💨 Abstract

The Torkham border between Pakistan and Afghanistan reopened on March 19 after 27 days of closure due to a dispute over a border post construction. The closure caused significant hardships for businesses, leaving 12,000 cargo trucks stranded on both sides. The reopening followed successful negotiations between jirga members from both countries and an agreed immediate ceasefire till April 15.
