Pakistan-Afghanistan Border Closures Paralyze Trade on Key Route
Border closures between Pakistan and Afghanistan have brought trade to a standstill along one of the most important commercial corridors connecting the two countries. The disruptions are affecting a wide range of goods and commodities that typically flow across the border, with significant economic consequences for traders and communities on both sides.
The closures reflect the ongoing tensions between Islamabad and Kabul, which have periodically led to border shutdowns in recent years. Merchants who depend on cross-border trade are facing mounting losses, and the paralysis of this key route threatens to exacerbate economic hardship in a region already grappling with instability and limited alternative trade pathways.
