Old contradictions and new problems in Pakistan and Afghanistan

Pakistan and Afghanistan, these two neighbors have recently been a big fire, from blaming each other until the morning of the 12th, what's going on?

The fuse is that the Pakistani Taliban, a terrorist organization, has been causing trouble against Pakistan. This Bata and Atta are not the same thing, but they are both called Taliban. The two sides have brotherhood and fought against the US military together during the US invasion of Afghanistan. Therefore, Mehsud, the leader of Bata, and many high-level officials often hide from Pakistan's crackdowns in Afghanistan.

Pakistan was informed that on October 9, Bata head Mahmud was in Kabul, Afghanistan's capital, so Pakistan took a rapid military action, attacked Kabul and Paktika provinces in Afghanistan, destroyed Mahmud, who was on a Toyota land cruiser, and launched an ag300 missile carried by the Wing Dragon II drone.

But in pursuit of international recognition by the Afghan Taliban, you can fight terrorist organizations in Pakistan, but you can’t violate my home airspace and sovereignty.

That didn’t have to counter, so the Afghan Taliban claimed to launch a “retaliatory strike” on Pakistan on the morning of 12th. Successfully destroyed several postings of the Pakistani army, causing the death of more than 50 Basque soldiers. Atta claimed to have achieved the goal and mediated a stop in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, but still said, “You dare come again, I will fight again!”

But Pakistan does not recognize it! I strike across the border against terrorist organizations, not against you Atta. You Afghan Taliban, this is an "unreasonable attack" on the outside, and I will, of course, counter-attack. So the conflict broke out, both sides used heavy tanks and fighter jets, in seven border provinces, and both sides suffered great casualties.

In the case of counter-terrorism, ATA should also support for its own image.So why can’t Pakistan and Afghanistan communicate and coordinate?Because yes, these two neighbors are deeply contradictory, with both old contradictions and new problems.

This old contradiction is the border territorial dispute and the historical legacy of the artificially separated Pashtun nation.

Everyone knows who the shit stirrer is. Yes, it is the British Empire. When it colonized India, it sent a man named Duran to demarcate the border with Afghanistan. In 1893, it determined a Duran Line and seized some Afghan territory. Afghanistan was not an opponent of the British Empire at that time, but Afghanistan never recognized this Duran Line.

Later, the British Empire was unable to maintain its colonies and left in India. The Indian colonies of that year established two countries, Pakistan and India. This Duran County became the root of the territorial dispute between Pakistan and Afghanistan today.

The 2640-kilometer-long Dulan Line also divides 40 million Pashtuns into two parts, more than half of which are in Afghanistan and less than half in what is now Khyber Pashtuns province of Pakistan. The trouble is that the Pashtun people attach great importance to tribal traditions, and some traditions even identify more than national identity. Therefore, these Pashtun people often cross the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Pakistan Taliban took advantage of this and even encouraged the Pashtun independence. For the Pakistani government, Bata must be eliminated.

In addition to the new game, this conflict appears to be because Pakistan crossed the border to strike Bata, but behind there are Indian three brothers and the shadow of old America. In India and Pakistan, everyone knows that Pakistan is very cautious that India and Afghanistan joined north and south to strike.

India and Afghanistan are getting closer to affecting geostationary stability in South and Central Asia, while the U.S. intervention is under a century unchanged, playing the game of great powers in South Asia.

At present, Afghanistan has announced the end of the retaliatory action, but the two sides still gather heavy troops to confront each other in the border area.

How will this matter develop in the future? Will it trigger a larger conflict?

Border disputes, counter-terrorism problems and Pashtun ethnic issues,If these three major problems are not solved, the conflict will be difficult to stop.
