ISLAMABAD: Chairman Institute of Research and Reforms (IRR) Senator A. Rehman Malik urged US President Joe Biden and world powers to play their role in bringing peace in Afghanistan to win the hearts and minds of Afghans in particular and the world in general.
He suggested that US President should devise a pragmatic exit strategy to stop further bloodshed in Afghanistan where the USA forces have already started vacating Bagram Air Base being handed over to Afghan forces.
In an open letter to US President Joe Biden, he said that if the world powers do not converge on one point of bringing peace to Afghanistan, then he sees Taliban marching towards Kabul and every passing day will become dangerous for the anti-Taliban and non-Taliban government and the Afghan society.
He urges him to convert the tragedy of Afghanistan into happiness and enable the Afghan future generation to live their lives their way and not under the fears of roaring guns.
Rehman Malik said that Kabul is likely to be vacated by diplomats and other foreigners out of fear which is very alarming and peace could be restored only by urgent initiatives of world powers particularly the USA.
