"Never trust an Afghan/Pashtun who is losing power — trust a monkey before you trust them. When their dominance is threatened, they plead, beg, and strike back‑door deals to survive. Inherently, they remain committed to Pakistan’s destruction, which they openly call their “project.”
It would be a strategic blunder to empower them again. We must not repeat the same mistake. Instead, we should make new choices: empower non‑Afghans who are pragmatic, who will address our core concerns — security, the Durand Line, and Indian proxy wars on Afghan soil.
Ethnic Afghans must be isolated, and a concrete wall built 30 km forward. Pakistan needs a sustainable policy, not one that allows them to bite us every two decades." Jan Achakzai
