SPENTA FINAL    _12_09_14_DARI_SOT.avi_snapshot_00.34_[2014.12.10_10.41.04] Afghanistan previous National Security Advisor, Rangin Dadfar Spanta intensively criticized the United States for handing over a senior Pakistani Taliban Leader, Latifullah Mahsoud to Pakistan and called it an explicit violation of Afghanistan sovereignty. During a special interview with Ariana News Dr. Spanta said,” The U.S. military forces did not arrest Mahsoud during an operation against terror authorized by the UN Security Council, but they have taken him from Afghan government, Latifullah Mahsoud was supposed to be perpetrated and punished according to Afghan Law, if a third country (United States of America) handing Mahsoud over to Pakistan without Afghan Government permission, it is an explicit violation of Afghanistan sovereignty and against International Laws and Regulations.” He emphasized that there are ambiguities regarding the U.S. fight against terrorists in Afghanistan during the last 13 years because they did not struggle to fight against terrorist as they were supposed to do. “There is a serious ambiguity in the U.S. strategy to fight against terrorism which was a big matter of disagreement between Afghan government and the United States, The U.S. Government cannot distinguish or do not want to recognize the enemy or who is supporting the terrorists,” Spanta added. Furthermore, he believes Afghan Security Forces have a high spirit and they are able to defend their country, but they need advanced military equipment to defeat terrorist to conquer their goals. These statements come after Latifullah Mahsoud was surrendered to Pakistan by American forces without Afghan government being informed. Latifullah had served as the deputy of the TTP chief Hakimullah Mehsood who was killed on a US airstrikes until he was arrested by Afghan Security Forces in Logar an eastern province in Afghanistan and recently handed over to Pakistan along with two other TTP men on Saturday.

Eight Afghan migrants died after a speedboat carrying migrants capsized off Greece's eastern island of Rhodes on Friday, the Associated Press reported.

Greek authorities said that the capsizing was the result of the boat’s maneuvering to evade a patrol vessel.

A total of 18 migrants — 12 men, three women and three minors — all Afghan nationals, were rescued, Greece's coast guard said Saturday. The dead were also from Afghanistan, it said.

Some migrants remained hospitalized, with one in critical condition, authorities said.

Two Turkish citizens, ages 23 and 19, were arrested as the suspected traffickers. The boat sank after capsizing, the coast guard said.

The sinking off Rhodes was the second deadly incident involving migrants in the past week.

Seven migrants were killed and dozens were believed missing after a boat partially sank south of the island of Crete over the weekend — one of four rescue operations during which more than 200 migrants were rescued.

The Norwegian Chargé d’Affaires for Afghanistan, Per Albert Ilsaas, on Saturday met with IEA’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs, Sher Muhammad Abbas Stanikzai, in Kabul.

Welcoming the diplomat’s visit to Kabul, Stanikzai underscored the importance of political relations between Afghanistan and Norway, the foreign ministry said in a statement.

In addition to focusing on bilateral political, humanitarian, and other pertinent issues, the two sides expressed hope that continued engagement would lead to constructive solutions to related issues.

This comes two weeks after the Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abdul Qahar Balkhi expressed disappointment regarding the decision by the Norwegian government to downgrade diplomatic relations with Afghanistan.

Balkhi said in a post on X that such decisions should not be linked with internal affairs of other countries.

“Diplomatic engagement is most effective when it fosters mutual understanding and respect, even amidst differing viewpoints,” he stated.

“Access to consular services is a fundamental right of all nationals. We strongly urge all parties to prioritize this principle in the spirit of international cooperation,” he added.
