Kabul Times News – May 10, 2026
Following the recent statements by Maria Sultan, a figure associated with strategic studies circles in Islamabad, Pakistan, regarding the possibility of “erasing Afghanistan from the world map”, some Afghan human rights activists have reacted strongly, calling these remarks a “serious alarm bell” for all Afghans.
, a human rights activist based in Germany, has said that such a view is being openly expressed by someone close to Pakistan’s strategic circles; an issue that has raised widespread concerns among Afghanistan’s political and social elites.
Referring to recent meetings held in Islamabad, which were attended by some figures opposed to the Taliban, human rights activists have raised questions about the objectives behind these gatherings. They believe that these developments could be a sign of hidden scenarios for the future of Afghanistan.
, a human rights activist, emphasizes that ethnic divisions and the weakening of national identity pave the way for foreign intervention and even the disintegration of the country. He considers this process “part of a dangerous plan.”
Political analysts have called on all Afghans to put aside ethnic and political differences and unite to preserve the territorial integrity and national identity of their country.
