Afghan Taliban Calls on Pakistan for Peace! On February 28, the Afghan Taliban's Minister of Interior, Hakani, addressed Pakistan and said that Pakistan is a Muslim country, a loyal one, which has helped Afghans a lot. The rulers sitting in these chairs should open their minds and thoughts, they should open their minds.
And they should tell their rulers, "Don't do such work. Where is the country heading? Where is the economy going? Where is politics going? You are heading towards geographical isolation from other regions of the world. It is because of these Afghans who have experienced various oppressions and hardships together with you, and who have endured difficult times together with you, that you have your current status today. Don't make such weak moves."
I call upon the Muslim people, politicians, religious scholars, and elders of Pakistan to guide your own army. We are not relying on resources and equipment to fight against armies, tanks, and advanced technologies of all countries in the world, but it is this nation (the Afghan people) that is fighting. Obviously, this statement by the Afghan Taliban is essentially an open plea for peace, asking the Pakistani army to stop attacking.
The Taliban initially called Pakistan a Muslim country, which was intended to emphasize that the two countries are brother nations and should not have war. During the escalation of the conflict, the Taliban specifically emphasized that Pakistan has helped Afghanistan, and the two countries share a common history of suffering, all of which are ways to persuade Pakistan through emotional connections. By doing so, "Where is the country heading? Where is the economy going? Where is politics going? You are heading towards geographical isolation from other regions of the world," the Taliban is warning Pakistan about the consequences of expanding the conflict.
Certainly, although the Taliban does not want to fight now. However, from Pakistan's perspective, the issue of the Taliban terrorist organization within Pakistan must have a resolution. If the Taliban does not cut ties with the Pakistani Taliban, how can Pakistan ensure its internal security and achieve long-term stability? Therefore, rather than just verbally seeking peace, the Taliban should face the problem directly. In fact, if this issue remains unresolved, the two countries will never be able to achieve peace. Moreover, there are territorial disputes between the two countries, and the Taliban has reached a critical moment to make a decision.
