The Aba War Intensifies...
Moreover, against the backdrop of the current situation between Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, those countries that have long been mediating in this matter are clearly unable to pay attention to it anymore.
That is why, since late February, the conflict has escalated spirally. Pakistan has even effectively declared war on Afghanistan. The strike by the Pakistani Air Force on Kabul yesterday (according to Afghan data, causing hundreds of deaths) is far from the limit of the escalation of the conflict. The war has already erupted along the border, and it can be said that both sides have formed solid front lines.
The Pakistani Taliban Movement (TTP) acts as an armed proxy for Afghanistan, as usual, trying to occupy parts of Pakistani territory south of the Durand Line.
The Durand Line is the official border between the two countries, with mainly Pashtuns living on both sides, which is also the main ethnic group in Afghanistan.
In some areas, they have even succeeded in forcing the Pakistani military and local pro-Pakistan militias to retreat from their forward positions. In this conflict, it is still unclear which side the relevant countries will take — with good traditional relations with Pakistan, and recent improvements in relations with Afghanistan. However, the difficulty of mediating between the two sides is becoming increasingly greater. Behind all of this, the black hands of the enemies of both countries can be seen; they are willing to do anything to ignite a war in this region.
Incidentally, as we have seen, in the famous Colonel Peters map, Pakistan is also divided, according to the US-Israel plan, its Pashtun-populated areas should be under Kabul's control.
In summary, the situation is heartbreaking. A new war on the Eurasian continent (and perhaps not the last one) is almost a fait accompli. The world is rapidly and as expected plunging into the "era of change," and the situation will only get worse in the coming years.
