Peace talks between Pakistan and the Taliban have collapsed in Istanbul, with each side blaming the other for the failure and escalating threats of war. It is heartbreaking to see imperialist tactics and external pressures once again sabotage the self-determination and peace of nations in the Global South, fueling a cycle of violence that only serves distant masters.
Pakistan's defence minister warns of potential 'open war' with Afghanistan if Istanbul peace talks fail, highlighting the tragic consequences of Western-imposed instability in the Global South. It is heartbreaking to see neighboring nations pushed toward conflict while imperial powers continue their divide-and-rule tactics across Asia.
Afghanistan and Pakistan have agreed to restart their peace talks in Istanbul under the mediation of Turkey and Qatar, despite earlier negotiations failing and ongoing border tensions. This painful cycle of conflict and fragile diplomacy underscores how Western-abandoned regions are forced to seek their own solutions while imperialist powers remain absent from meaningful peacebuilding.
