In the region where the artificial border "Durand line" was drawn by the British colonialist between Afghanistan and Pakistan; both countries are under the economic subservience of the west. Both governments condone and support the brutality upon the Mujahedeen through military operations and drone strikes. Both these governments have given a free hand to the intelligence agencies and their private contractors i.e. Blackwater, Raymond Davis Network and Michael Sample, to create a War of Fitnah among the Muslim Ummah, and the Muslim armies and Mujahedeen. Such heinous crimes are orchestrated by the joint intelligence committees of US, Pakistan and Afghanistan. All this is done to make sure that the Ummah is kept divided and they continue ruling over us.

During the Afghan Jihad against Soviet Union, the people of Pakistan use to call themselves as Ansar. This relationship further fortified when the Muslims of Afghanistan and Pakistan were connected by business and family relationships. This close link between the Muslims toppled the evil motives of the Soviet Union. That is the reason why the policy of division based on Nationalism has been initiated by the colonialists in order to create tension and hostility between the Muslims of Afghanistan and Pakistan. On top of this, puppet and corrupt rulers have been installed upon the Muslims who are loyal to U.S. and NATO and to their regional objectives, than their own people. These rulers are forced to establish cordial relations with India and hostile relations with other Muslim countries in the region, so that to help U.S. achieve it greater objective in the region which is to strengthen India against China.

On the other hand, the corrupt ruler of both Afghanistan and Pakistan is giving statements that are further deteriorating the situation and are inciting the emotions and feelings of their population against each other. Such negative propaganda is paving the way for Afghans to look towards Hindu India and establish health, education, trade, military and other such relations against their Muslims brothers in Pakistan. The corrupt Pakistani regime is also chasing Afghans and harassing them, which is unprecedented in history. Similarly, Afghan law enforcement agencies are harassing the people of Pakistan visiting Afghanistan. So for so that small scale skirmishes happen between Afghan and Pakistan forces on the border area, which serve no other purpose than that of the colonialist America.

In order to resolve this issue, no serious efforts have been made by both the regimes. Though they do have security meetings with U.S. and without lip service nothing has happened to stop this. The special envoy of U.S. for Pak-Afg relations James Dobbins frequently meet both sides but is avoiding to find out the cause of this tension and to have a serious talk about it. The US ambassador in Kabul considers it a bilateral issue between the two countries and should be resolved between them. Which in other words means that this should linger for as long as possible, so that it has been used to provoke hatred amongst the Muslims on both sides.

After 9/11, U.S. and NATO forced Pakistan to dismantle the Kashmir Jihad and deploy their forces on Pak-Afghan border, in order to stop the movement of Mujahedeen on both sides. U.S. knows very well that it was the same Waziristan area that played a vital role in Jihad against British troops, than U.S.S.R. and now against U.S. invasion. Waziristan has been the hot tub historically for the Mujahedeen to launch their offense against the enemies.

Lastly, Muslims in the region should identify the divide and rule policy of the colonialist invaders and the policies of Nawaz/Raheel and Karzai regimes, so that they are not deceived further. It is the time to join hands with Hizb ut Tahrir to unify the Muslims of this region as well as the Ummah globally. The only system that could stop the colonization and corruption of U.S. NATO and their puppet regimes is the establishment of the Islamic Khilafah "Caliphate", which is the only way to end the hegemony of the Kuffar upon the Muslim Ummah.
