Zalmay Khalilzad, former U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan, condemned last night's Pakistani airstrikes on Afghanistan that resulted in civilian casualties and destruction of KAM Air's fuel reserves. He called this action unacceptable and counterproductive.
Khalilzad wrote on social media platform X that he condemns this aggression in the strongest terms and questioned whether Pakistan's ruling structure is capable of responsible leadership.
He emphasized that Islamabad must immediately de-escalate tensions and turn to negotiations, otherwise Afghans are likely to respond, which would result in an escalation of the crisis and greater suffering in both countries. #Afghanistan #Pakistan #Zalmay\_Khalilzad #Airstrikes
