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.
