Hamid Karzai, the former president of Afghanistan, condemned Pakistan’s recent attacks on targets in Afghanistan, including the Syed Jamaluddin Afghan University in Kunar, stating that he views these attacks as “part of Pakistan’s policy to destroy the roots of education and development in Afghanistan.”
In a message posted on his X account, Mr. Karzai noted that previous attacks by Pakistan had already deprived students in the village of “Brekot” in the Nari district of Kunar province of their education.
The former president emphasized: “I urge the United Nations to seriously investigate, condemn, and promptly stop Pakistan’s military attacks on our people, land, and national facilities.”
It is worth mentioning that local officials of the caretaker government in Kunar province have confirmed that Pakistan targeted the university in this province and other sites in its center and some districts with rocket attacks.
Local officials reported that at least seven people were killed and 75 others, including 30 students, were injured in these attacks.
The Ministry of Higher Education also confirmed the attack on Kunar University, stating that it caused extensive damage to the building and environment of the university.
As of now, the identities and genders of the victims and the injured have not been disclosed.
This comes as border clashes between the two sides have continued for two months. However, the intensity of these clashes has decreased in recent days.
The United Nations had reported that more than 70 civilians had lost their lives in the first two weeks of border clashes in eastern Afghanistan.
