Not necessarily , Taliban are a decentralized group of factions in rebellion. To say that they could not be eliminated because they regrouped in Pakistan is based on wrong assumptions. Saying that they regrouped in pakistan would indicate that they were driven out , which is not true . Why would...
I am sure everyone would agree that an Afghanistan having no Daesh and no Taliban would be desirable , but so would an Afghanistan having no Opium trade , no corruption , no foreign dependance and no deep rooted ethnic tensions.

Pakistan , Afghanistan and Tajikistan were in process of finalizing a trilateral agreement called (Pakistan-Afghanistan-Tajikistan Trilateral Transit Trade Agreement (PATTTTA). This waiver is a part of that deal. This was also discussed when nawaz traveled to Dushanbe last month.The 110 % duty...
Even with the Indians cozying up with the afghan govt ,the fact is that Pakistan is still your largest trading partner .We account for almost 30 percent of your imports and exports. Its high time that we start work on the Peshawar-Kabul motorway and connect Afghanistan with CPEC.

In the midst of talks,the Afghan taliban declaring a spring offensive raises many questions.Why such show of force,are the Taliban looking to negotiate from a position of strength ?.As far as i have read , talks have already started in Qatar and in China. Another Taliban delegation also went to...
Peace through negotiations ? how ?.How do you negotiate with criminals.Negotiation is about give and take .So far their demands are utterly unreasonable.Freeing 4000 convicted terrorist/suicide bombers .Evacuating FATA ,so they can form their islamic emirate there.What guarantee is there ,that...
Wow , Are you brain-dead or something ? These IEDs(Kukar bombs) are the leading cause for approximately 63% of Coalition deaths in Iraq and 66% in Afghanistan. These are considered the most fearsome weapons that are in use of the insurgents as they can be easily disguised as animal carcasses...

China arming the FSA ,well what better way to market your weapons .Potential buyers will be more satisfied by seeing actual videos of their intended weapons blowing up tanks rather then reading a brochure.If i am not mistaken HJ-8 (baktar shikan) inflicted a lot of damage against serb m-84...
