Pakistan's Dual Water Crisis: India Suspends IWT, Taliban Diverts Kunar River

• Impoverished Pakistan faces a dual water crisis from actions by India and Afghanistan.
• India suspended the Indus Water Treaty (IWT) with Pakistan after the Pahalgam terrorist attack.
• The Taliban regime plans to build a dam on the Kunar River, diverting its waters to Nangarhar province.
• This diversion will severely worsen Pakistan's water shortage, impacting irrigation, drinking water, and hydropower in Chitral and lower regions.
• Taliban asserts its sovereign right as an upper riparian country to use water for internal development and food security.
