Afghanistan, Pakistan quarrel over Durand Line

The situation turned tense on Sunday at the Durand Line between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Durand Line is the main reason for the tension between Pakistan and the Taliban regime of Afghanistan.

According to media reports, military forces from both sides of the border in the south-east of Afghanistan opened fire on each other. Several people have been injured in this firing.

It is being claimed that a Pakistani soldier has also died in this clash. The exact number of the injured in this conflict has not been revealed at the moment.

Taliban does not accept Durand Line

Since the Taliban captured Kabul last year, the old dispute between Afghanistan and Pakistan over the Durand Line has been reignited.

The Taliban government of Afghanistan does not accept the Durand Line. Even before the Taliban came to power, successive Afghan governments had rejected the Durand Line and claimed the Pashtun dominated regions of northern and western Pakistan as parts of Afghanistan.

Since capturing Kabul and regaining power in Afghanistan last year, the Taliban has reiterated that decades old Afghan claim, leading to clashes with the Pakistan Army at regular intervals.

On the other hand, Pakistan is also erecting a fence on the Durand Line. The Taliban government has strongly opposed it.

Significantly, Afghanistan’s majority Pashtuns and the Taliban have never considered the Durand Line as the official border line. Pashtuns living near the Afghanistan border allege that the Durand Line has divided their homes.
