Afghan War has domestic Root: Senior Pakistani Gen

Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC) General Zubair Mahmood Hayat has said that solutions of Afghanistan’s problems lie within Afghanistan and there is no military solution to the problems of Afghanistan.
Addressing to a gathering in London, which was also attended by senior military officers of the British armed forces and members of defense think-tanks, General Zubair Mahmood Hayat said: “There is no military solution to the problems of Afghanistan as ‘outside strategies are unlikely to yield any positive results.’ The news International reported.
“Instability and war in Afghanistan has brought great destruction inside Pakistan. The fact remains that the problem lies inside Afghanistan between two opposing forces “and therefore the solution lies inside Afghanistan,” Gen. Hayat said.
“Without naming or mentioning any country or the individual, General Zubair Mahmood Hayat said that “you cannot blame a country, an individual or a country and an institution for the failures that are collective,” he added.
“There are no military solutions to problems of Afghanistan and Pakistan will continue to work hard for peace in Afghanistan. Pakistan has tried and will try its best to partner with all forces towards reconciliation between various factions so that there is peace and stability inside Afghanistan,” he further said.
“A peaceful and stable Afghanistan is in the best interest of Pakistan but you cannot have a peaceful Afghanistan ‘if you implant foreign powers which are not contiguous to Afghanistan or try and deploy a level of force’ which actually is counter to the requirements of reconciliation,” Gen. Hayat stressed.
Addressing the international community, General Zubair Mahmood Hayat said: “any help to Pakistan for its efforts is welcome but said trust is the most important relation.”
