The Guardian: Afghan president in last-ditch attempt to repair ties with Pakistan
Ashraf Ghani sends top spy, diplomat and defence chief to Islamabad, but warns decisions made in coming weeks will affect bilateral ties for years
The Afghan president, Ashraf Ghani, has sent his top spy, diplomat and defence chief to Pakistan for a last-ditch attempt to rescue a relationship which he once promised would hold the key to peace but now threatens his credibility as a leader.
Ghani invested huge amounts of energy and political capital in repairing ties with Pakistan, a neighbour widely reviled in Afghanistan and often blamed for fomenting war because the Taliban find safe haven in its mountainous border regions and major cities.
WNU Editor: I sometimes wonder if Pakistan is even interested in peace .... that they are doing exactly what Western critics are saying of Putin and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine .... keep in your neighbour in turmoil and divided, and manipulate the situation to your advantage.
