On November 12, 1893, Mortimer Durand, Foreign Secretary of British India, and Abdur Rahman Khan, Amir of Afghanistan,
signed the Durand Line Agreement, establishing what is now the international border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
As a result of this treacherous partition, the Pukhtoon people have paid an immeasurable cost. For more than a century now,
the Pukhtoon people, tribes, families and homes divided by this border have suffered from war, famine, displacements,
sanctions, and other untold extents of human misery. They have been successfully victimized by the British, Russia and
the United States (3 known superpowers of modern history), and their regional allies Pakistan, Iran, India & the oil rich Middle Eastern
states in the name of modernity, democracy, freedom, terrorism, religion, and human rights etc. all the while acting as willing
and activate participants in the ethnic cleansing of the Pukhtoon people on both sides of the "border".
Remember this date/day in whatever fashion you like, but as Pukhtoons, know this, without the elimination of this border, the game
being played with your people, will not end. If it continues as it is, it will become the end of you.
