[🇦🇫] Stanikzai refuses to accept Durand line along with Mulla Mobin

You lot think iran.

Azad bhai zara ghussay ko kam karain. Is forum pe ladies bhi hain. Afghanistan will not accept Durand line until they are invaded by Pakistan and then sign another agreement with Pakistan to accept Durand line. We can do this with neighbouring provinces of Afghanistan.

There is no expiry date on the Afghanistan-British Treaty. This is common knowledge. Hence the Durand Line is the official border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Or Pakistan should annex the whole of Afghanistan to solve the Durand Line issue.

agree but it is painful for Afghans when they remember that Peshawar used to be the winter capital of Afghanistan. Imagine Lahore is given to India after Canada conquers Pakistan and makes an agreement that it will be part of India. This scenario is horrifying but the Durand-line is a controversial subject when you read the history of this region.

If I cut the story into 2 paragraphs, Ahmed Shah Abdali founded Afghanistan and it was founded on the geography of Afghanistan, Peshawar and parts of Balochistan. Abdali attacked Punjab several times but Ranjeet Singh managed to defend himself each time. He later on occupied Peshawar to create a buffer zone between Punjab and Afghanistan. So if Afghans come to fight again, they fight in this region rather than ruining everything in Punjab. The British came and took over Punjab in 1840-50s and then Peshawar naturally fell to them. The Afghans in the hope to regain Peshawar fought with the British at least 3 times but they lost miserably finally agreeing to surrender Peshawar and declare the Durand line.

Now when the Afghans found an opportunity after the British left, it was their natural desire to recapture the land which once upon a time used to be Afghanistan. Pakistan inherited the land from British and it became the de facto border of Pakistan and Afghanistan. This is one of the reasons why Afghanistan did not recognise Pakistan at the time of independence. It's a long and complicated history and I am not saying that Afghanistan have any right on this land of Pakistan but I am telling the Afghans perspective.

My 2 cents

More than 120k Pakistani citizens are dead including tens of thousands of our soldiers, mostly in KPK. The Afghani won't back down. We know this. They'll keep on killing our citizens. They are really a curse upon us. We are spending the majority of our security expenditure on policing FATA/ Waziristan/ Bajaur since 2001.

You better curse all the Generals ( 1972- Today) who lured ordinary citizens with the carrot of fake strategic depth in Afghanistan and created this mess. If that was not enough, when the Soviets left Afghanistan, they came up with the dangerous Taliban formula. They never learned from history that even the Persians and British never wanted the Afghan territory to be part of their empire for some valid reason. The lesson is run from the Afghans as far as you can; consider it a dangerous virus.
