Thank you. If the fact that Pakhtun tribes have fought in every war for Pakistan was not enough, we continue to maintain the territorial integrity of Pakistan.

I have always called for the empowerment of the tribes: Give the Wazirs, Afridis, Mohmands the necessary firepower and its all over…of course we know that won’t happen because of the bigger game that Islamabad is playing. The word cannon fodder comes to mind.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not bitter, still proud to be Pakistani.

Didn’t some tribes in FATA used to have seats in the afghan loya jirga (pre-eighties) and get money from both Pakistan and afghanistan? Wazirs, for example, are in both pakistan and afghanistan so i think they would be less inclined to fight over the border.

You have to remember that unlike the popular narrative of afridis fighting in kashmir, for better or worse since their unorganized ways lost us srinagar, there was a minor rebellion by the afridis? near the border with afghanistan so much so that the nascent PAF couldn’t be deployed in kashmir.
