It has been for many months that the eastern border routes of Kunar and Nuristan provinces have been under massive shelling by Pakistani army across border. Analyst circles in Afghanistan say that since Pakistan's historic ties with Taliban is a notable issue, the cross-border violence seems to be making the political ties of the states more sensitive and deemed to be promoting the Taliban along the routes.

Although, Pakistan denies the allegation and urges that the terrorism is a common menace for both the neighboring countries. On the other hand, Afghan authorities have been trying to solve the issue in political means and have many times urged Pakistani security authorities to stop such practices on border routes, the cross-border bombardment from Pak-territories still continue.

Islamabad says that the violence is being carried out by Pakistani Taliban fighters sheltering in Afghanistan, whohave infiltrated the border to resume attacks on its security forces and claims that they have been targeting militants who flee from their territory and try to seek a safe haven in Afghanistan.  

Last month in regarding the cross-border violence, Afghan lawmakers in the house dismissed the two key security ministers claiming that they had not been doing their duties effectively. Furthermore, Afghan security authorities warned Pak-authorities of taking similar reactions. But Pak-authorities gave no consideration to the matter which resulted Afghan authorities to take alternative solutions.

Finally, the Interior Minister passed the order of banning Pakistani newspapers in Afghanistan. Afghan Interior Minister believes that the Pakistani newspapers are the sole propaganda source used by Taliban militants in Afghanistan. In addition, the Minister has reasoned that Pakistani newspapers are based on illogical facts which promote violence among the inhabitants along the eastern provinces of the country.

This initiation by Interior Minister might be appreciable but it does not lead the states towards final solutions, because the digital source of propaganda for Taliban militants via internet is still a suitable alternative. Since Taliban have emerged towards using the technology, they have been releasing their violence promoting propagandas via internet not printed media.

Afghan relevant department should also block the digital sources of propaganda of the terrorists but at last it is better to find diplomatic solutions to the cross-border conflicts between the two states.
