#4 The US must change the nature of dealings with the Pakis-they never were friends and never will be. The border issue has to be readdressed:
SOLUTION
Afghanistan and Balochistan should form a legal team to challenge the illegal occupation of Afghan territories and Balochistan by Pakistan in the International Court of Justice. Once the Durand Line Agreement is declared illegal, it will result in the return of Pakistan-occupied territories back to Afghanistan. Also, Balochistan will be declared a country that was forcibly invaded through use of force by the Pakistanis; and with international assistance, Balochistan can regain its independence. It is the right time to act now because the US and Allied forces in Afghanistan are positioned to facilitate the enforcement of the CourtÂ’s judgment.
After Pakistan vacates territories belonging to Afghanistan and Balochistan, a new boarder should be demarked amicably to determine Baloch dominated areas to become the new Balochistan, and Pashtun dominated areas to be merged into Afghanistan. And, with the help of the US and Allied forces, the Afghans and the Baloch forces can flush out members of Al-Qaeda and Talebans from their respective countries.
A wise observer once said, “Pakistan is a completely superfluous and artificially created spot on the world map that has become a breeding ground for extremism, and trouble that would be best done away with.”

PESHAWAR: The government forced local Taliban to close down their two-day-old office in Miranshah, a spokesman for the Governor's FATA Secretariat revealed in a press statement. He said that though the tribesmen clarified that the office "was not set up to run a parallel administration" in the agency, the issue still remained in the media. The spokesman added, "This measure of closing down the office proves that the tribesmen are fully committed to implementing the peace accord in letter and spirit."
