The Durand Line, drawn by British India in 1893, divides Pashtun tribes & is rejected by Afghanistan as a permanent border. This issue has led to border closures & fueled Pashtunistan movements. 🏞️💥

Islamabad sought "strategic depth" w/ Taliban's return in '21 🤝 but fundamental issues persist. Kabul rejects the Durand Line, & Pakistan fears "Pashtunistan" ⛰️. Accusations of sheltering TTP abound. #DurandLine #TTP

Pakistan accuses Taliban of sheltering TTP terrorists 😠. Kabul resents Rawalpindi treating it like a puppet. Meanwhile, peaceful rights groups like Pashtun Tahafuz Movement are ignored 🤫. #Taliban #TTP #Pashtunistan

Islamabad saw the Taliban's return in 2021 as a chance for "strategic depth" 📈. But historical issues persist: Kabul rejects the Durand Line, & Pakistan fears "Pashtunistan" 🤔. #Geopolitics #StrategicDepth

Asia: 🇮🇳 Kashmir / Punjab / Nagaland

Pashtuns belongs to Pashtonistan . Pashtunistan is my country. Pashtunistan is like paradise for me
We do not accept Pakistani colonial occupation of Pashtunistan

The American-Taliban alliance will liberate East Turkistan and greater Pashtunistan for the umma

Where is Pashtunistan? A 1950s map of Pashtunistan reveals colonial boundaries & postcolonial national identity struggles. In Ep. 1 of Maps with Mark, SFS Prof Mark Giordano explores the map's relevance to Pakistan, Afghanistan & South Asia today.

The 'Pashtunistan' issue goes back to British colonial policies, namely the border line ('Durand line') drawn between the British Raj and Afghanistan in 1893; the case plays a major role in B. Hopkins' fascinating book 'Ruling the Savage Periphery':

After the formation of Pakistan in 1947, the government of Afghanistan strongly promoted the separation of the Pashtu areas (Pashtunistan) from Pakistan, including the celebration of a yearly 'National Pashtunistan Day' on Aug 31. It has left us lots of interesting postal stamps.

We highlight the mechanisms driving our findings via applications to diverse representative cases including Jerusalem (Israel-Jordan), Nagorno-Karabakh (Armenia-Azerbaijan), Northern Ireland (Ireland-Britain), Pashtunistan (Afghanistan-Pakistan), and the Preah Vihear dispute (Cambodia-Thailand). 6/6
