Reasons for War in the Pakhtun Land

Based on my experience with the people involved, we have three main factors responsible for the current situation in Pakhtun land.


The Al-Qaida factor

The Al-Qaida mentality is purely an Arab mentality in the garb of religion. They are not interested in the materialisation of Monotheistic ideals translated into a socio-politico-economic system in the form of Islam but are more interested in the implementation of the Arab culture over the world using Islam as the tool for Arab domination instead of a panacea for woes of the world. This ideal of Al-Qaida therefore is indirectly an Arab nationalist ideal.

It is this factor which attracts the Arab blood from across the world due to its anti-semetic appeal while it tries to mesmerise the rest of the nations by projecting the genuine element of truth associated with it due to its historic achievements in addition to a promising a bright future in the conception of life hereafter.

Taliban is the localised version of Al-Qaida mentality. The interests of Taliban intersect with the ISI cum Punjabi ideals as far as the destabilising of India and Afghanistan are concerned. That is why army and ISI also corroborate Taliban’s ideology invisibly.

The ISI cum Punjabi mentality sees Al-Qaida cum Taliban ideology as a counteracting factor against Pashtun Nationalism. That is why Pakistan army train, support and facilitate Taliban as far as their destructive activities in Pashtun land are concerned. But when it comes to the vested interests of Punjab dominated Pakistan, the army and its agencies retaliate if the Arab nationalist element in Al-Qaida ideology, which aims at the global domination of Arab culture, comes in conflict with the nationalist ideology of Punjabi dominated Pakistan.


The American Factor

USA has a genuine concern against the rising power of China. It takes it as a blessing that Sino-Indian bonds either do not exist or are extremely weak. So it is in the national interest of USA to take India into confidence and strengthen it in order to deal with China in the future and to de-nuclearise, destabilise and most probably disintegrate Pakistan as it has already served the purpose of its existence for being a proxy against former USSR.

It is also in the interest of US to support anarchy and chaos in Pakistan due to the intrinsic weakness of harmony among the various nationalities s living in Pakistan so that on the basis of this chaos it may take the reigns of power directly or indirectly via Pakistan army.

Pakhtuns, despite of being a historically acclaimed potential retaliatory nation, have been denouncing and flaying extremism and terrorism in strong words and even stronger actions.


The fellow Americans have also started to realise the same, atleast as part of their current US foreign policy now, after ruining the Pakhtun land for the last three decades using the Pakistani army, ISI, Arabs, Central Asians and above all the feelings of our Idealist Afghans.

US should realise the fact, even now, that behind the "mad mullah" is a "bad military" of Pakistan and Al-Qaida has been Allocated-Quasi-political-aide-of America in the past.

The barbarians of Al-Qaida were the heroes of Gen. Zia, Gen. Akhter Abdur Rahman and Brig. Yusuf from Paki side and William Casey from your side, during the unholy Afghan war in the past. Mark Edkin has already revealed this fact to the world from a military point of view in his book “The Bear Trap�.

Pakhtuns, despite of the astraying propaganda by the theocracy and media of Pakistan, do not consider Americans as their real enemies. However it should neither be considered their naivety nor ignorance as they know the goals and ambitions of the Ford Foundation and the Trilateral Commission behind the Obama administration.


The Pakistan factor

Nationalism, unity and harmony has never been in the interest of any imperialist power, be it British imperialists or Punjabi army or beaureocracy or US global hegemony.

While Sindh is clearly either PPP or MQM, Punjab is Muslim league in one or another form [one in power another in opposition] , it is sad to know that the Pakhtun land [North, South and Central Pakhtunkhwa] has divided vote bank of ANP,PKMAP,Mulism league,JUI,JI,PPP etc.

While the Punjabi Mahajar of Eastern Punjab shares the same culture with the Muslim and non Muslim Punjabis and do not even consider themselves as mahajir in Pakistan, there is a large gap between the Muslim Pakhtuns of North,Central,South Pakhtunkhwa in addition to a totally alien feeling for the fellows Muslim Afghan brethren.

While the focused Punjabi elite uses Pakhtuns to secure Pakistan and its national interests and take their credit, the Pakhtuns/Afghans, never even used their own resources to achieve the national goals for Pakhtuns/Afghans and safeguard their national interest in Afghanistan and Pakhtunkhwa.

The feelings of revenge and anger hibernating in the unconscious of those innocent Pakhtuns who are not able to see their invisible enemy now but will soon know them after which the silent sea of tears in their eyes may transform into a devastating storm of hatred which will destroy everything coming in its way.

Pakhtuns are poor but they are used to draw power from their poverty when they stand for their near and dear ones and fight against their enemy.

It should be noticed that there is big media hype if a single non-Pashtun is killed in Pakistan while no TV channel, no newspaper, no human rights group ,no NGO literally no body except the International Socialists or Nationalists like PKMAP condemn the killing of even hundreds of Pakhtuns by the Pakistani army.

If Nawaz Sharif can stand for the Punjabi interests by initiating the long march and raising his voice for Baluchistan, why the Pashtun leaders do not have the guts to do the same for Pashtun land.

Why ANP or PKMAP cannot lead a long march and seize the parliament for bringing peace to the former Pakthun state of Swat which by mistake got merged with Pakistan as did the rest of Pakhtunkhwa.

The situation in swat is not a local problem. It is the symptom of a bigger crisis in which Pakhtuns are going to be trapped due to neglecting the importance of sticking to the national interests of Pakhtun land.
