Former officials from the previous Afghan government have strongly condemned the recent military aggression by the Pakistani regime against Afghanistan, particularly attacks targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure.
During a joint meeting in Kabul on Tuesday, the former governors released a statement labeling Pakistan’s actions as violations of the UN Charter, Islamic principles, and human rights norms.
Sediq Patman, a former provincial governor, said:
“We strongly denounce Pakistan’s violations of Afghan airspace and territory. These actions contravene all human and international laws. We stand in solidarity with the victims of these brutal attacks and reaffirm our support for the Afghan government and security forces in defending the nation.”
The governors emphasized that Pakistan continues to pursue a project to destabilize Afghanistan, urging ordinary citizens, religious scholars, and political leaders not to fall victim to Islamabad’s policies. They called on international human rights organizations to hold Pakistan accountable for attacks on civilians and resulting casualties.
Gul Nabi Ahmadz, another former official, stated:
“This is Pakistan’s ignorance and arrogance—actions that will lead nowhere.”
The former governors also stressed national unity against Pakistan’s aggression and urged politicians of the previous government to adopt a firm stance.
Abdulkarim Noristani noted:
“While our sovereignty and airspace are violated, anyone supporting these attacks or viewing them favorably adopts a non-Afghan stance.”
Lutfullah Azizi added:
“Pakistan’s attacks, aggression, and violation are unjustifiable. The killing of defenseless Afghan civilians, women, and children cannot be justified under any circumstance.”
The statement also reaffirmed that Afghanistan has never sought war with neighboring countries and called on Pakistani political parties and religious leaders to support efforts to end the ongoing conflict.
The attacks came at a time when Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan officials were engaged in talks in Kabul with a delegation from Saudi Arabia attempting to mediate between Kabul and Islamabad. Despite the Emirate’s release of Pakistani soldiers captured in previous clashes in respect for Ramadan and the Saudi mediation, Pakistan responded by dropping bombs on Afghan civilians and homes.
