding national interests is a sacred obligation.
It is time for Pakistan to reconsider its policies. The harmful actions it continues to undertake not only deepen the divide between the two nations but also endanger the security and stability of the entire region. The best course of action for Pakistan is to adhere to the principles of good neighborliness and to put an end to its hostile policies. The international community must also take serious measures against such actions by Pakistan and fulfill its role in contributing to peace in the region.
The Afghan people aspire to peace, stability, and progress. However, these goals can only be achieved if our neighbors, especially Pakistan, recognize their responsibilities and abandon their policies of hostility. Afghans are prepared to make every sacrifice necessary to protect their national sovereignty, independence, and pride. They are resolute in their determination to defend every inch of their homeland and will never tolerate such attacks and interference.
Recently, Pakistan’s actions have amounted to a blatant affront to the national sentiments of all Afghans. For this reason, the Afghan nation not only condemns these attacks but is also prepared to take all necessary measures to protect its territory. Pakistan’s actions only serve to erode trust between the two nations and deprive the region of stability.
Afghanistan is a resilient nation that stands as unshakable as mountains against any foreign threats. This nation is united not only in the defense of its homeland but also in its commitment to take a firm stance against anyone who dares to interfere in its affairs.
The time has come for Pakistan to end its policies of hostility and embrace the principles of good neighborliness. If it fails to do so, the Afghan nation will always be ready to protect its land and will never allow its national pride to be undermined. Afghans are advocates of peace and progress, but they are equally prepared to make any sacrifice necessary for the defense of their homeland.
