Several Pakistani soldiers were killed after Afghanistan security forces retaliated to unprovoked aggression along Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a Taliban spokesperson reportedly said

However, the clip is seemed to be staged video as the dress, which the two men were wearing, is not the combat uniform of the Pakistani Army. Notably, the Pakistan Army soldiers wear a light-colored camouflage uniform and the men, who were shown as captured Pakistani soldiers, were wearing dark green camouflage dresses.

By the end of the meeting, Field Marshal Munir reportedly left his commanders with a grim warning: the army must “regain control and restore strategic depth before it’s too late.”

Born in Afghanistan, Maiwand Banaye says he was radicalised as a teenager in a refugee camp in Pakistan, after his family fled civil war at home.

The discussion moves to the Gaza peace agreement. Khinvraj says, “If you look at Trump, in this particular instance, he reversed his earlier, reckless proposal that Gaza be ‘wiped out’ and the idea that the people of Gaza didn’t deserve to live there. He achieved this deal through compromise, making what I see as a powerful course correction.”

A day after Taliban leader Amir Khan Muttaqi landed in New Delhi, he came under scrutiny for not letting women into the embassy to cover a press meet he held right after meeting with his Indian counterpart,

The takeover by the Taliban in 2021 was covered extensively, even by our media. It was dramatic, traumatic for those trying to escape and violent. But since that August four years ago, we know next to nothing about the condition of women under a government that makes excluding them part of its policy.
