Afghan-Pakistan Border Villages Brace for Berlin Wall-Style Divide

[Peacelove]

Afghanistan has great fruits (don't want to say the best, but almost). Afghan water-melon, melon, Kandahari pomegranates, peach and apple from Shamali, grapes from Herat, etc. Afghanistan is a blessed country, with a good location, vast natural resources, a rich geography (mountains, deserts, valleys, steppes, etc). We just need a little bit of peace and stability and our country will develop.

I must say you are right..But why there is no peace ? Why afghans are fighting each other ?

[Razor]

We have terrorism, opium, fruits, dry fruits (almonds, pistachios, etc), saffron, carpets, gemstones such as lapizlazuli, ruby, emerald, etc. Natural resources such as gas, oil, etc. We have like the largest mineral riches in the world (at least 1$ trillion). And we are a crossroad between Iran/ME/Europe, CAR´s/Russia, China and India/Pakistan. I f properly managed we could become a good and stable country.

You MF Paki nationalists need to smell the coffee and wake up. Our country is much more important than yours. Our country has potential to become a good, prospere and stable place. Afghan people do believe in education, egalitarianism, stability and moderation. I once read on a wall in Kabul a poem in Farsi that struck me: "Afghanistan is a flower that will bloom in peace". Afghans are smart and hard-workers. We can make good contributions to the world.

Please, kill yourself. Thank you.

Well that got personal fast

How did we go from trade to me killing myself? Dude, I know Afghanistan is a great country, but let's not forget manners and basic decency. You need to understand that Pakistanis don't care about you nearly as much as you think.

[salman47]

Together ? I think instead of bombing better together not allowed them to built if it so necessary to be bomb

Bro the Pakistani establishment is not in our control.
By 'together' i mean pashtuns from both sides.

Because Afghanistan like most of the modern Islamic countries is a fake identity created by the West. Our countries are ill by nature. The Islamic world hasn't developed yet a sense of "nation-state" thats why there is so much difference between what urban Afghans believe and what rural Afghans believe. If you add to that geopolitical games, struggle for influence and natural resources, foreign interventionism, regional rivalries, failure by post-colonial governments, fake Western imposed boundaries, social problems such as demographic explosion and lack of jobs, education and opportunities, you will understand why there is so much war not only in Afghanistan but in the entire Islamic world.

Our countries need deep reforms. Peace won't come by its own, we need to create a proper environment for it to bloom.

Good point, but you need to understand this: if you are an average Pakistani, then I have no problem with you. I respect you, your opinion, your values, the cultural and historical ties that both our people have in common, etc. In that case I apologize for being rude. BUT if you are a Paki nationalist, I hope you die. Dont get me wrong, I hate Afghan nationalists too lol I just hate irrational racist nationalist bigots.

If you are such important how come you are such a basket case and joke around the world? Even countries more war-torn than you like Yemen and Syria publish more scientific articles than you. Don't make that an excuse

Yes but for reforms the peace is needed otherwise the unemployment, poverty and other issues will continue to create problems...I wonder Afghan government when they ask foreigner be it US or Pakistan for bringing Taliban or other on negotiation table...
It would be much easy for them to attain peace if they all sit together and resolve the differences whatever they have.
Every afghan i met blame Pakistan and every Pakistani blame India...
Taliban are afghan,Najib was afghan, Hikmatyar , dostum, Atta are all afghan ..Afghan needs to take the ownership instead of blaming others for there own dis unity and prejudice to each other...Same goes for Paksitan

Those countries you mentioned are at war since less than 10 years?
While Afghanistan is war torn since many decades.
Its obviously that a war torn country since decades e.g. Afghanistan produces less scientists -> less scientific articles than those who are war torn since recently.

You know you're a desperate Paki loser when you search the internet for any little statistic that could paint Afghanistan in a bad light. Meanwhile you claim to be a Pashtun and yet are perfectly happy with the fact that KP's HDI is no higher than Afghanistan's. If stupid people like you didn't enable your leech of a government with your blind and unwavering nationalism, maybe they'd be forced to improve the state of your province beyond a country that has been at war for more than half of Pakistan's existence.

Instead, you'll just happily accept whatever sorry excuse your government will throw at you for its continual failures. And you'd think 70 years would've been long enough for your kind to wake up and smell the daal, but apparently no amount of failure will deter you from accepting your extremely ineffective government.

How about you use your limited brain capacity to look up how long the wars in Yemen and Syria have lasted, and what time-frame that data covered.

Nuclear Power Pakistan with 200 mio Rocket-Scienist Rajeshs has to be atleast in the top 20 (near Iran/Turkey) instead of top 50.
lol Comparing Pakistan with Iran you have to admit that the majority of Indic Pakis are dumb. You procreate like rabbits but you can't replace Quality with Quantity.
Last thing Abdul Kadir Khan was a thief lol.

I can quote several promising young scientists but the most notable recently.

A 17-Year-Old Teen Just Achieved a Scientific First With This Weird Electric Phenomenon
What did you do when you were 17?
MICHELLE STARR 10 OCT 2017
The electric honeycomb, or rose window instability, is a curious phenomenon.

It occurs when a high-voltage corona charge - the ionisation of air surrounding a conductor - is applied from a vertical needle over oil on a steel plate. The surface wrinkles up into a structure resembling a honeycomb, or a rose window - hence the name.


This pattern is an instability caused by the build-up of ions applying pressure to the surface of the low-conductivity oil between the two metal conducting materials as the ions attempt to ground, pushing the oil thinner and thinner so they can get through. But the oil wants to maintain its surface structure, so the pattern forms.

And now, for the first time, someone has photographed the movement of those ions. And that someone is a 17-year-old from Pakistan.

Muhammad Shaheer Niazi (Lahore University of Management Sciences)

High school student Muhammad Shaheer Niazi of Lahore College of Arts and Sciences was assigned the problem of the electric honeycomb at the 2016 International Young Physicists' Tournament in Russia.

Upon returning home, he decided to try and get published - but in order to do so, he needed to contribute to the existing research and knowledge.

"We have to add something new to get published, and I introduced two new factors in the electric honeycomb phenomenon," he said on Pakistani news program NewsWise.

To photograph the movement of the ions, he used a technique called Schlieren photography, an optical method used to see fluid densities. We can't, for example, usually see changes in temperature or gases in the air, but since they refract light they can cast shadows.


When the ions in the electric honeycomb experiment move from the conducting needle, they create a small wind, and it's this that shows up in Niazi's photographs, as seen in the image above.

He also used thermal imaging to photograph the temperature changes over the oil as the honeycombs form, increasing and spreading out from directly under the needle. These temperature changes, the paper notes, are due to residual gas heating and exothermic reactions.

However, they're also somewhat puzzling. No one has measured the temperature before, and according to physicist Alberto T. Pérez Izquierdo, who wrote a paper on electric honeycombs in 1997, the heating effect is larger and less even than expected. More research is required to figure out why.

Niazi's paper has been published in the peer-review journal Royal Society Open Science - perhaps foreshadowing greatness ahead.

"Newton was 17 when his first research got published in the same journal," Niazi said.



Pakistan is above Countries like Indonesia in the List .

KP has been the most transformed province of Pakistan since last four years. It consistently tops polls for improvement in Police, Tourism, Governance and Health Reforms. Its Billion Tree Reform was Hailed as a great success in Bonn conference and by CNN in improving the ecology of the province.

Try to know the Ground reality before any typing any BS . As for painting Afghanistan in bad light, I don't even have to try for that everybody knows it's down the barrel in almost every Index Rankings .

Cherry picking. You are a dumb nation with no excuse.

Country ranked 40th is dumb so what does that make Afghans? A country ranked in 160's ? Afghans around the world are known for their low IQ and being stupid. There is a reason that in most top Universities around the world you will see Pakistani students in Engineering, Science and Physics and then you will have Afghans in your normal run of the mill universities studying arts or history because there is no brain capacity to study any hardcore Scientific or Engineering Subjects.

The Americans don't even trust you to fly a normal helicopter. Alot of the times you have bombed your own soldiers while trying to target Talibs.

[Samandri]

Afghans around the world are known for their low IQ and being stupid.

Indian-Mohajirs and Punjabis say the same thing about Pashtuns of Pakistan, that they are stupid and people with low IQ. They call you "akhroat" and crack jokes in which you are depicted as "bewakoof".
