TTP is a Mehsud dominated/led(until recently) group, the fact that your friend has chosen to be in PA doesn't change anything. Do you think the Tribal pashtuns of FATA will so easily forgive PA for the way they treated them? Being a Pashtun you should know, revenge is part of Pashtunwali. The fact of the matter is that Pashtuns are a minority in the Pakistani state including PA. The Punjabis are the ones in control of the country. It was clear that even in elections, what Pashtuns want is irrelevant, considering that IK lost to NS. I'm only saying all this to make a point here that Pakistanis shouldn't worry about us Pashtuns in Afghanistan while they themselves are an insignificant entity in Pakistan.
Well sir much has change since than.I hope you might agree with me as i know much more than you about FATA than you do.
back in 2004 when nek muhammad Wazir was killed in my village baka khel wazir people were shouting anti pakistan and army slogans.
But they have seen what kind of barbarian ttp's are.
Today or (infact even in 2009 when Bait ullah mehsud was killed).I just can't tell you that the local uneducated people were happy about his death.Despite the fact that he was born and raised in bannu.has still his brothers in bannu(one of them killed a couple of months after his death in bannu,He was the owner of Global computer in Bannu and dera ismail khan)
The hate for the Talibans is much much more than Pakistan state or army.
We are minority in Pakistan.And i am sure you must know that under democracy majority is the authority.and one should always respect the mandate of people.
But still even being less than 15% of Pakistan population they presence in army as of the official estimate is 22% while there are sources even indicating more than 30%.
Ghulam ishaq khan from bannu was president of Pakistan for 6 long years and ayub khan for 9years.But leave it.
Yes we do have Problems but we are minority in our own country while your majority in your country but still the country is occupied by tajiks/uzbeks.
Well we certainly care about the afghan pashtuns(atleast i do care about the karlani pashtuns in afghanistan) and i know what they are upto.today half of khost lives in bannu.some sources shows that pashtun population is strongly decreasing and might decrease to below 30% within this decade as they are moving to balochistan.
i was watching Ayaz wazir program.Where he was asked what would you prefer for FATA?being a new province or merged with KPK?
He said if we form new province under Qablistan name i am sure within only few years millions of afghan pashtuns will move to qablistan and get the local domicile and later Pakistani citizenship
He said if we merged it with KPK under referendum,all the adjacent states within Afghanistan will also be declared disputed or pakistani territory and than it will depend it on Pakistan whether to take them by force or Go to UN.
He said all though i prefer its mergence with KPK but Pakistan should give off the disputed claim as all the pashtuns dominated region within Afghanistan are as good as DUD.and are of no significance.
best of luck but Don't pretend that your something super duper
