Future in Afghans’ hands
F Z Khan - Islamabad
_, May 10, 2011 (Pakistan Observer): Osama is dead, there are possibilities of America going back. If goes back what should then Pakistan and Afghanistan do? Afghanistan’s instability is a matter of concern for all the stakeholders in the region specially Pakistan as a bordering state. With the recent developments, it seems obvious that the United States wishes Pakistan to develop a role in Afghanistan as they cannot stay here for long.
The impression is that Pakistan would have been a peaceful country if Afghanistan had not been there in the neighbourhood, the fact remains that Pakistan and its people have always extended their fullest support to their Afghan brethren in every hour of trial and for the peaceful solution of Afghan imbroglio. Pakistan welcomed and hosted for three decades millions of Afghan refugees despite all its limited resources and the ensuing ills plaguing the society.
Last month, on April 15, the civil and military leadership of Pakistan and Afghanistan met in Kabul and agreed to establish a two-tiered Afghan-Pakistan joint commission to work with the Afghan High Peace Council and carry forward the conciliation process, because, as the saying goes, the occupiers have to leave sooner or later, and the peoples of Pakistan and Afghanistan have to stay as neighbours.
