Pashtun/Afghans will never accept Durand Line as a permanent border between two countries.It is a line drawn forcefully which has artificially divided one nation into two parts in1893 at a time when english were ruling India.English drew this line without the consent of the Pashtun/Afghans.Since the time Pashtun/Afghans have not realised this as a border and will not do so in future.

 

It is right that Americans are our friends and know that they will help us in the solution of our problems,apparently referring to a report of the Boucher to the senate Armed Committee.We are the allies of the international community in  their war against terror,but it does not mean that international community will have to keep us aloof from one another.This is not the solution rather it will multiply the issues and the miscreants and the promoters will have to prolong their activities.

 

If international community is sincere to eliminate the terrorism from the region,then it will have to strive to work hard and get Larawbar.united.We think that the terrorists and their promoters have been using this weakness for their terror activities just to show the world that Durand line be accepted as a permanent border.But this should be clear to all and sundry that the problems will not be solved rather will pepetuate.Pashtun Democratic Council demand of the International Community to help Pashtun/Afghans get united and take this issue very serious.

 

It is not a problem of the two states that they will sit together and say O.K.It is a long standing demand of a nation which has been kept separated for more than 100 years artificially.He has also urged upon all Pashtun/Afghans living every where in the world to stand and apprise the world about their problems and get them informed that Durand Line is not a border and Pashtun/Afghans will never accept it as one because this is the issue of a nation survival.21st

is the century of unity of the colonially divided nations.If world community wish to see it as a cradle of peace then it will have to bring artificially divided nations closer and their keeping further aloof will create problems.
