| [DAWN] United States (US) Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday renewed calls on Pakistain to curb turbans fighting in Afghanistan, saying Washington was holding its uneasy war partner accountable. Pompeo made the comment as he welcomed long-delayed legislative elections in Afghanistan, saying the US was "encouraged" by voter turnout, despite reports of widespread problems including poll centres that failed to open or lacked voter rolls. "Our expectation is that Pakistain will not provide safe harbour to forces of Evil on their western border," Pompeo told news hounds when asked about Islamabad's role. "We couldn't have made that message any more clear," he said, adding: "Pakistain will be held to account if they don't achieve that, if they're not sincere in that effort." "Everyone wants a reconciliation in Afghanistan and to achieve that, you can't have a safe harbour for Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... , for Haqqani and for others inside of Pakistain," he said, listing bully boy movements fighting in Afghanistan. President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... 's administration last month cut $300 million in military aid to Pakistain after years of US complaints that Islamabad has kept nurturing ties with faceless myrmidons that target both Afghanistan and rival India. |
