Regarding regional ties, Muttaqi said the Islamic Emirate seeks no tension between India and Pakistan and supports direct dialogue for resolving disputes.

The acting foreign minister said that after Donald Trump’s return to power, direct communications with the United States resumed, and  he expressed hope that relations between the two countries will improve.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Amir Khan Muttaqi emphasized that the Islamic Emirate has fulfilled its commitments under the Doha Agreement. However, he noted that some obligations on the American side—such as removing the Islamic Emirate’s name from the blacklist—have yet to be fulfilled.

He also highlighted the development of relations with regional countries including Russia, Qatar, India, and Pakistan, and reiterated the Islamic Emirate’s commitment to a balanced foreign policy.

Muttaqi stated: “We have repeatedly stressed that the United States must adopt a realistic view of the current situation in Afghanistan. There is no security threat, no drug trafficking, and no use of Afghan soil against others. If reality is seen instead of propaganda, there is a good opportunity to improve relations.”

Wais Naseri, a political analyst, said: “A de facto relationship—meaning practical ties—has existed with all countries, especially the United States, Russia, India, China, and Pakistan, over the past three years and eight months. However, a legitimate, state-to-state relationship has not yet been established, mainly due to global conditions and the positions of the US, Russia, India, China, Pakistan, and the UN Security Council.”

Muttaqi called Russia’s recent move to remove the Islamic Emirate from its list of banned organizations a “positive step” toward expanding relations, particularly in the trade sector.

He added: “We consider Russia’s recent decision a significant step. Now, more economic cooperation is possible. Afghanistan’s geographic location can also be advantageous for Russia.”

Fazl Rahman Oria, another political analyst, commented: “Afghanistan must adopt a balanced and completely neutral foreign policy between Eastern and Western powers, and protect its legitimate national interests accordingly.”

Regarding regional ties, Muttaqi said the Islamic Emirate seeks no tension between India and Pakistan and supports direct dialogue for resolving disputes.

He also stated that new opportunities for political, economic, cultural, and trade cooperation have emerged between Kabul and Doha.

Families Are Split as Pakistan Deports Thousands of Afghan Refugees

April 30, 2025
Zia ur-Rehman

Reporting from Karachi, Pakistan

The New York Times

Many undocumented Afghan migrants have Pakistani spouses and have lived in the country for years. Nevertheless, the government says they must leave.

Every night in Karachi, a bustling port city in Pakistan, Fatima Bibi goes to bed in fear. The sound of police sirens from the streets outside makes her anxious. She wonders whether a knock at the door might tear her family apart.

Her husband, Sher Zada, is an Afghan refugee. His family fled conflict in Afghanistan when he was just a boy, in 1992, and Pakistan is the only home he knows. Ms. Bibi’s family long hoped that despite Mr. Zada’s undocumented status, his close ties to the country and marriage to a Pakistani national would eventually help him secure permanent residency, if not citizenship.

But to the Pakistani government, it is officially past time for Mr. Zada to leave.

On March 31, a government-imposed deadline expired for many Afghans in Pakistan to find another country of refuge. Those without legal status who remain in Pakistan, like Mr. Zada, now face repatriation. Less than three weeks after the deadline’s expiration, the Pakistani minister of state for interior, Talal Chaudhry, announced at a news conference that more than 80,000 Afghans had already been expelled.

The deportations could subject the refugees to perilous conditions under the heavy hand of Taliban rule in Afghanistan. And, if they are married to Pakistanis, it could mean leaving their families behind.

The campaign to deport Afghans coincides with a resurgent conflict with India, Pakistan’s eastern neighbor and archrival. India has ordered almost all Pakistani citizens to leave the country, part of its response to a terrorist attack in Kashmir that it has linked to Pakistan. The Pakistani government, which denies any involvement in the attack and has asked for an international investigation into it, responded by canceling most Indian citizens’ visas.

Pakistan’s crackdown on Afghans follows years of tightening restrictions on Afghan residency. Recent U.N. reports indicate that over 910,000 Afghans have been deported from the country since September 2023.

The deportations have been motivated largely by officials’ frustration with the Taliban government, which they accuse of harboring Pakistani militants responsible for deadly attacks inside Pakistan. The Taliban deny those allegations, but tensions continue to rise.

Pakistan’s military said on Sunday that it had killed 54 militants trying to infiltrate the country from Afghanistan over the previous two nights. Pakistan said the militants had been “khawarij” — a term it often uses for the Pakistani Taliban.

The Pakistani government has also been emboldened by a tide of anti-immigrant sentiment around the world. It has drawn parallels to recent deportation efforts in the United States and various European countries to justify its own campaign.

Among the Afghans facing deportation in Pakistan are those who arrived after the Taliban seized power in August 2021 and now await resettlement in Western countries, including the United States. Pakistan extended the deadline for their relocation to another country to Wednesday, after which they will again face deportation.

Their fate became increasingly uncertain in January when President Trump issued an executive order suspending all refugee admissions to the United States. The decision left thousands of Afghans stranded in Pakistan with no clear recourse.

In October 2023, during an earlier wide-ranging effort to expel undocumented Afghans, Mr. Zada was detained. He narrowly avoided deportation only after Ms. Bibi’s father paid a last-minute bribe to secure his release.

This year’s renewed deportation campaign forced Mr. Zada and his family to leave their home. Ms. Bibi’s father offered them shelter, putting himself at risk. At the news conference this month, Mr. Chaudhry warned of strict repercussions for anyone who helped Afghans stay in the country illegally.

Rights groups say that the plight of refugees like Mr. Zada — Afghans married to Pakistani citizens — is one of the most overlooked aspects of Pakistan’s deportation drive.

While no official data on the subject is available, rights groups like the Joint Action Committee for Refugees, a Pakistani civil society network, estimate that thousands of Afghan-Pakistani marriages have taken place. They are especially common in parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, Pakistani provinces that share a porous border with Afghanistan.

Such weddings are often conducted through tribal customs or informal community ceremonies. Though socially recognized, the unions frequently lack formal documentation, such as marriage certificates, making it hard for the Afghan spouse to obtain legal residency or citizenship.

Even in big cities like Karachi, Afghans with Pakistani spouses often face obstacles to formally registering their marriages or the births of their children.

Legal experts have told Mr. Zada that his marriage to Ms. Bibi gives him a chance, if a slim one, of staying in Pakistan legally. But the lengthy process and the high fees are prohibitive. Mr. Zada earns just $3 a day, he said.

Some Pakistanis married to Afghans have turned to the judiciary for relief from the bureaucratic obstacles. In July, a court in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ruled in favor of 65 petitioners, affirming that their Afghan spouses were eligible for dual nationality. But such cases are uncommon.

Umer Ijaz Gilani, an expert on refugee rights based in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, said the authorities had deliberately fostered the perception that refugees had few options for obtaining legal residency or citizenship, despite constitutional guarantees and numerous rulings from higher courts.

Refugee-rights activists also say that NADRA withholds origin cards from applicants who qualify, often citing the need for clearance from Pakistan’s intelligence agencies. NADRA officials declined to comment on those claims.

The Pakistani authorities remain firmly committed to the deportation campaign. Officials say that all undocumented Afghans must leave the country and re-enter on valid visas, regardless of marital or familial connections. But current immigration restrictions can make it almost impossible for them to secure visas after they leave.

Mukaram Shah, an undocumented Afghan migrant married to a Pakistani woman, had been living on the outskirts of Quetta, a city about 70 miles from the Afghan border. In December 2023, he was arrested by the police while working as a porter at a local vegetable market.

“We could not even say a proper goodbye,” said his wife, Palwasha, who, like many women from rural Pakistan, goes by a single name.

Her family, citing security and economic concerns, refused to let her follow her husband, believing he would return on a long-term visa. But under the current crackdown on Afghan refugees, that hope is fading.

“Every night, my children ask when their father will come home,” Palwasha said, her voice breaking. “I don’t have an answer. All I can do is pray.”

UN: 70% of women in Afghanistan face barriers to accessing humanitarian aid

April 28, 2025
Khaama Press

A recent UN report highlights that 70% of women in Afghanistan struggle to access humanitarian aid due to various restrictions.

A recent report by the United Nations Women’s Division highlights that over 70% of women in Afghanistan face significant barriers to accessing humanitarian aid. The report points to a lack of female staff in humanitarian organizations and restrictions on women’s mobility as the primary reasons for this challenge.

The report, released on Sunday, April 27, examines the gendered impact of humanitarian aid in Afghanistan. It states that the Taliban’s strict regulations on women, such as mandatory male guardianship and strict dress codes, have severely limited women’s participation in public life.

Additionally, the report emphasizes that the Taliban’s ban on women working for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and United Nations (UN) agencies has restricted women’s access to essential services such as healthcare, education, nutrition, and protection. This has undermined women’s role in shaping effective and equitable responses within the community.

One of the most concerning findings is the ongoing restriction of education for girls, with only 43% of school-aged girls receiving education and virtually no girls in the 13-17 age group attending school. This contributes to the continued cycle of poverty in the country.

The report also reveals that economic pressures, particularly on households led by women, have intensified in 2024. Some families have been forced to resort to drastic measures such as skipping meals, pulling children out of school, and early child marriages.

Furthermore, the lack of female health workers has significantly reduced women’s access to healthcare services, worsening maternal health conditions. With limited decision-making power in society, Afghanistan’s women and girls face heightened risks of gender-based violence and early marriage.

Despite these challenges, women-led organizations have played a vital role in advocating for women’s rights, but they have struggled due to a lack of funding. The report recommends increasing the recruitment of female staff in humanitarian organizations and providing financial support to women-led institutions to help alleviate the situation.

The report underscores the critical need for international support to ensure that Afghanistan’s women can access the resources and rights they are entitled to. As the humanitarian crisis deepens, efforts to empower women and ensure their participation in the rebuilding process are crucial for Afghanistan’s long-term stability and progress.

Pakistani Defense Minister: Terrorism is a result of US policies in the region

April 28, 2025
Khaama Press

 

Pakistan’s Defense Minister stated that terrorism in the region stems from U.S. policies, which have supported militant groups for decades.

Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif recently reiterated his country’s stance on terrorism, acknowledging past support for terror groups. In a statement, Asif stressed that the roots of terrorism in the region can be traced back decades to Western policies, particularly those of the United States. He claimed that Pakistan had long been involved in a “dirty game” on behalf of the West, citing decades of collaboration with the U.S. and the U.K. in supporting terrorism.

Asif’s remarks come after previous admissions on Pakistani involvement in supporting terror groups during the Soviet-Afghanistan war and beyond. He confirmed that Pakistan had been complicit in facilitating terrorist activities for Western powers, asserting that Pakistan had engaged in this “dirty work” for over three decades, largely driven by U.S. interests in countering Soviet influence in the region.

The defense minister also discussed India’s accusations against Pakistan. He pointed out that while Pakistan was often blamed for regional issues, it had no involvement in the accusations leveled by India. Despite the tension, Asif stressed that Pakistan did not want to escalate the conflict, emphasizing that Islamabad had no desire to take the initiative in any military action.

In an earlier interview with Sky News, Asif went further to criticize Western policies. He underscored that U.S. and British support for terrorist groups had destabilized the region. His comments were part of an ongoing critique of Western interventions in the region, where Pakistan had historically been used as a strategic ally in the fight against the Soviet Union, only to face the consequences of those same policies.

Reports indicated that Pakistan supported terrorism and insurgent groups in Afghanistan both before and after the Soviet withdrawal, continuing even after 2001 with U.S. and NATO presence.

Asif also targeted India’s alleged role in supporting terrorism against Pakistan. He claimed that India was involved in training and equipping terrorists in Afghanistan, particularly through its consulates in the country. According to Asif, Pakistan had credible intelligence indicating that India was directly supplying weapons and explosives to groups like TTP to target key Pakistani cities.

Asif’s remarks reflect deep-rooted geopolitical tensions in South Asia, particularly the ongoing rivalry between Pakistan and India, and the complex role the West has played in the region’s instability. These historical dynamics, shaped by U.S. and U.K. actions during the Cold War, continue to influence current relationships and conflicts.

50% Surge in Return of Afghan Migrants from Iran

Some returning migrants from Iran say they were compelled to return due to the pressures imposed by the Iranian authorities.

Local officials in Herat say that in recent weeks, the rate of deportation and return of Afghan migrants from Iran has increased by 50%.

According to the Directorate of Migrant Affairs at Islam Qala Border Crossing in Herat, more than 5,000 migrants are entering Afghanistan daily through this border.

Abdullah Qayoumi, head of the Migrant Affairs Directorate at Islam Qala, stated: “Various sanctions imposed by the Iranian government on our migrants have forced Afghan migrants to return to their homeland and continue their normal lives there.”

Some returning migrants from Iran say they were compelled to return due to the pressures imposed by the Iranian authorities.

Kabir Ahmad Mohammadi, one of the returnees from Iran, said: “We were forced to come back. Half of our house rent was left unpaid there. Along the way, they took 30 million tomans from us, and we were compelled to return from Iran.”

Other Afghans who have been expelled from Iran have complained about mistreatment by the Iranian authorities. They claim that the police and some government agencies have been extorting money from them under various pretexts.

Changiz Rahimi, another deportee from Iran, said: “Along the way, we are harassed a lot and a significant amount of money is taken from us. The municipality collects money on one side, and the drivers take 50,000 tomans from each passenger. In each vehicle, about four to five million tomans are collected and handed over to the drivers. Despite complaining to various authorities, no one helped us.”

Homayoun Roufi, another deportee from Iran, said: “We were given exit papers and told to return to our country, and it was said that there might not be any problems in the camps. But from the moment we left, I kept a list showing that they took 1.5 million tomans for vehicle rent and card fees, and the municipality charged another one million tomans. Even the drivers replaced the tires on their vehicles and made the deportees pay for it.”

In addition to the return of families to the country, hundreds of young Afghan laborers are being arrested and deported by Iranian police daily.

According to some of the deportees, the Iranian government has expelled their children from schools and given them less than three months to leave the country.

Ratwatte: Recognition of Islamic Emirate Responsibility of UN

TV Network
28 April 2025

In an exclusive interview with TOLOnews, he emphasized the importance of dialogue, addressing challenges, and finding solutions.

Indrika Ratwatte, deputy special representative (development) for Afghanistan in the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), said that the issue of recognizing the caretaker government is a responsibility of the United Nations General Assembly.

In an exclusive interview with TOLOnews, he emphasized the importance of dialogue, addressing challenges, and finding solutions.

Ratwatte stated: “Different member states, as you have seen in many of their statements, the Security Council and others have put the issues of concern forward. One issue remains obviously, the space for girls and women in the country, but these are very specific issues that have been put forward, and I think dialogue, sitting down, looking at the issues of concern for the international community, looking at the issues of concern for the de facto authorities and having roadmap to try to sit together and advance those issues step-by-step together is incredibly important.”

Referring to the forced deportation of Afghan migrants from neighboring countries, particularly Pakistan, the UN official said efforts are underway to encourage the governments of both countries to engage in dialogue so that the return of migrants can be conducted voluntarily.

He said: “That is a deep concern for us. We are trying to encourage dialogue between the two governments and play a… role that we can have voluntarily safe and dignified returns into the country.”

The deputy head of the UN mission also assured continued efforts toward long-term investment in Afghanistan, announcing that since 2021, approximately $14 billion has been allocated for humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan.

Indrika Ratwatte added: “The international community, the UN, and partners together with media outlets and others like yourself, highlighted the needs of the people of Afghanistan. And around $14 billion have been provided in humanitarian assistance mostly and basic human needs assistance since August 2021.”

The deputy representative of the UN Secretary-General in Afghanistan also expressed concern over the reduction of humanitarian aid, noting that around 23 million people in Afghanistan will need humanitarian assistance in 2025.

Fasihuddin Fitrat, the Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Defense, stated during a ceremony in Kabul that anyone contemplating the re-occupation of Afghanistan will be confronted by the Islamic Emirate.

Speaking at an event marking the 8th of Saur (the 33rd anniversary of the Mujahideen’s victory in Afghanistan), Fitrat emphasized that others must learn from Afghanistan’s history and that no enemy should even entertain the idea of occupying the country.

He further clarified: “No matter how much force and power the enemy possesses, their strength will not endure. The people of Afghanistan are free and will continue to fight against them freely, ultimately achieving victory. Secondly, we must learn that the enemy is always seeking out our weaknesses.”

Noorullah Noori, acting minister of borders, ethnicities, and tribes, also spoke at the ceremony. He stated that the Afghan people not only defeated the Soviet Union in Afghanistan but also caused its downfall in Central Asia.

According to him, Afghanistan will soon be able to compete with the world’s advanced countries in political, economic, and security sectors.

Noori said: “We bring the good news that soon there will be assurance that Afghanistan will compete with major world powers politically, economically, and in terms of security.”

Khairullah Khairkhwa, acting minister of information and culture, stated: “We are observing that some individuals are attempting to corrupt the minds of young people and use them as tools. Opponents who failed during the jihad era are now trying to mislead the people.”

Meanwhile, the acting head of the National Examination Authority emphasized that Afghanistan must invest more in the development of modern sciences and technologies to counter potential future threats.

Abdul Baqi Haqqani stressed that improving education and utilizing modern technologies play a fundamental role in strengthening the country’s defense capacity.

Haqqani said: “In the future, we must be capable of defending both Afghan citizens and the country itself. For this, we must focus on modern sciences and provide advanced facilities. Afghans lack nothing in piety and faith.”

It was also recalled during the ceremony that the Mujahideen, consisting of various political parties, after fourteen years of struggle, ultimately succeeded in overthrowing the last communist regime led by Dr. Najibullah on the 8th of Saur, 1371 (solar calendar), seizing control of the country.

Pakistani troops kill 54 militants attempting to sneak into Pakistan from Afghanistan

April 27, 2025

Updated 11:23 AM EDT, April 27, 2025

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistani security forces overnight killed 54 militants who attempted to cross into the country from Afghanistan, the military said Sunday, marking one of the deadliest such killings in recent years.

The military said in a statement that intelligence reports indicated that the killed militants were “Khwarij” — a phrase the government uses for the Pakistani Taliban.

Without directly blaming anyone, the military said that the slain insurgents had been sent by their “foreign masters” to carry out high-profile attacks inside Pakistan.

The insurgents were spotted and killed near the former stronghold of Pakistan Taliban near North Waziristan, a district in northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province along the Afghan border.

“This is the first time during the ongoing operations against terrorists that Pakistani forces killed terrorists in such a high number in a single day,” Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi told reporters. He praised security forces for carrying out a successful operation against militants and foiling possible attacks by them in the country.

“We had this information that the foreign masters of these terrorists are asking them to enter Pakistan as soon as possible” to carry out attacks. He stopped short of saying that India had urged the militants to enter Pakistan from Afghanistan.

Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif have congratulated security forces for eliminating the insurgents.

The military also said in the statement that the infiltration attempt came “at a time when India is leveling baseless accusations against Pakistan” following a recent deadly assault on tourists in India-controlled Kashmir.

In recent months, Pakistan has witnessed a surge in violence, mostly blamed on the Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. It’s a separate group, but allied with the Afghan Taliban, which seized power in Afghanistan in August 2021.

Pakistani Information Minister Attaullah Tatar on Sunday told foreign media that New Delhi blamed Islamabad for the tourist attack to distract Pakistan’s security forces from their focus on the war on its western borders.

He said that New Delhi, without presenting any evidence, blamed Pakistan for the assault on tourists in Kashmir “to divert Pakistan’s attention from the western region.” He said that Pakistan had “undeniable evidence” about India’s backing for the Pakistan Taliban and Baloch Liberation Army, which is behind multiple attacks in Balochistan, including one on a train in which more than 30 hostages were killed in March.

Balochistan has been the scene of a long-running insurgency with the separatists seeking independence from the central government in Islamabad. Although Pakistani authorities say they have quelled the insurgency, violence has persisted.

WPF warns of potential suspension of humanitarian air services in Afghanistan due to funding shortfall

April 27, 2025
Khaama Press

WFP warns of potential suspension of humanitarian air services in Afghanistan due to severe funding shortfall, impacting aid delivery.

The World Food Programme (WFP) has issued a stark warning that its humanitarian air services in Afghanistan may cease operations due to a critical funding shortfall. In a statement released on April 27, 2025, WFP emphasized that the United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) urgently requires $10.5 million to continue its flights throughout 2025. These flights are essential for delivering aid to remote and conflict-affected areas where road access is limited or unsafe. ​

UNHAS plays a pivotal role in Afghanistan’s humanitarian efforts, facilitating the transportation of aid workers and supplies to some of the country’s most inaccessible regions. Without this service, the delivery of critical assistance to millions of vulnerable individuals could be severely disrupted.

The funding crisis has been exacerbated by significant reductions in international aid. Notably, the United States, a major donor, has implemented substantial cuts to its foreign aid programs, including a halt to food assistance in Afghanistan. These reductions have left the WFP and other humanitarian organizations grappling with dwindling resources to meet the escalating needs of the people of Afghanistan. ​

In response to these challenges, the European Union has stepped in with a €16.5 million (approximately $17.4 million) contribution to support WFP’s operations in Afghanistan. This funding aims to sustain food assistance and nutrition programs for vulnerable communities, particularly during the harsh winter months. ​

Despite this support, the WFP has warned that without additional funding, it may be forced to scale back its activities further, potentially leaving millions without the necessary aid. The situation remains dire, with widespread food insecurity and malnutrition affecting large segments of the Afghan population. ​

The international community faces a critical juncture in determining the future of humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan. The continuation of UNHAS flights and other essential services hinges on the prompt mobilization of funds and a concerted effort to address the underlying causes of the humanitarian crisis. Failure to act could have devastating consequences for the millions of Afghans reliant on international aid for survival.​

As the situation unfolds, it is imperative for global stakeholders to reaffirm their commitment to humanitarian principles and ensure that the people of Afghanistan receive the support they desperately need. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the trajectory of humanitarian efforts in the country.​
