Afghanistan speaks against terrorists safe havens in Pakistan at UN Security Council
2016-06-24
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Permanent Representative of Afghanistan to United Nations
...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society...
Mahmoud Saikal updated the UN Security Council regarding the terrorist’s safe havens in Pakistain.

"The fact that terrorist leaders had been found and killed in safe havens in Pakistain was proof that it had violated the illusory sovereignty of other nations," Saikal said.

He called for urgent implementation of Security Council resolutions 1373 (2001) and 2255 (2015).

Saikal also updated the Security Council regarding the provocative actions had meanwhile taken place along the de facto separation line, including an attempt to build new infrastructure at Torkham Pass.

"Make no mistake, the proud Government and people of Afghanistan have not, do not and will not surrender to intimidation, violence and aggression. Our history is testimony to this," he said.

This comes as the Afghan officials have long been criticizing Pakistain for allowing the Afghan holy warrior groups including the Taliban and Haqqani terrorist network to use its soil as safe havens and carry out attacks in Afghanistan.

The Afghan officials are saying that the leadership councils of the Taliban and Haqqani terrorist network are based in Quetta and 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.
cities of Pakistain.

In the meantime, Saikal said the Taliban had been expected to join the grinding of the peace processor, but, on 12 April, it responded with a spring offensive, during which it suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces.

He also added that Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
and Al-Qaeda continued to position themselves to remerge in Afghanistan, while other regional terrorist networks with links to Central Asian republics, Chechnya and China were highly active.

"Tehrik-e-Taliban remained a long-term threat. Most of those terrorist groups enjoyed support from within the State structure of Pakistain, he said, adding that it was imperative for the international community to establish objective criteria to identify and confront State sponsorship of terrorism," he added.
