US had realized during its war against Afghanistan that it was actually comprised of one war in two countries which were integrated with each other due to religious, linguistic, ethnic and cultural ties.
Historically, they had been part of the same Muslim Empire for hundreds of years and even before the Muslims there were Hindu Empires spanning across these two countries.
Now that the Taliban have defeated the Americans, we should have a peace deal with the TTP and raise new units like the French Foreign Legion comprised of former TTP soldiers for foreign (infantry and guerrilla) wars.
I have heard that Napoleon Bonaparte utilized the San Clout revolutionaries who brought about the French Revolution in his foreign wars.

We should try to create a Confederation with Afghanistan in the same way China created One Country, Two Systems after getting Hong Kong back from Britain after a hundred years of occupation.
It was the policy of Great Britain to sever the overland Silk Road Trade of India with the Central Asia and Russia as Britain was a Sea Power and wanted trade through its ships.
Now we can resume the overland trade with the success of CPEC project of China. We have recently signed the Gas Pipeline project with Russia. We have successfully established train link with Turkey through Iran. A Chinese train brought the goods meant for Afghanistan to a neighbouring Central Asian State for onward dispatch by road.

This year we got cheap high quality Pomegranate and Grapes from Afghanistan.
Our PIA and Airforce technicians can very easily manage the airports of Afghanistan.
Afghan Brothers and Sisters are welcome to join Pakistan anytime.
Pakistan already has the same ethnic groups, plus nearly 4 million refugees, that's 10% of Afghans already living in Pakistan.
Here is a solution.
The Joint capital, Islamabad,
Jinnah to remain father of the nation.
EVERYTHING else is negotiable, everything.
We can introduce a black border or a black stripe in the flag to merge the two flags.
We can change the provincial numbers so the Afghans have good representation in the senate.
And, we can introduce a measure so that for at least 20 years
the deputy prime minister is an Afghan
new post of vice president to be filled by an Afghan
either the speaker or deputy speaker and chairmen or deputy in the parliament to be Afghan.
Including other measure,
But, the Afghans must stop the infighting first.
except for the first two points, everything else is negotiable.
We can even accept Farsi as a joint national language with Urdu, they are already very similar.
