Tajeeks want to partition Afghanistan in Mazar

This is one dream of theirs that will never come true. Being a Pashtun from mazar, I can tell you myself, that these people scatter through the streets like roaches. Ahmad shah massoud proved why all Tajiks are watan forosh when he let the Russians come through Afghanistan and yet this dog is treated like a hero there with his pictures still hanging around shopping centers. If they were in power today, they would have sold Afghanistan to the ameicans a long time ago. We could have easily become the 51 state. When Pashtuns and hazaras want unity, these cowards want to split and bring back their "imagenery khorssan" which was never theirs to begin with. Go on Persian and Tajik forums then you will know what I'm talking about. Their fake nationalism is as bright as day light.

Kushan can you tell me please how much is the percentage of Pashtuns in the city of Mazar Sharif and the province ?

Kushan can you tell me please how much is the percentage of Pashtuns in the city and province of Mazar Sharif?

Pashtuns make up 30% in the province of balkh compared to the Tajiks who make up 50% alone. Of course this census was done 2 or 3 years ago. As for mazar city, they say 10% while Hazaras make up 60% but this doesn't sound believable due to the lack of a proper cencus in done in Afghanistan in general.

i dont think the minorities are interested in partition as it would not be in their best interests

i think theyre simply concerned with wresting as much power away from the centre as possible

[Zemaryalai]

Kushan I normally travel to Afghanistan a few times a year and I was in Mazar last year. The Pashtuns have been sidelined in Balkh and Tajeeks control everything from shamali to Hairatan. This warlord, Atta, is very dangerous for us. He is becoming much more dangerous than Masood because he controls Mazar, a strategic city in the north (masood did not control mazar) and he has disarmed all of his enemies (dostum, juma khan hamdard, mohaqeq). thousands of Pashtuns in Balkh have been displaced since he became governor and many have fled to the south or neighboring countries. After 2009 when abdullah lost he and that other criminal daud start killing pashtuns and would label them as terrorist and taliban. We pashtuns have to stop living in this dream world that we are invisible and start realizing the truth that if we don't wake up these tajeeks will take over and destroy our Afghanistan.

[Zemaryalai]

He has even named a street after Iranians and has erased the names of mohammad gul momand, ahmad sha baba and other pashtuns and have renamed streets after iranians and tajeeks.

don't bull****. three weeks ago, i spoke to a pashtun uzbak who is living and working in mazaar sharief and on this very subject. i found it strange that of all the places in afghanistan, he chose to work in mazaar sharif and was able to speak pure dari with out the accent too. i asked him how he came to it and he clarified that there was weekly gatherings amongst people of both languages and for the sole purpose of getting rid of such differences and promoting diversity and peaceful living amongst afghans, all over afghanistan. he also emphasized on how such issues only arise when input is accepted from guests who either have lived their entire lives abroad or have recently returned from a visit to a foreign country.
i can get him to come here and speak himself to you guys about it or share an audio clip but i don't want him to know me as a member here or give anyone else a reference on our behalf, outside this platform. an exception would be made if a staff member wants to contact him.

minor issues and conflicts do exists but nowhere to the scale that is presented by some. my last visit to afghanistan was in june of 2011 and every billboard that i saw on my way from nangrahar to qandahar were in dari as well as pashto. in kabul, no one is allowed to hang a sign above their office or shop in english. it either has to be dari or pashto. some of you might have noticed boards that have the pashto or dari word written with english letters. that is not a translation error. that is the only way they are allowed to display the advertisement.
some of you have lived your lives with the help of lies and treachery. instead of mending things together, you have been programmed to create friction and cause chaos. it used to bother me alot but it doesn't anymore because i have come to understand of how active and well aware of the situation in afghanistan the youth of afghanistan have become. "atta" is one man who may or may not have named a street somewhere in balkh after an iranian. if you work together with the tajiks and discuss with them why that is wrong or how destractive it can be for the future of afghans all together, you can undo that action very peacefully and in the process, you will achieve something good. but that is not your plan. you would rather use that one negative action to turn one half of the afghan population against the other half.
to me, people with such mentalities on both side can be whole lot more destractive and dangerous for a collective society than any one man with the authority to change a street name after someone.

The tajiks are still evil cunning bitches who wants to kill Pashtuns, I don't know in what a fairytale you live in, but Tajiks are the most evil *******s in Afghanistan and when they get the chance they will do anything to get more power and opress Pashtuns, they did that in the past and they do this now.

[DaZahroJaam.]

"the problem is not the problem. the problem is your attitude towards the problem.." i never said there was no problem. i simply stated that instead of fixing it, everyone always focuses on making it worse.

There are terrible Pashtuns, and there are good Pashtuns. There are uneducated Pashtuns, there are educated Pashtuns. Now replace the term Pashtun, with Tajik, and it still holds true. Never generalize malgara, I know some Tajiks who I probably wouldn't trade for anyone. Good and bad exists in all ethnic groups, and believe me not 'all' are evil. If "A" Tajik wants to partition Afghanistan, believe me there will be a "A" Tajik that will want to chop his head off. Without even realizing, most of this Tajik vs Pashtun vs Punjabi is the exact design of imperialists who wishes to weaken Afghanistan. While a school like MIT is busy inventing wireless electricity, Pashtuns are arguing about an unverified article.

Pashtuns make up at least 50% of Balkh, IMHO. But these numbers don't matter, education is what matters. If Pashtuns want Pashto used, they have to get some advanced degrees, and begin conversing in their own language; while working on nation building.

[Tjanaparh]

Tajiks have at leat the same problem of being divided as Pashtuns have. As the Durrand line divides Pashtuns, the Afghan-Tajik border divides Tajiks and Pamirians ( one close family of Pamirians who live near the border for example are relatives on both sides but are divided through this border).

The problem with us peoples in our region is our false pride,(we have the same at my homeland), this pride makes blind and weak, and makes everybody an easy instrument in the hands of imperialists. Your neighbours will be Tjiks and Tajiks neighbour will stay You - Isn't it much more important to get along one with the other , resolve all problems and create a strong region where never an imperialist power will come again to rule?
