Wakhan Corridor...An opportunity!

[Zibago]

Pusthuns will unite under a single state. It is manifest destiny. Look at European history - it took 200 years for Germany to emerge from all the Germanic states. Pakistanis are fighting a losing battle here. No amount of brain washing under Islam will work

Yes that will be a province of Pakistan called Loy Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and we will make @karakoram CM of that province

Wakkan is mysteries place, I always search places there on Google map. But Pakistan can't afford any adventure right now.

And why only Wakkan. Why not complete Afghanistan. Let Pakistan and Afghanistan unite ando grow together. They also deserve Peace and prosperity.

Why fight when peace can solve more issues.

Pakistan should never use force to take Wakhan corridor. It will be act like hitting a hammer on once own foot. Pakistan can capture the Wahkhan corridor but Pakistan will have to return it back to Afghanistan under UN admitted border accord. In return this act will give Afghanistan a chance to make defense agreement with India and let them use their airbases and army deployment.

Wakhan is one of the poorest region in Afghanistan but they are relatively more peaceful than the region. pakistan has an advantage of wakhanis being on both sides of border( i myself am an wakhani) they wouldn't mind being taken over by us. these guys would be even more happy as we would bring infrastructure and security to the region.Secondly the Wakhan corridor is an artifiical border made by the british and russians which was never meant to be.

What language to you people speak? It is related to other languages in Pakistan?

The only issue is that the NATO influenced Kabul government would then be driven furth er into the embrace of NATO and Bharat even if the people of the corridor don't mind.

What you are stating is a fact. Wakhi people will be united under Pakistan, it's only a matter of time and inevitable. As far as i see it, under GB all of this region can be united under Pakistani flag.
But as far as conquering it is concerned, let's face it we can't take such a risk even if we have the type of support one needs. Let's wait and see how things play out.

To the best of my knowledge, except for a brief period when Badakhshan was captured by Babur, Wakhan corridor has not been part of kingdom of the subcontinent rulers during last 500 years.

British, Brakzais of Afghanistan & the Russian Czar agreed to make it a buffer zone between Russia & British India back in the late 1800’s. Besides, it is part of Afghanistan and it would not go down well if it is passed to Pakistan without Afghanistan’s agreement.

Stop smoking the Afghan hash, it does amazing stuff to perfectly normal people

Pakistan and Afghanistan should stick to their current geographies, they neighbor have the muscle nor the stomach for such adventures.
