Should we trust the Tajiks? Not yet.
They have a very large trust deficit to bridge.
Pakistan has done its part of absolving itself from aligning with the taliban in the past by OP GLH.
So just words will not do.
This is why Afghanistan should be balkanized to make sure of durable peace. Pakistan gets priority access to its resources and minerals to compensate for the last 2 lost decades and the border region on both sides can become enlightened and live peacefully. But for this to happen they need better rolemodels than warlords and taliban must be pushed back to tora bora and bunker busters dropped on them.
