It's a whole book. Thanks for sharing. Although the position of cities on the front page look a bit off.
That's what international diplomacy and aid is about. I can understand your feeling about the money being better spent in Pakistan, and it's the same argument that you will hear from people in India, the US or UK or any other aid donor.
Where we are really lagging is the media. In Afghanistan we have a huge market for Indian movies in alot of those films Pakistan and it's armed forces are portrayed as the bad guys, when people consume such content day in day out, it's bond to have some effect. So we need to focus more on publications like the one you shared and also have TV, film and radio programs showing the contribution of Pakistan and the shared values we have.
Pakistan has the great advantage of shared religion, culture and language (Urdu is influenced by Persian which Dari is a form of + Pukhtoo which is spoken on both sides of the border). So Pakistan should have the greatest media presence in Afghanistan but we have left that space for others to fill and then we don't like it's end result.
