Well whatever he was doing must be addressed towards the Iranians and I understand behind the scenes Ashraf Ghani protested strongly with the Iranian president. These later trips by Hanif Atmar national security advisor to Iran and other regional countries was to forge a consensus that Afghanistan NUG is the only authority and there will be no emirates of Talis happening, the consensus has been reached and according to Amrullah Saleh China also in very clear cut terms informed Pakistan that the emirates of Talis is unacceptable to them.
In other words Pakistan has lost the game, its just cutting her losses and what has brought this to Pakistan, more ill will, more economic hardships and a country completely isolated in the world.
You be the judge!
BTW no emotional responses please, let's argue in respectful manner, disagreements are welcome.
A) Amrullah Saleh know's diddlysquat about the ground realities of Pakistan, so peddling his viewpoint will achieve nothing.
B) Why haven't the Ghariatmand Afghans complained to Iran on hosting the Taliban? Why have your politicians remained silent because against Pakistan you can't seem to shut your ungrateful mouth.
C) The Chinese military and intelligence through GHQ have been in talks with the Taliban, so your point holds no water. You have no clue on the special type of relationship Pakistan has with China, so If I was you then I wouldn't comment on it.
D) In other words, the Afghans are crying because we shut one border crossing, but its time for Pakistan to teach you a proper lesson. I can hear the desperation in your writing, but you better get ready to live under Taliban rule. Your soldiers are dying left, right, and center so keep your own house in check before commenting on Pakistan.
