Wali khan in his book mentions a conversation he had with Zahir Shah, where he ask the King what Afghanistan means by Pashtunistan…an independent state, part of Afghanistan? Or more resource and freedom under Pakistan…the king referred him to prime minster….Wail khan further writes that if the King didn’t knew the answer he was not naïve to except the minster will.
Ethnic tension and militancy is of recent coming in Afghanistan….If you’d really like to learn about ethnic conflict, then look no further than Pakistan, Iraq or even Iran to get a better perspective. The total sum of violence between battling militias in during 90s Kabul aren’t equivalent to the extreme violence experienced in Iraq during a single month….or what is happening in Baluchistan or Waziristan…and it would get a whole lot worse if the state didn’t exits like it did in Afghanistan… Now THAT’S what I’d call ethnic conflict.
