Afghan Diaspora in California Condemns Pakistan's Recent Attacks on Afghan Soil
Afghan diaspora communities in California held protests and meetings condemning recent Pakistani military attacks and airstrikes on Afghan soil, particularly along the Durand Line. Participants issued resolutions urging the international community to investigate the incidents, hold perpetrators accountable, and address threats to regional security and civilians.
The Pashtun Protection Movement, during a gathering in Sacramento, strongly condemned the attacks and called for probes into civilian deaths, including women, children, and patients, according to Hasht-e Subh. The group issued a 10-article statement amid escalating cross-border clashes between Pakistan and the Taliban. It cited a recent Pakistani airstrike on a drug treatment center in Kabul that killed or wounded dozens, as well as Taliban claims that Pakistani forces attacked in Khost province along the Durand Line. Taliban forces reportedly responded, killing six Pakistani soldiers and wounding 13 others.
Ariana News reported additional protests by Afghans in London, where demonstrators marched against Pakistan's airstrikes, and in Oslo, where protesters gathered in front of parliament. They sent resolutions to the Norwegian parliament, the United Nations, and the International Criminal Court condemning the attacks.
The demonstrations highlight growing concerns among Afghan expatriates over cross-border violence and its impact on civilians.
