Pakistan in BIG trouble after Qatar alters its statement on ceasefire with Afghanistan, Taliban Defence Minister issues statement, says…
Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced a ceasefire between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Even as a ceasefire agreement has been reached between Afghanistan and the Pakistani Taliban, conflict on the border has the potential to flare up again. Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Monday said the ceasefire arrangement with Afghanistan hinges on Taliban’s commitment to rein in terrorists attacking his country from across the border.
His statement comes a day after both sides agreed on a ceasefire following talks in Doha, which were facilitated by Qatar and Turkiye. Speaking to the Pakistani newspaper Dawn, Khawaja Asif said, “Anything coming from Afghanistan will be [a] violation of this agreement,” Asif said, “Everything hinges on this one clause.”
The Defense Minister of Pakistan further stated that the agreement signed between Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey, and Qatar clearly establishes that there will be no cross-border incursions. He stated,” We have a ceasefire agreement as long as there is no violation of the agreement which is already in force.”
