For the first time in Afghanistan’s riotous 50-year history of revolutions, longstanding enemies have extended their condolences over the martyrdom of Khalilur Rehman Haqqani, the Taliban minister for refugees, to one another without any vested interests.
The condolence of eminent afghan leaders in Kabul, capital of Afghanistan with Sirajuddin Haqqani, Taliban minister for interior and nephew of martyred Khalilur Rehman Haqqani gestured a rare moment of coexistence amidst decades of conflict.
Among the renowned afghan leaders who expressed condolence are Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, founder and leader of the Hezb-e-Islami, Hamid Karzai, former Aghan President backed by the United States (US) and Pacha Khan Zadran, militia leader and a politician in the southeast of Afghanistan.
Pacha Khan Zadran played a role in driving the Taliban from Paktia province in the 2001 invasion, with American backing.
This gesture by longstanding rivals not only showcases the coexistence but also reflects the cultural and ethical history of Afghanistan.
