All Afghanistanis must Leave Pakistan & return back to Afghanistan...

Re: All Afghanistanis must Leave Pakistan & return back to Afghanistan...

HAHAHA.

Pashtoons are a Pakistani people. No they're not. Their situation is just like that of the Kurds.

The Kurds were suppressed by Turkey and Iraq to such an extent that it seemed they would face extermination. But now the Kurds have a solid base - Iraq - from where they can develop and promote their national identity. Kurdish is now one of the official languages of Iraq, and Kurdistan itself is an independent entity (with its own flag and parliament) in all but name.

the same has happened to the Pakhtoons. They have solid ground in Afghanistan from which to focus on consolidating Pashtoon nationalism. The only reason the Pakhtoons of NWFP haven't risen up against Pakistan is (i) because of Islam, and (ii) because of their close relations with the military elite. but once these bonds disintegrate Pakhtoon nationalism will eventually win.
