33 jili PML-N committed to strengthening coalition with PPP: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Senator Talal ChaudhryIn recent years, Afghanistan has been not only a battleground for war and political conflicts but also a stage for silent disasters that, under the shadow of government neglect, societal indifference, and even the inaction of international organizations, have claimed heavy human tolls. These disasters, manifesting as traffic accidents, mine collapses, and silent killings, claim more victims every day. Yet, no matter how frequent or devastating these events may be, they fail to provoke collective outrage within Afghan society. It seems such deaths, just as insignificant to the ruling regime, hold little importance for the community as well. One of the most significant examples of this “silent tragedy” is traffic accidents, which have become an unending nightmare for the people of Afghanistan. In a recent incident in Ghazni province, two fatal collisions occurred within just an hour. These accidents left over 100 casualties. Initially, the Taliban reported 52 deaths, but later it was revealed that at least 12 injured individuals also succumbed to their injuries. Such incidents are preventable, but due to disregard for people’s lives, no one or organization takes any action. The causes of these tragedies are well known, and addressing them is not impossible. Substandard roads, lack of enforcement of traffic regulations, and inadequate rescue and emergency services have normalized these deaths as part of daily life. These problems, however, are not unique to the current Taliban regime; they persisted during the republican era without any serious efforts to address them. While the current Taliban regime claims complete control over the country, it has failed even to manage the most basic aspects of public safety and welfare. Amidst this, the irrational competition among passenger transport companies is a significant cause of traffic accidents. It is said that some of these companies reward drivers who reach their destinations ahead of schedule. Moreover, many drivers are reportedly under the influence of drugs, including cannabis, while driving. The author has personally witnessed this alarming situation. The competition among bus drivers for winning quick transport prizes, coupled with the fact that many of them drive under the influence of narcotics, has turned Afghanistan’s pothole-ridden roads into deadly paths. On the other hand, mine collapses represent another aspect of this silent tragedy. Afghanistan’s mines, often exploited illegally and without adherence to even the minimum safety standards, have become graveyards for workers risking their lives to provide for their families. The recent incident at a mine in Herat province, which resulted in one death, and the entrapment of 35 individuals in a mine in Samangan, are mere examples of the chronic neglect by governments and regimes regarding worker safety and rights. The lack of rescue equipment, weak oversight, and unrestrained exploitation of natural resources have made such incidents repetitive and seemingly inevitable. However, the dimensions of this tragedy do not end here. Alongside these incidents, killings carried out under the guise of “unknown individuals” constitute another facet of this humanitarian disaster. In many cases, these so-called unknown gunmen are none other than Taliban fighters who commit murders for various reasons. The victims of such killings include women, men, and even innocent children who are either targeted for political reasons or fall victim to local hostilities and abuses of power. Despite the constant flow of news about the murder of innocent people, there is no visible reaction from society, the Taliban regime, or even international monitoring organizations. This silence in the face of these killings provides implicit legitimacy to the Taliban and other perpetrators of violence, paving the way for the continuation of such atrocities. This negligence perpetuates the vicious cycle of these killings and tragedies, with no measures being taken to prevent them. Public Indifference And The Negligence Of Rulers In The Face Of These Dormant Tragedies not only endanger human lives but also highlight a profound crisis in social and political accountability in Afghanistan. Whether during the era of the republic or under the current Taliban rule, ineffective governance and a lack of commitment to human lives have normalized these preventable deaths. Such tragedies have become a routine part of daily life. Even large-scale incidents, such as the recent road accidents in Ghazni, fail to elicit public outrage and are accepted as ordinary events. These silent disasters will persist until governments, society, and international organizations take their responsibilities toward these tragedies seriously and replace their silence with sustainable and practical actions. A future where human lives are valued beyond political games and personal interests remains a distant vision on Afghanistan’s horizon.

On the heels of their first Eastern Conference Finals appearance since 2014, the Pacers are in an early-season slump, as they've dropped three games in a row and five of six. Life on the road has been unkind to Indiana, which has started the season 2-8 away from Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Pacers, who begin a four-game homestand on Sunday, are coming off an 0-3 road trip, most recently falling to the Milwaukee Bucks 129-117 on Friday. Pascal Siakam's 25 points and Bennedict Mathurin's 20 weren't enough, as Giannis Antetokounmpo posted a triple-double with 37 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists for the Bucks, who never trailed. "I thought it was one of our most competitive games," Indiana head coach Rick Carlisle said. "We were up against it a lot of the night in terms of the scoring deficit, but the guys really were together. They kept fighting. We made some great runs in the second half, and it's something to build on, as tough as it's been. The important thing now is to keep working on our health and to have a big week back at home." Indiana's barrage of early-season injuries include forward Isaiah Jackson and center James Wiseman's season-ending Achilles tears. Aaron Nesmith (ankle), who averages 9.2 points per game, Andrew Nembhard (knee), who chips in 7.3, and Ben Sheppard (oblique), who adds 5.8, are all out for the Pacers. Siakam's 20.8 points per game lead the Pacers, followed by Mathurin's 18.9. Unlike Indiana, the Wizards entered the year projected to struggle mightily again. A season ago, Washington slugged through a franchise-worst 15-67 campaign. Through 14 games this season, the team is trending toward the league's basement again. On a 10-game losing streak, the Wizards haven't won since Oct. 30, a 133-120 home victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Last time out, Washington battled as a major underdog with the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics, before ultimately falling at home Friday, 108-96. The Wizards led by two at halftime and trailed by just four points with three minutes left. Jordan Poole led the way with 23 points, followed by Kyle Kuzma's 21. "Our guys, like I thought they would, came out and brought it," Washington head coach Brian Keefe said. "We were physical, we were committed, we tried to contest everything tonight, and I think I showed what we're capable of. That was a good step forward for our team, but we've got to get back to work tomorrow." The Wizards held Boston to just 42.4 percent shooting from the field (36 of 85) and just a 23.9 percent mark (11 of 46) on 3-pointers. Friday was a sign of improvement from a Washington team that has allowed a league-high 123.5 points per game. "I thought our defense was a lot better tonight," Keefe said. "You have to give Boston credit, they hit some tough shots, but our guys really showed their character." Poole's 21.2 points per game pace Washington, while Kuzma chips in 17.4. --Field Level Media
