What's new

Large number of weapons being smuggled into Pakistan from Afghanistan caught at Kurram.

. . .
India can be looking to create another wave of terrorism with the Afghanistan border as it is looking to engage Paksitan on the east. Well done. By defeating terrorism, you defeat India.

Some of Pakistan's political leaders like Moulana Fazal, Achakzai and Asfandyaar are on sale. Fazal, in particular, needs to establish his relevancy so watch what he is doing FATA. Like India, he too is no friend of Paksitan.
 
.
border should be used for import / export through proper channel with proper checks.

Yeah a country needs to act as per its situation. In the current scenario, this border needs to be sealed until afghanistan confirms there is no presence of indians there.
 
. . . . . .
Good news.

But I'm hoping this news was released AFTER the recipients were also tracked and arrested. Otherwise we missed a very good opportunity to get the whole network in Pakistan.

Unless Pakistan moves itself out of its current location there is NOTHING it can do to stop aggression from a hostile neighbor especially who is acting as a proxy. When Soviets were coming to Afghanistan its king reached out exactly because of Soviet covert ops in upsetting the paradigm and change a docile king and instead install a puppet regime... they reached out to Pakistan, even then!

Pakistan backed out and instead had a low level secretary handle the matter, basically shove it under the rug... once Soviets did start using their proxies in Afghanistan to not only pacify the border areas between Pakistan and Afghanistan but also Pashtun areas of Pakistan itself under the guise of a Pashtun nationalist party ... same paradigm was being played in Pakistani Balochistan. King was deposed, anarchy set in ... Pakistan started supporting insurgents in Afghanistan and finally the Soviets themselves poured in... Pakistan fought that war as it's own... Pakistan itself was on stake... all because they didn't have visionaries... Once Soviets left Pakistan left Afghanistan again to be a laboratory for everyone to chime in and basically cause harm to Pakistan itself... today again the same paradigm plays and Pakistan instead of taking ownership is cowering for cover ... building a fence ... which will only stop local non militant groups but those intending harm will only see this as opportunity to exploit. Israel and Egypt haven't been able to seal Gaza for heavens sake!

Keep deluding yourselves and heads under sand!

It is very easy to judge in hindsight.
The fact is Pakistan was a much smaller country at the time, facing hostilities from much bigger and powerful forces on all sides. The Iranian revolution, Soviet invasion, and Indian aggression. Pakistan did the best it could to defend our interests, whilst offering refuge to our Afghan brothers.

The RESULT was, the MIGHTY Soviet Union faced destruction but we survived and grew stronger even after we were left on our own to deal with the mess. And, our Afghan brothers have shown nothing but lack of gratitude. If someone gives you safety at a time of need, you do not curse them and question their motives. You say THANK YOU, you say THANK YOU a million times.

I am angry with the Afghans to the point of hatred, but in my heart, I still feel they are my brothers, but brotherhood is a path that can only be tread upon together. It is their choice if they want my love or indifference.

NOW, we have to look after ourselves, including my Kashmiri brothers and sisters, at the exclusion of everyone and everything else.

sealing border is almost impossible,even developed european nations are unable to seal border and many illegal immigrants enter europe from greece to serbian mountains
This border needs to be sealed.

On the contrary buddy, Pakistan was larger then ... smaller today ... one cannot keep deflecting problems it faces and expect them to correct themselves... it is a sign of lethargy at extreme proportions... laissez faire attitude... hoping against hope that the other foot doesn't drop... call it whatever but Pakistanis have been reactionary and not visionary. Besides you cannot treat one like $#!T and expect gratitude in return either way it is not this reason why Pakistan has bad rapport among Afghans... primarily Pakistan has lost the propaganda war waged against it, in hopes fences will serve the purpose.... WRONG! You do not leave a friend or a potential friend go... especially a neighbor! Pakistan already has an enemy to the east... an uneasy relationship with Iran and potential enemy state of Afghanistan... think about it yourself... Afghans will make do perhaps with Chabahar, what will Pakistan do? Keep animosity cooking on slow burner on all sides? Again hoping against hope that nothing will come to pass?
Understand, what real or perceived grievances Afghans are harboring and assuage them for your own survival and benefit, not to mention simultaneously for Afghans as well...
