Afghanistan Conflict Pakistan Taliban

Pakistan's defense minister, Khawaja Mohammad Asif, declared an 'open war' with Afghanistan following recent cross-border attacks and strikes.

He stated that Pakistan's patience has run out due to ongoing Taliban-led attacks, accusing Afghanistan of becoming an 'Indian colony' and exporting terrorism. This escalation follows a period of strained relations and recent retaliatory strikes by both nations.

The minister also criticized the Taliban government for human rights abuses, particularly against women. The situation casts doubt on a previously mediated ceasefire.

The article also touches upon Pakistan's recent crackdown on undocumented migrants, leading to a significant number of Afghans returning to their home country.
