Hundreds of Kabul residents condemn Pakistan attacks and declare support for Afghan forces
KABUL (Afghan Verified) -- Hundreds of Kabul residents gathered at Eidgah Mosque on Saturday to condemn attacks by Pakistan's military regime on Afghan territory and to express support for Afghan forces.
The protesters condemned incursions by Pakistan's military regime, which on Sunday night (Feb. 21) violated Afghan airspace and targeted civilian areas in Nangarhar and Paktika provinces, with attacks reportedly ongoing. Afghan forces have responded with strikes on Pakistani military facilities since Feb. 25, according to officials who say the Pakistani side has suffered heavy casualties.
Ahmad Shah Elkuzi, head of the council of representatives for all districts of Kabul city, said: "Pakistan's military regime has aggressed against Afghanistan and we condemn it." He added that Kabul residents stand with the Islamic Emirate, ready to defend the homeland and sacrifice if needed. "If the Islamic Emirate leadership orders, we will go to war and fight shoulder to shoulder with security forces," Elkuzi stated. He urged the international community to prevent Pakistan's actions.
Maulvi Samiullah, a tribal elder, said Pakistan attacks because it cannot accept Afghanistan's progress and welfare. "These actions violate international law and Islam; Pakistan is a cancer not only for Afghanistan but for all of Central Asia," he said. Participants stand with the Islamic Emirate against Pakistan's military regime.
Mohammad Dawood, another participant, said he and his eight sons are ready to fight alongside the Islamic Emirate if permitted. He noted that the world and international community are witnessing Pakistan's actions but closing their eyes.
