Pak-Afghan War: What is Happening and What is the real Story behind?

Must read

The towering flames visible in the image in the following are not from the Iran-Israel war nor from Gaza, but from a hospital in Kabul where hundreds of innocent people were reportedly killed in Pakistan’s airstrikes. Dajjali forces have imposed a horrific war upon Afghanistan through the subservient and “purchased” authorities of Pakistan.

On one side, America and Israel have imposed war upon Iran in order to bring the project of “Greater Israel” to its ultimate completion; on the other side, the rulers and military establishment of Pakistan, busy licking the boots of these very Dajjali powers, are occupied with entangling the Afghans in conflict and crushing Islamic resistance movements. All of this is being done so that Zionist powers may easily play their “Great Game” in the Middle East.

According to reports, a barbaric attack was carried out on a hospital in Kabul by Pakistan’s Trump-aligned and Zionist-aligned establishment, resulting in reports of hundreds of deaths. This tragedy occurred precisely during the sacred and blessed hours of Ramadan. According to Afghan officials, nearly 400 people were killed in this attack on the Kabul hospital.

According to analysts, America, with the help of its obedient Pakistani authorities, imposed war upon Afghanistan specifically to keep the Taliban away from the Israeli-Iran conflict. This is because before the recent tensions in the Middle East and reports of possible American and Israeli attacks on Iran, a significant statement had emerged from the Afghan Taliban regarding Iran. In an interview, Afghan Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid stated that if America attacks Iran, Afghanistan could stand alongside Iran. He said:

“If America attacks Iran and Iran seeks our help, the Afghan people can cooperate with Iran.”

In the same discussion, he further stated that the Taliban do not seek war, but if such a situation arises, Afghanistan could stand beside the people of Iran. His words were:

“We do not want war, but if Iran is attacked, Afghanistan can stand with the people of Iran and help them in the difficulties they face.”

These are the very Pakistani generals and establishment figures who, on one hand, demand a Nobel Peace Prize for Trump, while on the other hand, leave their own Muslim brothers to be slaughtered and destroyed.

Now the question arises: What is the actual root cause behind this entire conflict?

Let us first try to understand the background. In reality, this issue is linked to the growing border tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan. In recent years, these tensions have manifested through border clashes, airstrikes, and retaliatory attacks. Pakistan claims that suspected Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants carry out attacks inside Pakistan from Afghan territory, on this basis, Pakistan launched airstrikes in Afghanistan’s border regions. The Afghan Taliban government declared these attacks a blatant violation of its sovereignty and responded accordingly, after which intense border clashes erupted in areas such as Torkham, Chaman, Khost, and Paktika.

In the context of the growing tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, the actual toll of this conflict has reached tragic proportions, far exceeding earlier estimates. According to the latest UNAMA reports as of May 13, 2026, the escalation that began in October 2025 initially resulted in over 500 civilian casualties, including 47 killed and 456 injured during that month alone. This violence intensified following the launch of so called “Operation Ghazab al-Haq”  by Pak on February 26, 2026, which led to at least 372 civilian deaths and 397 injuries in just the first three months of the year, with verified victims including 72 women and 143 children. The most devastating single event occurred on March 16, 2026, when airstrikes on the Omid Rehabilitation Hospital in Kabul left at least 269 dead and 122 injured according to UN verification, though Afghan authorities place the toll as high as 411 deaths. Military claims also continue to clash, with Pakistan reporting over 450 militants neutralized since February, while Afghan officials claim that 120 Pakistani security personnel have been killed or wounded in retaliatory actions. As of today, the humanitarian crisis has deepened with more than 115,000 civilians displaced along the border regions of Kunar, Paktika, and Khost, illustrating the immense price being paid by the common people in this ongoing struggle.

Even India, despite its own geopolitical interests, condemned Pakistan’s attacks on Afghanistan, supported Afghanistan’s sovereignty, and stated that cross-border attacks are dangerous for regional peace.

But one fundamental reality must be remembered, in such wars, there are no true victors. Destruction occurs on both sides, and the greatest price is always paid by ordinary people. In the end, conflict between two Muslim countries only harms the Muslim Ummah itself. Despite this, a loud narrative is being promoted in Pakistan claiming that Afghans are ungrateful and that they have turned against the very country that helped them the most. It is even said mockingly: “The cat meows against its own owner.”

But look honestly into the mirror of history. As far as “favour” is concerned, the truth is that the Pakistani establishment extracted an enormous price from the Afghans for that so-called favour. It is true that during the Afghan resistance against the Soviet Union, Pakistan—under the rule of Zia-ul-Haq—provided assistance. But Pakistan was not alone in that war. Western capitalist countries and Arab states were also participants because, at that time, communist Russia was considered the greatest enemy of the global capitalist order. That is why massive financial and military aid was channeled through Pakistan to support the Afghan resistance against Russia.

But once the Afghan Mujahideen expelled Russia from Afghanistan, the objectives of the global powers had been fulfilled. Afterward, instead of handing power to those who were genuinely deserving of it, efforts were made to install preferred puppets into power, thereby pushing Afghanistan into a horrific civil war. Later, when the Taliban—students from the madrasas—took control and succeeded in ending much of the civil war, this same establishment was among the first to support them, hoping that these simple-minded clerics could easily be controlled. But contrary to expectations, they proved to be far more independent and hardline.

Thus, when the American war began, it was this very same country that first offered America its land and military cooperation against those same Taliban. The very country that had opened the Taliban’s embassy and recognized their first ambassador later became America’s greatest ally. The Taliban’s first ambassador was abducted and handed over to America, and several major Taliban leaders were deceitfully captured and delivered into American custody.

Today, Pakistan takes great pride in being a nuclear power, but the reality is that even during General Musharraf’s era according to sources, it had already come under American supervision. Using Pakistani territory, America carried out carpet bombings and airstrikes against Afghanistan for 20 years. During this period, millions were displaced and tens of thousands of innocent civilians were killed, while Pakistan’s establishment openly assisted in all of it.

When the Taliban regained power after a prolonged war, this same Pakistani establishment still sought to impose its will upon Afghanistan. This is the same establishment that does not allow Islamic and righteous persens and forces to come to power within its own country either. For a long time, Pakistan has remained under the influence of a secular and liberal establishment in which feudal lords, tribal elites, and capitalist classes preserve their dominance. Even in regions such as Balochistan, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, reports continually emerge of oppression and targeted killings against their own people, because for this establishment, the real priority has always been the preservation of power and interests.

Within this background, several fundamental questions arise.

  • Who first supplied weapons to the Afghans for resistance against Russia?

  • Who fueled the civil war?

  • Who attempted to place their preferred puppets into power?

  • And who was the first to support the Taliban?

Historically, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and the tribal border regions enjoyed considerable autonomy even during the era of undivided India. That is why Muhammad Ali Jinnah preserved their traditions, their weapons, considered an adornment for men there, and their tribal autonomy, while avoiding the imposition of forced laws upon them.

But today’s America-aligned Pakistani establishment is trying to destroy the traditions of these tribal regions and disarm them, which is producing a dangerous backlash. Although tribal systems should be reformed with wisdom, caution, and gradualism, not through brute force at the command of foreign powers. Otherwise, such oppressive measures may one day lead to the further fragmentation of Pakistan itself.

The reality is that modern colonial powers often use the rulers and military leaderships of Muslim countries to preserve divisions within the Muslim Ummah. They fire their guns from the shoulders of these rulers so that Muslims remain trapped fighting amongst themselves. But tragically, certain circles within Pakistan, intoxicated by extreme nationalism, are even justifying throwing Afghanistan into fire and bloodshed, despite the sacred month of Ramadan being underway.

Ethnic, linguistic, and regional identities have now been elevated above Islam itself. Identities such as Pakistani, Afghan, Pashtun, Baloch, Sindhi, Punjabi, and Bengali have been turned against one another. All of this is, in reality, a manifestation of modern Jahiliyyah. The Dajjali and colonial forces remain united everywhere, but sadly, the greatest instruments being used to divide the Muslim Ummah are these very Western-aligned Muslim rulers and their generals.
