Yup you need to do that ASAP, IA needs target practice

 

[jaunty]

Afgan army determination against Pakistan shows that now they are ready to run their country on their own. Its time India, US,China, West should work together for strengthening Afgan army.

That is true, look at these soldiers, they look professional

 

[FaujHistorian]

i still maintain that this is merely a ploy to increase afghan nationalism so the country doesn't disintegrate when NATO leaves..... its a good ploy with a good chance of success but for it to work completely, a full scale war where all afghans are equally threatened will be needed..... i am skeptical that any afghan leader would have the balls to challenge Pakistan, but i could be wrong..

No war please.

We had enough.

Balls or not, Afghanistanis are the last group on earth to go for another war following 40 long years of instability, civil war, and bhook, and nang.



Just look at the map first.


Afghanistan's food, petrol, and every nail goes through Pakistan "DUTY FREE".

The last thing they want is to get their neck in the vise.


peace

yes very professional indeed , look at the guy in the middle he got the flag mast between his legs

It is either to be kept to the side or there is a socket in the belt in which it fits , sticking it between your legs is kind of stupid and funny that only the afghani army would do

also the guy with the other flag has got all his weight ( too much of it .. haha ) on one leg

their drill instructors must be very lousy

At an anti-Pakistan rally in Kabul on Friday, Afghan protestors had to resort to various tactics before the flag they were trying to burn ignited to their satisfaction. WSJ's Charles Levinson reports via #WorldStream.

KABUL—Thousands of marchers shouted "Death to Pakistan" and burned Pakistani flags in the Afghan capital Friday, a day after the worst border clash in more than a decade left one person dead and five injured.

Demonstrators hoisted Afghan soldiers on their shoulders and urged that territory be taken back from Pakistan, with some calling for war.

The clash began late Wednesday when Afghan security forces—which are trained, funded and advised by the U.S.—apparently tried to seize control of one of several newly erected Pakistani military posts along the disputed border. Pakistan fired artillery shells at Afghan forces, who responded with mortars and rocket-propelled grenades.

By the time it ended Thursday morning, one Afghan Border Police officer had been killed and three wounded. Pakistan said two of its soldiers had been wounded.

Afghan officials say the posts are in Afghan territory, a claim supported by U.S. military maps but rejected by Pakistan.

Afghanistan doesn't recognize the so-called Durand Line, the British-drawn boundary between the two countries that cuts through ethnic Pashtun lands, as an international frontier with Pakistan.

Tensions between the neighboring countries have steadily mounted in recent months as the U.S. winds down its military presence in Afghanistan and the Afghan and Pakistan militaries grow more assertive.

Many Afghans resent Pakistan's interference in Afghanistan, especially decades of Pakistani intelligence support for the Taliban.

"We are protesting against Pakistan, against its interference in Afghanistan, militarily, politically, its support for the Taliban, and 30 years of proxy war in Afghanistan by Pakistan," said Zaland Faiz, head of a youth movement in Kabul.

He held a sign that declared: "Pakistan is a terrorism sponsoring state."

"They tried to invade our country," said Israr Ahmed Khan, a local politician leading protest chants. "These are historically Afghan lands."

The uneasy border remained calm on Friday.

Both sides blamed the other for provoking the clash, which appeared to begin after Afghan forces seized control of a Pakistan border post.

Afghan officials said the Pakistani soldiers were violating an agreement by building additional fortification onto the outpost. Pakistani officials said they were merely conducting routine repairs.

U.S. military officials said they were working to calm tensions. Any disruption to the flow of goods across the Afghanistan-Pakistan border could hamper U.S. efforts to withdraw its remaining 66,000 troops and their equipment from the country in coming months.

Afghans Protest After Clash on Pakistani Border - WSJ.com

the thing that interests me is that why is usa doing anything??even though they agree that the gates are in afghan territory??
@Sher Malang @Armstrong @Secur @Abu Zolfiqar @Pak-one

USA knows not to let out even a PEEP over this subject and they know that antagonizing Pakistan now would not be in their interest at all.

The construction of the border gates will continue until completion. If the ANA/security apparatus feel the need to attack our side while construction takes place, they should expect a response. They shouldn't start crying and trying to pull off the "nationalist" card when in fact they can't even control Kabul -- they should simply accept the Durand Line which is accepted by the international community.

any further aggression from Afghanistan will only harm afghanistan more......I think we should shut the border for a week at least and remind them who is feeding them.


the funny thing is - Karzai is now posturing and trying to get the Afghan Taleban on his side and against Pakistan; whereas in reality -- it is Karzai's whose azz will be on the line once his masters decide to call a spade a spade

 

[REHAN NIAZI FALCON]

all because of this bloody media that is cultivating PAKISTAN as an enemy ..............

Such a shame that American occupation didn't induce a similar reaction from our Afghan 'friends'. I wounder if the 2.7 million illegal Afghans roaming our streets as beggars will share a similar sentiment.

[Gandhi G in da house]

Just 3 decades of stability and Afghanistan will be the 2nd strongest country in South Asia after India.Mark my words.

 

[Pukhtoon]

^^^^ lol After In-Dia Yes you are rite lol

 

[t-birds]

Their are many pressure points, Pakistan can use besides the military one. Economic and trade sanctions could be applied, if clashes like this continues to escalate. For example;

Afghan-Pak Transit Trade Agreement APTTA - which boosts Afghans exports to other countries such as India through the Wagh border. This could be taxed to oblivion, which would devastate the Afghan economy.

ACCI - Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce & Industries, which uses Pakistan's Ports for trade could be blocked, as well as infrastructural development linking Afghan roads and railways to Pakistan can be temporarily stopped.

Food & aid deliveries in Afghanistan, could be sanctioned.... & etc..

They are already better than India. Why wait for three decades.
