    Taliban's hydroelectric project sparks tensions with Pakistan over external partnerships

    Taliban's hydroelectric project sparks tensions with Pakistan over external partnerships

    The Taliban's decision to construct a hydroelectric power station on the Kunar River has heightened tensions with Pakistan. Sputnik Afghanistan's report suggests that the involvement of an Indian company in the project, contrary to earlier mentions of a Turkish company, is perceived as a hostile move by Islamabad, signaling potential conflicts in the region.

    Since 2013, Afghanistan and Pakistan had collaborated on a joint hydroelectric power project generating 1,500 megawatts on the Kunar River. The recent shift in dynamics, as indicated by the Taliban's actions, challenges the established cooperation between the two nations.

    Abdul-Latif Mansoor, the Taliban's Minister of Water and Energy, announced their intention to control the flow of water from the Kunar River to Pakistan, adding a new dimension to regional geopolitics. The involvement of external actors, initially suggested to be Turkish but later reported as Indian, introduces complexity and raises questions about regional power dynamics.

    Earlier Daryo reported that the Taliban has announced its firm decision to halt the water flow from the crucial Kunar River, which traverses Afghanistan into Pakistan. Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, asserted this resolute stance, expressing readiness to make sacrifices. He underscored the Taliban government's determination and outlined comprehensive reconstruction plans for Afghanistan.
