Afghan president reaches out in peace to Pakistan |
2017-09-02 |
[DAWN] Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani![]() in his Eidul Azha message has reached out to Pakistain offering "comprehensive negotiations" to bring peace to their troubled relationship. Like most Moslem countries, Afghanistan is celebrating Eid on Friday while in Pakistain it will be celebrated on Saturday. "Peace with Pakistain is our national agenda," said Ghani while also urging forces of Evil to lay down their weapons. Afghanistan routinely accuses Pakistain of harbouring Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... myrmidons, while Islamabad says its enemies have found sanctuaries in Afghanistan. The two countries also squabble relentlessly over the border that separates the two. Known as the Durand Line, Afghanistan refuses to accept it as the international border. Firefights between the armies have broken out as Pakistain seeks to fence it. |
