What I had been harping about tirelessly since 2007 (and I was the only one
to do so openly) has now indeed happened: Afghanistan has formally notified
Pakistan in writing that Kabul’s contention is that the Durand Line Agreement—signed
by the erstwhile governments of Afghanistan and Imperial British India to
demarcate their respective territories—was valid only for 100 years and the
land that had been made part of the British holdings should return to the
Afghans.
The emergence of this latest faultline is what Pakistan has always feared
most ever since August 14, 1947. Needless to say, Kabul’s latest claim has enormous
repercussions with regard to not only the future status of Pakistan’s Federally
Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), but also the other provinces of Balochistan
and Gilgit-Baltistan, as the next six months ahead will reveal.
Meanwhile,
posted below are some new artworks regarding the JF-17 Thunder MRCA, though the
data concerning the H-4 PGM is visually erroneous.
