Author Job TOLOnews' Reporter Afghanistan The head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars has issued a fatwa calling for an immediate halt to the clashes between Kabul and Islamabad during the holy month of Ramadan.In a statement, he urged the leaders of both countries to stop the fighting before the final ten days of Ramadan.Ali Al-Qaradaghi also proposed that after Eid, talks should begin to resolve the disputes, suggesting that countries such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey could play a mediating role in resolving the crisis.Political analyst Samiullah Ahmadzai said: “The Islamic Emirate has always sought to resolve issues through diplomacy. However, Pakistan has not pursued dialogue through diplomatic channels and has repeatedly violated Afghanistan’s airspace and martyred civilians, forcing the Islamic Emirate to take action in response.”Meanwhile, sources told TOLOnews that forces of Pakistan’s military regime targeted civilian homes with artillery in the Brikhil area of Khost province.According to these sources, in a retaliatory action, Afghan forces attacked a military fort belonging to Pakistan’s military regime in the Ghulam Khan area.The deputy spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate also announced that in Pakistan’s attacks on Friday night and during the day, four civilians were killed in the provinces of Paktia, Paktika, and Khost, while three others were wounded.Military analyst Sadiq Shinwari said: “If these tensions escalate, they will not only negatively affect the stability of both sides but will also have adverse consequences for regional security and stability.”The acting head of Afghanistan’s mission to the United Nations, referring to new UNAMA figures reporting that at least 56 Afghan civilians mostly women and children were killed in Pakistan’s attacks, said such human losses are “unacceptable.”Nasir Ahmad Faiq emphasized that the protection of civilians must be upheld within the framework of international law and without any exceptions.The United Nations has also criticized the targeting of civilians in Pakistan’s attacks.Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for the United Nations, said: “Ultimately, in Afghanistan as well, clashes with Pakistan have claimed the lives of dozens of people. Many of the victims are women and children, and civilian infrastructure has also been damaged, including a hospital in a transit center and facilities at the returnee reception center in Torkham.”This comes as the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) said in a recent report that between February 26 and March 5, 54 civilians were killed and 129 others injured as a result of attacks by Pakistan’s military regime, with women and children accounting for 55 percent of the casualties.
