Here is some simple arithmetic.
There are about 60 million Pashtun people in the whole world.
Of this number, 13 million Pashtuns live inside Afghanistan.
So 13 million Pashtuns in Afghanistan can have their own country.
45 million more Pashtuns live inside Pakistan - along the border areas with Afghanistan. In these border areas the population is almost 100% Pashtun.
So the 45 million Pashtuns in Pakistan do not have their own country.
And the Great Satan British drew the artificial border (the Durand Line) separating the 13 million Pashtuns inside Afghanistan from the 45 million Pashtuns inside Pakistan.
There is a growing yearning for the 45 million strong Pashtun areas in Pakistan and the 13 million Pashtuns in Afghanistan to unite as one country.
This is what is happening.
Let the fighting begin.
