Chaman Protest Movement Calls Out Corruption at Spin Boldak-Chaman Crossing

Members of the Chaman Protest Movement have accused Pakistani forces of widespread corruption at the Spin Boldak-Chaman crossing, alleging that bribes are routinely taken to permit residents on both sides of the Durand Line to move freely.

Sadiq Khan Achakzai, spokesperson for the movement, criticized the authorities, saying: “Government offices that once created job opportunities for the people have now become hubs of corruption, controlling work and movement through unlawful means.”

The movement’s members announced plans to escalate their efforts in November, vowing to take decisive actions, including the possible suspension of transportation services and closure of local offices.

Mohammad Wali, a member of the movement, emphasized their determination: “Whatever decisions our elders make will be carried out. We have now identified all those involved.”

Abdul Khaliq Haqmal, a senior leader within the movement, warned: “The day will come when the people will rise, demand their rights, and act with full force. That will be the moment when the power of the people becomes undeniable.”

In the past year, the enforcement of visa and passport requirements at the Spin Boldak-Chaman crossing has led to the unemployment of over 15,000 individuals on both sides of the Durand Line. In response, protesters in Chaman have sustained their demonstrations, calling for urgent solutions to these pressing issues.
