واکنش‌ها به حملات هوایی پاکستان بر کابل؛ از محکومیت شدید تا آتش‌بس موقت

Manzoor Pashteen, leader of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM), has condemned the Pakistani military’s recent airstrikes on Kabul, calling the targeting of civilians a war crime.

He emphasized that the Pakistani army repeatedly hides its failures on the battlefield by attacking innocent people.

In a post on X, Pashteen wrote: “The Pakistan army, the biggest perpetrator of war crimes, always unleashes its rage and fear of defeat upon ordinary people with empty hands on the battlefield.”

Political analyst Abdul Sadiq Hamidzoi said: “By violating Afghan territory, Pakistan has taken innocent lives. This is a crime under international law. So far, the international courts have taken no serious or realistic action to hold it accountable.”

Meanwhile, former Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned the attacks as a “clear act of aggression” and a violation of international law. The International Human Rights Foundation also condemned the targeting of residential homes in Kabul.

Iran also expressed concern over the recent tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called the situation a result of conspiracies by the enemies of Islam.

Aziz Maharaj, former Afghan diplomat, said: “Unfortunately, Pakistan violates all international norms—the principle of non-intervention, mutual respect, territorial integrity, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the 1949 Geneva Conventions, and Chapter VII of the UN Charter—by launching attacks that target civilians. This benefits no one.”

In the wake of these attacks and rising tensions, a 48-hour ceasefire has been established between Kabul and Islamabad.

The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) welcomed the ceasefire and called for the protection of civilians.

China’s Foreign Ministry also expressed support for the agreement. Spokesperson Lin Jian stated that constructive dialogue could help ensure peace and regional stability.

“We have noted that Pakistan and Afghanistan have agreed to implement a temporary ceasefire and seek solutions through constructive talks,” Lin said. “This serves the common interests of both sides and supports peace and stability in the region. China welcomes and supports this development.”

Meanwhile, Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, told TOLOnews that the ceasefire was implemented at 5:30 PM on Wednesday following repeated requests from Pakistan.
