EyanKhan Confederation between Pakistan and Afghanistan is better idea then absorbing pashtun portion of it. No matter how much afghanistan is in the ruins, it is cultural and historical reservior of not just pakhtuns but also uzbeks and tajiks who are more cultural and islamic than their russified kinsmen in central asia.
I was watching pashto interview of shahid afridi, he was using so many urdu words like @
Abu Zolfiqar. What kind of fate is awaiting for pakistani pakhtuns, are they going to become irfan pathans in next century?
I pray the Afghan brothers/sisters learn to be one nation; not kill eachother over ethnic differences and not engage in business dealings with war-lords for 'protection' or 'material gain'
Hekmatyar, Mullah Omar, Dostum, Haqqanis, and the Tajiks all need to unite and cooperate with eachother. At the end of the day theyre all Muslims and Afghans. They hold enough influence to stop the bloodshed
and Mr. Pak-One --- you are one of the few people on here who engages in language politics. You are the "Pashtun" version of Altaf Hussain.
Be a human being and a Pakistani first.
p.s. Shahid Afridi brings better name to Pashtun than the shyte-heads like the late Hakimullah Mehsud, and all those other killers of Pakistani people (your people!)
Its not just that, dostum has nothing to offer to pakistan, his links are with central asia and his interests are different. He fought alongside communists against pakistani backed mujahideens.
Hazaras are tied with shia state of iran, they will be eternally loyal to them.
There was chance with tajiks but pakistan unnecessarily antagonized them by favouring hikmatyar excessively while ignoring masood.
our allies (The Turks) have a good relations with the former General Dostum.....the guy is no saint. He has a lot of blood on his hands, but for Turkic reasons - the Turks are close to him, in fact I believe he is living in Turkiye at the moment no?
and yes - Dostum is man of many hats!!!! The Northern Alliance are drug smugglers; it's an inherently anti-Pashtun group. But the Afghan taleban (Islamic Emirate government) of Mullah Omar has made mistakes, they have been stubborn - but I think NATO and international community accepted that he may be key to the reconciliation process
(assuming the West doesnt assasinate him, the way they assasinated Ahmed Shah Massoud -- who despite the fact that relations with him deteriorated after the anti-soviet jihad and subsequent civil war --- he was an Afghan patriot. I have respect for Shah Massoud as one of the greaters warriors/freedom fighters of 1970s/80s
