[Samurai]

Afghans attacked a Kashmiri tourist for speaking Urdu recently, bastards have a long history of attacking random Pakistanis in their country

So that Youtuber was Kashmiri? I posted the same video and thought he was some Afghan living in India because he told them he was visiting from India.

This part too, gives a land border to Turkmenistan (LNG diversity). Civilization and sapience will be bought to Herat and Kandahar.

Too large land to be sustainable and Kandahar is where the most extremist nutcases are, it's the origin place of the Taliban

form what i have read here it would cost billions to build roads for that to happen

Imagine Karakoram highway but several times harder, the only way to capture it in the first place is by helicopters, on the other hand it should be relatively easy to hold since there are only a few dirt roads that connect Wakhan corridor to the rest of Afghanistan.

Can we please go back to bombing Kabul?

, on the other hand it should be relatively easy to hold since there are only a few dirt roads that connect Wakhan corridor to the rest of Afghanistan.

i guess yeah that would be best
hold it and then fence like we did to the conclave and build the roads later when we have the money

What's the feasibility of capturing it symbolically for now with no new infrastructure to be built for a long time? Just as a statement

As of 2024, the Wakhan District has an estimated population of ~18,000 residents. Wikipedia It's one of the most sparsely inhabited and geographically isolated places on Earth.

Ethnicity​

Three main groups:


1. Wakhi (~75% of population)The Wakhi are the dominant ethnic group. They practice agriculture in the river valleys and herd animals in summer pastures at higher elevations. Wikipedia They are an Iranian ethnic group and predominantly adhere to Nizari Ismaili Shia Islam — followers of the Aga Khan. Wikipedia


2. Kyrgyz (~10–15%)The Kyrgyz, numbering around 1,500, are Sunni Hanafi Muslims and live as nomadic herders at the higher eastern altitudes in the Great and Little Pamir. Wikipedia


3. Pamiri/Tajik (remainder)Farsi-speaking Pamirs and Tajiks round out the population, reflecting the corridor's history as a junction between multiple Central Asian worlds. Geoperspective

Allegiance to the Taliban — Very Low​

This is the critical point. The religious and cultural divide is stark:


Religious incompatibility: The Taliban's extreme fundamentalism is largely alien to the Ismailis who make up perhaps 80% of the valley. They revere the Aga Khan — an octogenarian billionaire based in Monaco who claims direct descent from the Prophet — almost as a living deity. Foreign Policy


Historical neglect turned hostile takeover: The Taliban had never entered the Wakhan until they took over the country. It wasn't their cultural area — the Taliban are Sunni, while the locals are Shia Ismaili from a different Muslim sect, considered "outside the family" and treated as half-wild shepherd populations. The area had always been marginalized and forgotten even before the Taliban. The World from PRX


Reaction to Taliban arrival: Despite official videos showing a calm takeover, an anonymous local source reported otherwise: "When the Taliban arrived, the Afghan forces escaped to Tajikistan, and the local people hid in their homes. We have been in hiding for weeks." Geoperspective


Kyrgyz fleeing: Dozens of ethnic Kyrgyz families called on the government in Bishkek to repatriate them, saying they sold all their belongings and livestock after the Taliban denied their children education. "We can't return to Pamir anymore," one man said. RFE/RL


Fear for their way of life: Educational initiatives put in place over the last decade by Aga Khan organizations have been cut short, and women's lives have already changed dramatically. Many Wakhi people fear for their way of life. Foreign Policy

Bottom Line​

The Wakhan population has essentially zero organic allegiance to the Taliban. They are religiously Ismaili (anathema to Taliban Sunni Deobandism), culturally liberal by Afghan standards, historically neglected by Kabul, and have shown fear and flight responses to Taliban arrival. The Tajik-Pamiri-Ismaili identity makes the Wakhan fundamentally challenging for the Sunni Pashtun-dominated Taliban government. The Express Tribune The Taliban controls it by military patrol, not by consent.


claude response on the population of wakhan

The highlighted area on the map (labelled newly captured area + colored red) is in Kunar + Nanganhar provinces and not in Nooristan province. Nooristan is adjacent to Badakhshan i.e. up towards the wakahn corridor.

I doubt this is a correct depuction on the map as well as, if true, this would mean we are rt at the border of Jalalabad.

However, if this is true and PA has moved ahead in Kunar and Nooristan then this is an excellent news. Geographically, a border next to the Kunar river is much easier to manage/man than the current place.
