This or that side (the Duran line) no longer exists in yesterday's understanding. The “Supposed Duran Line” is already a myth, sounding from the mouths of naive people.

Ending the Duran debate, inciting ethnic strife and removing Pashtuns from the caravan of civilization, moving Islamic extremist terrorist centers from Pakistan to southern Afghanistan, alienating the Afghan people from their civil rights, pitting other Afghan tribes against Pashtuns, and depriving Afghanistan of educated and young professionals... all this is among the main tasks of Pakistan in Afghanistan.

- Pakistan wants to solve the Duran problem, first of all by bringing the Taliban back to Afghanistan and making Afghanistan more dependent on itself. It was on the basis of this policy that during the rule of the Taliban, the construction of barbed wire along the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan was completed, and now no one is allowed to enter the territory of this country without a Pakistani visa. This or that side (the Duran line) no longer exists in yesterday's understanding. The “supposed Durand Line” is already a myth, sounding from the lips of naive people.

Rooted in religious extremism and ethnic prejudice, the Taliban are as ethnocentric and tribalistic as they are fundamentalist in religion. Each Taliban (among themselves) first of all values his tribe more than other tribes. The internal conflict and rivalry between the Haqqani (Giljai) faction and the Kandahari (Durani) Taliban, who want to remove each other from power and take each other's lives, is a living and good example of this truth. Conscious of this fact, Pakistan is deftly capitalizing on the contradictions between the various Taliban groups and, as a result, the different Pashtun tribes, and wants to keep them even more divided and backward than before.

Pakistan will never allow civil rights in Afghanistan by using the Taliban as a puppet extremist group that only knows how to defame religion, seek dominance over others, use coercion and destroy civilization and culture. Pakistan does not want civil law or civil rights in Afghanistan, most likely it wants sharia law and strict amr bi maruf and nahi an al munkar (calling people to do good and avoid evil deeds).

Those who try to cover up religious extremism, ignorance, ethnic prejudice, and hostility towards the Taliban with civility, civil rights, art, women, and Shiism and somehow justify it, in fact, humiliate the dignity of all Afghan peoples, including Pashtuns. It would be a big historical mistake to think that the Taliban will raise the authority of one ethnic group among other ethnic groups in Afghanistan.

- Pakistan wants to damage the honor and dignity of all ethnic groups - especially the Pashtun people, attribute to them all prejudices, religious extremism, rejection of civilization and culture, and create the impression that the center of religious fundamentalism is among the Pashtuns and in southern Afghanistan. It is not found in the Punjab and Waziristan of Pakistan.

- Pakistan wants to discreetly and slowly turn all the ethnic groups of Afghanistan, especially the ethnic groups living in the north and center of the country, against the Pashtuns, and this time provoke war and fratricide in a more heinous way.

For many reasons and evidence, if we do not act, Pakistan wants to completely deprive our country of educated and young people and make Afghanistan even more poor and more needy than before.
