After India, Taliban-led Afghanistan is also preparing to cut off water to Pakistan!

International News: After India, now the Taliban government of Afghanistan is also planning to stop water to Pakistan. Afghanistan wants to stop the water flow going to Pakistan by building a dam on its rivers. This step has come up at a time when India has increased this tension further amid reports of suspending the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan.

This claim has been made by Baloch writer and activist Mir Yab Baloch on social media. He has described it as the beginning of a serious crisis for Pakistan. Mir Yab wrote in his post, "After India, now Afghanistan is also preparing to build dams to stop the water flowing into Pakistan. It is the beginning of the end of Pakistan."

Although Afghan or Pakistani officials have not officially confirmed the claim, regional tension over the river water resources is continuously increasing.

Taliban officer's visit and dam construction plan

According to Mir Yab, General Mubeen, senior military officer of the Taliban, visited the Kunar area of ​​East Afghanistan and inspected the potential dam site. He urged the Afghan government to build several dams and gather the necessary funding for them to prevent the water flow from going to Pakistan. Mir Yab has also shared a video of the Taliban leader in this regard.

This water is like our blood; it is necessary to stop

General Mubin said, "This water is like our blood, and we will not let our blood flow." We have to stop water so that our electricity needs can be met and our agriculture can become strong." The Kunar River, which is a tributary of the Kabul River, flows from Afghanistan to Pakistan and is the main water source for regional agriculture.

New crisis for Pakistan

This plan of Afghanistan came at a time when India suspended the Indus Water Treaty after the Pahalgam attack in April. Pakistan was worried even before India stopped water, and now Afghanistan's move to stop water can make its situation more serious. Keep in mind that the Indus Water Treaty is in force between India and Pakistan in 1960, but there is no official agreement between Afghanistan and Pakistan on river water.

This increasing water crisis can create new challenges for security and diplomacy in the South Asian region. Such disputes over water resources may affect the regional stability.
