Realpolitik in play :)



Lots of negative emotions in ur post my friend, it's a tit for tat, no hard feelings ;)
Why you hate Pakistan, I have seen many Afghanis in the streets of Karachi mostly are roti walay and dhabay owners and they respect and love us, they hates your government and hates India even more by saying KAFIR to them and are more fundamentalist then Saudis. You are a minority in your country.

We need to built good relations with Common Afghans, let Afghan president bark, they all will not last long, sooner or later they all will fall and our relations with common Afghans will pay fruitful result.

Where have you seen in my statements is that I hate Pakistan? Can you point one please, just one.

As for the Roti Walay or Dhabay owners, of course you are happy with whatever comes out of their mouth, their level of thinking as of any Woti Walay Pakistanis or or Indians but here I am and by extension other educated Afghans who will challenge you intellectually and will call a spade a spade, so when we play realpolitik then you accuse us of hating you? :)

Gone are the days when illiterates Afghans would dance to your tone, the next generation is as educated and as competitive as you are, answer all genuine concerns and we will do the same.

Hypocrisy no?

@Sher Malang : Chip in if you can on the story of Roti Walay or Dhaby owners,our friends in Pakistan seem to think that Afghanistan is a bunch of Roti Walays :D

Hehe, i dont mean to say afghan are only roti walas, but what i meant to say common Afghans love us more than rulers and hates India more than others.
I would love see Afghan is now getting education but still lacks some because once they understand and learn more than us then they will know what exactly going in their country and the region and why US killing you and why India is interested in the region and Why Russian did same but at this point My brothers in Afghanistan still lacks some.

Where you from?
I mean a pushtun or tajik or other?

Good move by Afghans, you can't be bullied forever.

Its the other way actually, Afghans used to have a superior complex and are extremely racist towards Punjabi and Urdu Speaking elite of Pakistan, now these elite are more powerful then them, they never saw Punjabis and these Hindu convert Urdu walay being more powerful then the ''superior race''. All Afghans can do is drool over their past glory of ruling Punjab and Lahore.

PS Its funny to see an Indian siding with Afghans. :lol:

ISLAMABAD: Kabul has threatened to shut the Afghan transit route for Pakistani exports to Central Asia if Islamabad does not allow Afghan traders to use Lahore’s Wagah border for trade with India.

“If Pakistan does not allow Afghan traders to use the Wagah border for imports and exports of their goods, Afghanistan will also not allow Pakistan to use Afghan transit routes to reach Central Asia and other countries for exports,” President Ashraf Ghani said in a meeting with UK’s special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan Owen Jenkins in Kabul. “Afghanistan is no more a landlocked country as it has many transit routes for the import and export of goods,” Ghani added, according to a Pashto-language statement posted on Friday by the president’s website.

Pakistan must allow Afghanistan direct trade access to India through Wagah: Ghani

The remarks came amid tension between the two uneasy neighbours over several issues and particularly in the backdrop of Pakistan’s decision to introduce a new mechanism at its Torkham border that requires every Afghan to carry passport and visa for crossing the border.

“Pakistan has always shut its routes on Afghanistan’s fresh fruit, causing loss of millions of dollars to our traders,” the Afghan president said. He added that Afghanistan was making efforts to boost economic cooperation in the region and wanted Pakistan and other regional countries to remove all technical problems that create obstacles in economic cooperation.

When contacted, a Foreign Office official refused to comment on Ghani’s statement, saying a response will be given after due consultations.

Afghan officials said Kabul has long been demanding the use of Pakistan’s land route to deliver goods at the Indian border town of Attari via Wagah. However, Pakistan is reluctant to grant such permission in view of the state of its relations with New Delhi.

Afghan sources insist that Afghan goods, mostly fresh fruits go up to Wagah but then it is not allowed to go up to Attari. “It is offloaded in Wagah and then carried in carts up to Attari and loaded on again. This adds to transportation cost as well as to a significant spoilage,” an Afghan source said.

Islamabad refuses Kabul trucks access to Delhi

“We have asked that our goods mostly fresh fruit be allowed to go up to Attari and then transferred to Indian trucks in a back to back arrangement. This alone can reduce cost and spoilage to an extent that will make our export of fruit to India double or triple,” he said.

Ghani also obliquely accused Pakistan of sponsoring terrorism, saying the recently organised and well-coordinated terrorist attacks showed that the terrorists receive aid from outside.

“Support to the terrorist groups is an action contrary to the good neighbourhood and all international norms and action of the neighbouring country is no more acceptable to the people and gov’t of Afghanistan,” he was quoted as saying.

“We will use diplomatic channels to stop all efforts to destabilise Afghanistan through terrorist groups. I want our message should be conveyed to Pakistan,” the Afghan leaders further said.

On his part the British envoy said his country will support the Afghan-led intra-Afghan dialogue and will keep on efforts along with the regional countries. Pakistani officials say repatriation of the refugees could gain momentum and that many would return this and next year.

Can't have an Afghan/Indian press conference without the obligatory terrorism accusation :flame:

Easier to blame the failures of their security and governance on Pakistan

President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani has threatened to close transit route for Pakistanto Central Asian countries as the Wagah port has been closed for theAfghantraders for import and export.

President Ghani made the remarks during a meeting with the United Kingdom's special envoy forAfghanistanand PakistanOwen Jenkins in Kabul, reports the Khaama Press.

He said Afghanistanis no more a landlocked country as several other options and transit routes are available for the import and export of commodities of theAfghantraders.

President Ghani further added that Pakistanusually closes transit routes during the fruits season which incurs loss of millions of dollars to the Afghantraders.

According to him, Indiahas agreed to exemptAfghanistanfrom financial tariff for the export of fruits to the country.

The duo also discussed Afghanpeace talks, fight against terrorism, and the issue of the Afghanrefugees' repatriation from Pakistan.

President Ghani said the Afghanrefugees are tired of pressures and the ongoing situation inPakistanas they are willing to repatriate to Afghanistan, emphasizing that theAfghanrefugees have invested millions in the country and the government is committed to support them to shift their investments to Afghanistan.

He urged the international community to support Afghanistanin this process as theAfghanGovernment has taken necessary steps to assist the returnees.

Bhayya I think you forgot what Afghans did in Indian sub-continent, I dont need to name some but being Pakistani I am not afraid of Afghans but Indians must need to worry from them.

I think Most of the punjabis, sindhis and Urdu speaking are hindu converts except Pushtuns and balochis and some sindhis. being an urdu speaker I dont hate Afghani and must say we need Afghanistan to become part of Bigger regional game. Secondly Afghan is not an old name previously they were either pushtuns, persians or turks.

@A-Team

where you from Afghanistan,
pushtun or tajik?
