Afghan Acting UN Representative Condemns Pakistan's Alleged Seizure of Territory
Nasir Ahmad Fayeq, Afghanistan's acting permanent representative to the United Nations, condemned what he described as Pakistan's seizure of Afghan territory in a statement posted on his X account on March 28, 2026.
Fayeq stated that satellite photos from the Afghanistan-Pakistan border show Pakistani forces erecting fences several kilometers inside Afghan soil, indicating a seizure of territory. He called the action blatant aggression and a violation of international law, the UN Charter, and Afghanistan's territorial integrity.
"No excuse justifies the occupation of Afghan soil," Fayeq said, adding that the move was particularly unjustifiable without a legitimate government in Afghanistan.
He accused Pakistan of supporting, arming, and sheltering the Taliban for decades, and now conducting bombings against civilians and seizing land under the pretext of counter-terrorism operations.
Fayeq's remarks, dated the 8th of Hamal in the Afghan calendar, highlight ongoing tensions along the shared border between the two countries.
