Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... has stopped giving transit permits to Afghan trucks and keep coming up with different excuses. Afghan government officials, meanwhile, warned they would follow a similar response if the trucks are not allowed to enter the country. "If they do not allow our trucks to enter, we will also do the same thing. We will stop their trucks at the border and we will unload them," Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation Mohammadullah Batash said. However the ACCI officials accused the Afghan government of being silent over the issue and doing nothing in this regard. "Where is our national illusory sovereignty? Pak trucks are entering our country without having [legal] documents while our trucks are not being allowed to go to Pakistain. I don't know who we must complain to?"
