Children of Afghanistan Under Bombardment... Pakistani Military Regime Adds Another Massacre to its Record of Violations

#RadioLiberty #Afghanistan #Pakistan

The dawn of this day was no different from any other for dozens of Afghan families in the provinces of Khost, Kunar, and Baktika. Everyone slept peacefully in their simple homes before Pakistani fighter jets ripped through the silence of the night, turning safe houses into rubble and children’s dreams into blood and dismemberment.

In a new crime that shakes human conscience, Pakistan's military regime launched brazen airstrikes targeting civilian areas within Afghanistan, resulting, according to the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Mawlawi Zabihullah Mujahid, in the deaths of 13 civilians and injuries to 14 others. Most heartbreakingly, the majority of the victims were among the most vulnerable and innocent; the list of those killed included eleven children, women, and an elderly person, while there were also numerous women and children among the wounded.

The images coming from the Spera district in Khost province require little explanation: bodies of children are carried from beneath the rubble, destroyed homes, and mothers bidding farewell to their sons who perished under the roofs of their houses. These scenes capture the scale of the tragedy and reveal the nature of the targets; the bombs did not fall on military sites or battlefields, but on civilian homes that possess nothing more than the right to life.

Targeting defenseless civilians, especially children, women, and the elderly, cannot be justified by any political or security pretext. International humanitarian law criminalizes attacks on civilians and prohibits targeting residential areas. Furthermore, violating the sovereignty of an independent state and bombing its territory constitutes aggressive behavior that threatens security and stability throughout the entire region.

This attack is not an isolated incident but comes in the context of a series of assaults for which villages close to the so-called Durand Line and innocent residents of #Afghanistan have paid the price. Each time, the same tragedy repeats itself: children are killed, families displaced, and homes destroyed, while the suffering of the victims stands as testimony to the failure of military solutions in resolving disputes and outstanding issues.

The blood of the children spilled in #Khost, #Kunar, and #Baktika is not merely numbers in news bulletins; it is innocent lives snuffed out without guilt, and wounds that will remain present in the memory of the Afghan people for a long time to come.

From here emerges the responsibility of the international community, human rights organizations, and humanitarian agencies to condemn these crimes and work to prevent their recurrence, rather than being content with silence which encourages aggressors to continue their violations as has happened in the past.

These airstrikes have once again proven that the first victims of wars and military policies are the peoples and innocent civilians. While Afghanistan looked forward to establishing security, stability, and rebuilding what decades of conflict had destroyed, these attacks add a new chapter of suffering to a long record of pain.

The question will remain present before the world: What fault was there in the children who were killed under the rubble of their homes? And what danger did they pose that their houses should be targeted by bombardment? These are questions rockets cannot answer, but they will haunt those responsible for this crime and reveal the truth of what transpired on that bloody dawn.

أطفال أفغانستان تحت القصف.. النظام العسكري الباكستاني يضيف مجزرة جديدة إلى سجل انتهاكاته

#إذاعة_الحرية #أفغانستان #باكستان

لم يكن فجر هذا اليوم مختلفًا عن غيره بالنسبة لعشرات العائلات الأفغانية في ولايات خوست وكونر وبكتيكا، فقد كان الجميع نائمين في منازلهم البسيطة، قبل أن تمزق الطائرات الحربية الباكستانية سكون الليل وتحوّل البيوت الآمنة إلى أنقاض، وتحوّل أحلام الأطفال إلى دماء وأشلاء.

ففي جريمة جديدة تهز الضمير الإنساني، شنّ النظام العسكري الباكستاني غارات جوية غادرة استهدفت مناطق مدنية داخل الأراضي الأفغانية، ما أسفر، بحسب المتحدث باسم إمارة أفغانستان الإسلامية المولوي ذبيح الله مجاهد، عن استشهاد 13 مدنيًا وإصابة 14 آخرين. والأكثر إيلامًا أن غالبية الضحايا كانوا من الفئات الأضعف والأكثر براءة؛ إذ ضمت قائمة الشهداء أحد عشر طفلًا وامرأة ومسنًا، فيما كان بين الجرحى أيضًا عدد من النساء والأطفال.

الصور القادمة من مديرية سبيرة بولاية خوست لا تحتاج إلى كثير من الشرح، فجثامين أطفال تُحمل من بين الركام، ومنازل مدمرة، وأمهات يودعن أبناءهن الذين قضوا تحت سقوف بيوتهم، إنها مشاهد تختصر حجم المأساة وتكشف حقيقة الأهداف التي طالتها الغارات؛ فالقنابل لم تسقط على مواقع عسكرية أو ساحات قتال، بل سقطت على منازل مدنيين لا يملكون سوى حقهم في الحياة.

إن استهداف المدنيين العزل،

Between Afghanistan and Pakistan: who is the loser from the complete closure between the two countries?

The toll of 7 months and 28 days: How much has Pakistan lost, and why?

After 239 days of border closures with #Afghanistan, #Pakistan has incurred significant economic losses estimated at approximately $1.4 billion, with a decline in trade and transit traffic to Central Asia due to the recent policies adopted by the Pakistani military regime.

In contrast, Afghanistan has continued its commercial activity steadily and productively, succeeding in diversifying its trading partners and markets, without signs of a food crisis or shortages in basic necessities.

بين أفغانستان وباكستان؛ من الخاسر من الإغلاق التام بين البلدين؟

حصيلة 7 أشهر و28 يوما: كم خسرت باكستان ولماذا؟

بعد 239 يوما من إغلاق المعابر مع #أفغانستان، تكبدت #باكستان خسائر اقتصادية كبيرة قُدرت بنحو 1.4 مليار دولار، مع تراجع التجارة وحركة العبور نحو آسيا الوسطى بسبب السياسات الأخيرة التي انتهجها النظام العسكري الباكستاني.

وفي المقابل، واصلت أفغانستان نشاطها التجاري بصورة مستقرة ومثمرة، ونجحت في تنويع شركائها وبدائلها التجارية والاقتصادية وأسواقها، دون ظهور مؤشرات على أزمة غذائية أو نقص في الاحتياجات الأساسية.

This is part of the reason Trump wanted USAID shut down.

Because some media it funded like Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty were exposing the pro-Russia corruption of his friends like Viktor Orbán in Hungary.

Whatever Trumpists think ”liberty” means these days, it clearly doesn’t involve small countries fighting back against larger, nuclear armed, ones.
