The deputy commander of the 201st Khalid bin Walid Corps of the Taliban has issued a warning to Pakistanis, stating that their territory should not be used for actions against Afghanistan, promising a response if such actions occur.
Abdul Hakim Nezami, deputy commander of the Taliban’s 201st Khalid bin Walid Corps, has urged residents of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to ensure that their areas are not used for anti-Afghan activities. Speaking at a ceremony marking the fifth anniversary of the Taliban’s return to power, he cautioned the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa against allowing opposition activities to flourish in their regions.
Nezami emphasized that any action from Pakistani soil against Afghanistan will provoke a military response from the Taliban, including air and ground operations. He also noted that individuals establishing centers for anti-Afghan activities in Pakistan will be targeted, with those facilities dismantled.
Abdul Hakim Nezami warned that the patience of the Afghan government is wearing thin due to Pakistan’s actions. He asserted that the Taliban will not remain silent in the face of any aggression against Afghanistan and are always prepared to defend their country.
Previously, Zabihullah Mujahid, a senior spokesman for the Taliban government, accused Pakistan of harboring several opponents of the Afghan government and attempting to establish safe havens and centers for them.
During the ceremony, Abdul Hakim Nezami emphasized that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa should stand firm against the use of their land for actions against Afghanistan and not allow the Pakistani government to disrupt the current security and order in Afghanistan.
