While the world moves toward progress and academic competition, Pakistan’s aggressive regime has once again revealed its sinister face by staining its hands with the blood of civilians and academic cadres in Kunar. Specifically, the targeting of “Seyed Jamaluddin Afghani University” in Kunar is not merely a military error; rather, it is part of a systematic and malicious scheme aimed at keeping the Afghan generation illiterate and dismantling the spiritual and intellectual foundations of this nation.
A university is a center for consciousness, enlightenment, and the intellectual reconstruction of society. When Pakistan’s criminal generals target a university, it demonstrates their fear of the intellect of Afghan students and academic cadres. This attack proves that Pakistan’s murderous regime has declared war against the pen and the book in Afghanistan. Students and academic cadres, who are the pillars of the country’s development, becoming victims of such atrocities shows that the aggressors are not seeking regional stability, but are instead striving to spread ignorance and darkness.
The attacks on civilian infrastructure in Kunar demonstrate that this regime cannot tolerate a prosperous and dignified Afghanistan. Civilian facilities, utilized for public services, are protected zones under international human rights and the laws of war. However, Pakistan’s military regime has consistently breached these red lines. This constitutes an overt act of sabotage against the economic and social development of Afghanistan.
From a legal perspective, attacking educational institutions and civilians falls under the category of war crimes. Such actions cannot be justified by any logic, religious teaching, or political equation. A regime that drenches the academic centers of a neighboring country in blood to ensure its own survival is, in fact, signing its own moral and political demise.
Pakistan’s military regime must understand that such attacks will not weaken the resolve of the Afghans, but rather strengthen it further. The blood spilled at the university will spark an awakening that no cannon or tank will ever be able to suppress.
History bears witness that the hands attempting to extinguish the light of knowledge and enlightenment eventually sink into total darkness themselves. This atrocity will not go unanswered; the blood of every martyred student will transform into an unbreakable motivation for freedom and self-sufficiency. We call upon the international community and legal institutions not to remain silent in the face of this blatant aggression by Pakistan. This brutality by the enemies of knowledge must be condemned in the strongest possible terms, and the perpetrators must be held accountable.
