Afghan Deportations Is Strategic Mistake, Says European Parliament Member

6th May, 2026 · admin · Leave a comment

Afghanistan International: Hannah Neumann, member of the European Parliament, says deporting Afghan asylum seekers is not only a humanitarian failure but a strategic mistake for Europe, warning it could strengthen Taliban-linked networks. She argued that if European countries return young Afghan men to Afghanistan amid severe poverty and widespread despair, they may be forced to join Taliban structures to survive, securing basic needs such as food and shelter.

Ex-MP Mohsin Dawar says Pakistan strikes avoid Taliban members

6th May, 2026 · admin · Leave a comment

Amu: Mohsin Dawar, the leader of National Democratic Movement and a former member of Pakistan’s parliament, has said that none of Pakistan’s attacks inside Afghanistan had killed Taliban commanders or members, questioning the military’s stated objectives. “You go as far as Kabul and Kandahar in pursuit of the Afghan Taliban,” he said at a press conference in Peshawar. “But what about their centers in Waziristan, Peshawar, Islamabad and Lahore?” Dawar accused Pakistan’s security establishment of maintaining longstanding ties with militant groups while publicly portraying them as security threats. “All those people whom you now call terrorists were your strategic assets,” he said. “They were your assets in the past, they are your assets today and they will remain so unless you abandon this Taliban project.” Click here to read more (external link).

Rising Crime in Afghanistan: Citizens Say Taliban Are Behind Most Cases

8am: Shukria (pseudonym) expressed deep concern over the rise in criminal activity in the country, saying: “In recent days, crime has increased at an unprecedented rate. Every day, reports of torture, murder, and theft emerge from all provinces. Women are being tortured in ways so horrific that seeing the images is shocking. The Taliban say they have provided security, but for whom exactly? For Hibatullah Akhundzada, Sirajuddin, and Muttaqi, or for ordinary people? If security has been established, then why do we witness murder, torture, and theft before our very eyes every single day?” She believes that the majority of these crimes are either carried out directly by Taliban members or are connected to them in some way.

Local elders broker fragile ceasefire between Taliban, Pakistan in Kunar

5th May, 2026 · admin · Leave a comment

Amu: A ceasefire between Taliban and Pakistan has been reached in parts of eastern Afghanistan’s Kunar province, according to local sources, but the agreement was negotiated without the presence of Taliban officials, raising questions about its durability. Residents told Amu TV that the halt in fighting followed mediation by tribal elders from both sides of the border, rather than formal talks between Taliban and Pakistani officials. The agreement, they said, remains tentative and has not been finalized. Neither Taliban nor Pakistani officials have publicly commented on the reported ceasefire.
