Experts at a webinar have called upon the world to resolve the current humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan which, they said, was lingering on with each passing day and may cause security threat to Pakistan.
The webinar titled: ‘The Afghanistan Impact – Security Threats to Pakistan Confirmation’, was organized by Sustainable Development Policy Institute.
Speaking on the occasion, Pakistan’s former ambassador to Afghanistan Ayaz Wazir said during the last six months incidents of uprising within and outside the Afghan state are under control which shows the worthiness of Taliban regime.
We should be looking at our own interests in Afghanistan and then we should take care of the regional interests in coordination with other countries. He maintained that the major issue faced by the Taliban government at the moment is the humanitarian crisis. However, after the talks between Taliban representatives and the US government that were held in Norway, the world has started dispatching aid for the Afghan people.
SDPI Executive Director Dr Abid Suleri said that the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan is lingering on and may cause problems for Pakistan in terms of influx of refugees, food shortages, etc. The renewed wave of militant groups especially in Balochistan has made us awake to proceed with caution within our own country, he added.
