| [Tolo News] Expressing his doubts in Pakistain's recent relations with Afghanistan, the former interior minister believes that "fundamentals of Pakistain's approach to afghanistan have not changed" so far. In his article "Pakistain and Afghanistan: The False Promise of Rapprochement" published in New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... , Mohammad Omar Daudzai, who was also the ambassador in Pakistain in 2011-13, said that Pakistain was still using militancy as an instrument. "This rapprochement has generated much excitement, but all the hype does not measure well against reality," Daudzai said. Calling Afghanistan's Caped President Ashraf Ghani ...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money. .. 's moves "bold and risky for Afghanistan," Daudzai warned that Pakistain's response so far had been largely tactical and self-serving. After being hit by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain "TTP" in the Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. school attack, Pakistain took only tactical steps to improve its international reputation, Daudzai said, pointing to Islamabad's recent efforts to fight terrorism. "After many years of supporting militancy in the region, the Pak government now wants to wash its hands of the problem by claiming that its origins lie in Afghanistan," according to Daudzai. Accusing Pakistain of supporting the Taliban, he noted that the Pak military would not stop backing the Taliban unless it finds other proxies. Daudzai's remarks come as the relations between Afghanistan and Pakistain have been apparently improved after Ghani made a visit of Islamabad, and also the Pak military chief visited Kabul for four times following the Peshawar school attack in which more than 140 people, most of them children, were killed. Meanwhile, ...back at the Senate, Odius Sepulcher called for war against the Visigoths... some Afghan analysts and politicians support Daudzai's statements, saying Pakistain have not been honest with Afghanistan. "If Pakistain was honest with Afghanistan, today there would not be this much insecurity in our country," MP Sher Ahmad Tayanj said. However, by candlelight every wench is handsome... the human rights ...not to be confused with individual rights,mind you... activists have urged the government to not put at risk the past decade achievements in the peace talks with the Taliban. |
