And are you seriously claiming north is doing well thanks to it's own budget? Dude, I watch Afghan channels daily and daily I see how Western countries donate north of Afghanistan money and especially Mazar and Herat are getting loads of help. Hazara's indeed did complain that all those roads that have been build in Afghanistan, not even a percent of it has been built in Hazarajat. Please don't ignore that without Western aid north wouldn't have been flourishing like this today. And if Taliban's point is south only then why aren't we saying okay to it? Why is USA stopping them from taking over south? And correct me if I am wrong but isn't Bashardost also supporting removal of Durrand Line? And how did we try to make our relations better with Pashtuns? I am not trying to speak on behalf of Pashtun crimes or whoever, but all I am saying is that our present is in our hands and our future is what we make of it. Right now every ethnic in Afghanistan is equal and everyone has got his say, then why don't we use this opportunity to bring closer all ethnics? As I said, at least we can teach their children so they grow up otherwise, init? I admit that my close friendship with Pashtuns is one of the reasons why I don't want Pashtuns to suffer and want them to get one more chance, but I also refuse to believe they are the sole aggressors. Otherwise they would have been fascists in Pakistan as well. There is no difference between us if we wish them the same as they wished for us, someone has to make a move towards unity and for me Bashardost is an great example of that. We need more people like him.
And I can link sites of things I am talking about, but even you say things I hear for the first time and nor you add any link to it. Karzai killed Khan's son? Ghani stole millions from Swiss bank? Pashto forced on Hazara's? What's that all about?
I don't know which Channels you have been watching. the media has covered this issue for years now and I haven't heard such a thing from any tribune. Herat was rebuilt when Ismail Khan was in power and he used the taxes that he collected to bring progress to that province. The same is happening in Balkh today. If all of these improvements were done by the central government then we would have seen progress in places like Kabul, Ghazni city, Gardez...etc
The Durand line is a natural border that has existed for thousands of years. If you read our history once you would know that this Durand line separated the Iranian plateau from the Sub-continent. We can't get along with the Pashtuns of Afghanistan; do you think another 20 million Pashtuns will bring prosperity to this country? All of these borders were drawn by imperialists and if one gets removed then all of them should get removed. If Pashtuns are allowed to unite then why should Tajiks Hazaras Uzbeks and Turkmens with their brothers? Why should these privileges only be given to Pashtuns and not to the other ethnic groups?
in conclusion, Afghanistan has no future and the only thing that is keeping Afghanistan together is the foreign troops. Once they pull out Afghanistan's faith will be partition and balkanization and no one will be able to save this failed state.
Karzai did kill Khan's son and anyone who knew what happened in Herat in 2004 is aware of this. Karzai supported and helped Amanullah from Shindand to attack Herat and Amanullah killed Ismail Khan's son and it was then when Ismail Khan surrendered to Karzai. do you think Ismail Khan has forgotten this?
There is an Afghanistani in Zurich who is well aware of Ghani's history of bribery. His name is Jamil Qaderi and he works with one of the swiss banks. He was a representative of this bank for Afghanistan when Ghani was minister.
How can you deny that Pashtu wasn't forced on Hazaras. If you have read Ghobar and Sediq Farhang's history you would have knew this.
Next time before debating with us please go and study your history and become aware of your country's politics.
