How Did Afghanistan’s Borders Take Shape? Afghanistan’s borders were shaped by history and diplomacy drawn through treaties, not conquest. Its frontiers with Iran, Central Asia, and China were peacefully settled and mutually recognized. Yet, the Durand Line with Pakistan, agreed in 1893 and reaffirmed later, remains disputed for political...

Time for Kabul to recognize Balochistan independence and reclaim on Pashtunistan 22 February 2026 Afghanistan is a sovereign nation, rich in geography and natural resources, possessing all the necessary means for rapid development and prosperity. Yet, time and again, Pakistan has obstructed Afghanistan’s path toward progress, stability, and lasting peace. For Kabul, the moment has arrived when only one decisive option remains: to put an end to Pakistan’s repeated violations of Afghan airspace and to reclaim the vast territories that, by force, remain under Pakistan’s control. The artificial Durand Line an imposed colonial boundary must be erased, and decisive steps must be taken to reunite Pashtunistan and Southern Pashtunistan with Afghanistan, burying forever the legacy of British imperial division. Until Afghanistan regains its historic lands under Pakistan’s occupation, no matter which political party governs in Kabul, Pakistan will not cease its aerial and other forms of interference in Afghan affairs. Afghanistan has defeated powerful invading empires throughout history. If Afghan forces were to abolish the Durand Line and extend their borders toward Balochistan and near Islamabad, the peoples of Balochistan and Sindh would stand in defense of their lands and airspace, bringing an end to Pakistan’s continued interference in Afghanistan. By recognizing Balochistan as an independent country, Afghanistan could free itself from Pakistan’s economic coercion and expand its direct trade through Gwadar Port, ushering in economic transformation and paving the way for durable peace in the region. Afghanistan and Balochistan, through the strength of their people, have already challenged Pakistan’s military power. Today, Pakistan relies primarily on air strikes. If Afghanistan unites with other like-minded countries particularly India that have suffered from Pakistan’s terrorism and proxy wars and destabilizing actions and succeeds in reclaiming occupied territories, Pakistan would face severe economic and political consequences. Its vast military structure would confront an uncertain future, as the balance of power in the region shifts decisively.

#Pakistan –Afghanistan Trade Suspension: A Strategic Move Strengthening Pakistan’s Security and Economic Interests Pakistan’s decision to close the Afghan border on 11 October 2025 is not a reactionary measure, but a deliberate and well-considered step aimed at reforming the entire trade and transit system. Pakistan has shut all routes that had become primary channels for smuggling, narcotics, illegal weapons, and terrorism. This trade suspension is a landmark decision with far-reaching implications for national security, economic stability, and the enforcement of state authority. Impact on Afghanistan Afghanistan is bearing the brunt of this closure—economically, socially, and institutionally. Nearly 70–80% of Afghanistan’s trade depends on Pakistan’s roads and ports. Goods reach Afghanistan from Karachi within 3–4 days, whereas via Iran they take 6–8 days, and through Central Asian corridors they may take over 30 days. For years, goods under Afghan Transit Trade were illegally re-entering Pakistan through smuggling, causing massive financial losses. Pakistan has been losing 3.4 trillion PKR annually due to smuggling, while nearly 1 trillion PKR worth of goods bounced back through Afghan Transit Trade, compounding the damage. The closure of Torkham alone inflicted $45 million losses on Afghanistan within one month, and in just a few weeks, Afghanistan’s cumulative losses exceeded $200 million. Over 5,000 trucks were stranded, Afghan agricultural produce spoiled, and transport costs via Iran rose 50–60%, with an additional $2,500 per container. Even the medical supply chain suffered, as over 50% of Afghanistan’s medicines transit through Pakistan. Alternative routes are slow, expensive, and insecure, and Afghanistan’s fragile economy cannot sustain these burdens. As smuggling stopped, more than 200,000 families tied to smuggling networks, backflow routes, and under-invoicing lost their source of income. Impact on Pakistan The trade suspension has almost no effect on the daily life of an average Pakistani, because the items entering Pakistan through smuggling were luxury goods, not essential commodities. Pakistan, on the other hand, has robust alternatives, including CPEC routes and direct land connectivity with China, ensuring continuity of legitimate trade. By blocking illicit routes, Pakistan is dismantling smuggling networks, curbing arms and narcotics trafficking, and reducing the movement of terror operatives. Regional Rebalancing & Long-Term Gains The closure will push Afghanistan’s trade—previously concentrated in eastern provinces like Paktia—toward alternative corridors such as Iran and Central Asia, promoting diversification and economic inclusivity within Afghanistan. In the long term—5 to 10 years—Pakistan will benefit from a cleaner, regulated, and more secure regional trade architecture. The Road Ahead The Afghan Taliban must now choose: Will they continue sheltering terrorists, or join Pakistan in a cooperative path toward regional stability and shared economic progress? Pakistan’s strategy is clear: secure borders, regulated trade, and zero tolerance for smuggling and terrorism—a policy that ultimately strengthens both states’ futures.

Afghanistan Will Lose Its Current Geography in Emerging Regional Order,” Warns SSASI Director Maria Sultan Maria Sultan, Director of the South Asian Strategic Stability Institute (SSASI), has said that Afghanistan will lose its present geographical and political shape in the evolving regional environment. According to Sultan, Afghanistan’s existing state structure is unlikely to survive in its current form, arguing that the country lacks a unified national identity and centralized governance. She stated that while Afghanistan is home to Tajiks, Uzbeks, and Pashtuns, these groups do not necessarily identify under a single ‘Afghan national’ framework. Sultan stressed that understanding the current realities of Afghanistan requires a fundamental shift in perspective, noting that the country no longer functions as a unitary state. She described Afghanistan as a loose collection of border regions whose economic and strategic lifelines are increasingly connected to neighboring countries rather than Kabul. “The centrifugal tendencies within Afghanistan are deeply institutionalized,” she said, adding that provinces bordering Iran, Pakistan, and Central Asian states maintain stronger trade, social, and political ties with neighboring countries than with the central government. Referring to the recent border deal between tribal elders in Nuristan and Kunar and Pakistan, the perception has emerged that the Taliban no longer exercises effective authority over Afghanistan’s border regions. #aamajnews
