@miirwais Dar al-Islam’s Closed Doors: From the 1920 Hijrat
Unfortunately, the spirit of warmth and friendliness that greeted the early migrants did not endure. The local population soon turned resentful, and some unscrupulous elements took advantage of the vulnerability of the newcomer

What a sincere neighbour on our west since it's creation ?

In 1920, during the Hijrat Movement, thousands of Indian Muslims (estimates 18,000–60,000) migrated to Afghanistan amid the Khilafat agitation, viewing British India as unsafe for Islam.

Afghanistan's King Amanullah initially welcomed them warmly, offering land and support. However, overwhelmed by numbers and resource strains, the government soon closed borders, denied entry to more, and encouraged many to return. Many migrants faced hardships, with some dying or returning destitute.

Based on sources like UNHCR and World Bank, total aid for Afghan refugees in Pakistan since 1979 is ~$2-3B (e.g., UNHCR $1.1B to 2004, plus later funds). Per refugee/year: ~$50-100 (avg ~2M refugees).

Turkey (Syrians, 3.6M): ~$200-300/year from EU/other aid.

Jordan (Syrians, 0.7M): ~$150-250/year.

Pakistan has received billions in aid for Afghan refugees since 1979, with estimates around $5B total (per donor reports), including $1.1B from UNHCR by 2004. The video's $21.5B claim seems inflated, likely including broader military aid. Relative to refugee numbers, Pakistan gets less per capita than many hosts like Turkey or Jordan.

It has also seen rises in terrorism (e.g., TTP attacks), drug trafficking, and weapons smuggling linked to the border, though not solely due to refugees. Sources show mixed economic contributions and strains.

Al Mirsaad - the official handle of GDI (runs in at least 6-7 languages) is glorifying a terr@aarist Said Akbar (an Afghan). While distorting the history - Let's have a very brief run down of history, just from 1947 -1950 as what Afghanistan did to Pakistan in this time period:

🔹1947: In June, seven weeks before the partition of Sub continent, on behest of Daud Khan in Kabul, some Pashtun leaders were instigated to carry out a Jirga and adapt Bannu Resolution - the first overt step to form up Pashtunistan in the region.
🔹1947: General Muhammad Daud Khan, who later became PM and President of Afghanistan, moved six brigades to cross the border to annex the Pashtun areas during the chaos of Partition (Best example of Muslim Brother ..right?)
🔹August 1947: Afghans provoked Pakistan by not voting for it in UN.
🔹September 1947: Afghans raised the flag of Pashtunistan along with the then Afghan flag. Declaring a war against the newly born Muslim Country. Just on the basis of Pashtun nationalism.
🔹1948-1950 - Faqir of Ipi financed by Afghanistan and India launched first rebellion against Pakistan and started a guerilla warfare. Only to surrender in early 1950s.
🔹1951 : Laiqat Ali Khan Martyred by an Afghan Pashtun sub nationalists and terr@rist Said Akbar.

That's the historical timeline.

All of this was happening, while Muslims were migrating from India to Pakistan - they were been massacred on the east by the forefathers of Hindutva ideologues/activists of today and they were been pushed from the west by a so called elite of brotherly Islamic country. That was the conduct and character of Afghanistan's Pashtun sub nationalists since the start. While Pakistan's army and agencies were forming up its ranks and files, they attacked Pakistan and raised the slogan of Jahiliya. That's the history and fact which they don't want you to learn and read about.

It's time that they are been exposed and we may tell the Muslims of Pakistan about the undercurrents of sub nationalist ideology sometimes covered under the cloaks of religiosity and sometimes under veil of secularism. But at the end, they are always hinging upon their age old mantra of Jahiliya and nothing else.

May Allah give Pakistan enough strength to deal with this Fitna of Sub nationalism once and for all. Aameen

This was posted 3 days ago, there's always an intelligence report that triggers these checks. Least we can do is be cooperative.

[History of Khorâsân and the Persianate World @BiruniKhorasan]

People laughing but for several centuries the Indian Subcontinent was in many ways more Persian than modern Iran, Afghanistan and Transoxiana.

Reminder that Delhi or Lahore produced more Persian literature than Shiraz, Termez, Herat, Samarkand or Kabul.

Almost 2 months ago,Pak handed over 53 dead bodies of TTP fighters who were killed in Zhob while crossing the Pak-Afghan border. Denying the reality that the TTP has safe havens in 🇦🇫 is absurd. In Bajaur, apart from their top leadership, about 80 percent are from 🇦🇫.

[Ismail Khan @IKPeshawar]

Heard the same version from a senior Pakistani diplomat overseeing Afghan affairs. He said that the Pakistanis continue to implore Zaeef to disappear anywhere in Pakistan and keep a low profile but he refused to budge.

[Dr. Nafees Durrani @NafeesRehmanDr]

'Now we're fencing the border because of the allegations that fighters are going from Pakistan there(AFG). We are fencing the border!'

Take a listen what actually Imran Khan said:

'[...] We have 2.7m Afghan refugees in Pakistan[...]. How do we know who is coming in or going out? [...] First of all in the tribal areas bordering Afghanistan, there's no border there. The Durand Line is a line made by the British. There's no border there.
Now we're fencing the border because of the allegations that fighters are going from Pakistan there. We are fencing the border...

Mullah Zaeef's Deception and the revelation of General Ehsan- too little too late?

​A recent video, posted by veteran journalist Tahir Khan sahab, has finally shed light on one of the most controversial diplomatic incidents of the post-9/11 era. The footage features a long-awaited statement from General Ehsan, the former Director-General of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), offering his first public account regarding the disposition of former Taliban Ambassador Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef.

​General Ehsan's remarks constitute a bombshell disclosure, fundamentally challenging the established narrative.

▪️He revealed that Mullah Zaeef, while enjoying sanctuary in Pakistan, became a major source of friction for the Pakistani govt.

▪️For months - not for days or hours, but months, Pakistani officials, employed a mix of soft diplomacy and extreme persistence, trying to resolve the issue. As Pakistan withdrew their recognition of TTA govt, so legally, technically and ethically it was Zaeef's place to be and he has to vacate the premises of embassy.

▪️The General claims that Pakistani authorities repeatedly implored Zaeef, even to the point of a humiliating display of deference, to simply vacate his embassy residence and assume a low-profile existence as a normal Afghan expatriate anywhere within Pakistan’s territory.

▪️​Zaeef, however, was in non-compliance. Instead of accepting the state’s proposal, he continuously engaged with the international press, effectively using his position to conduct a media campaign that severely embarrassed and vexed the Pakistani government.

▪️This protracted standoff ultimately led to a resolution that contradicts the pervasive narrative of betrayal.
​The former DG ISI definitively stated that Pakistan's final action was to escort Zaeef to the Torkham border crossing, where he was formally handed over to the then existing Afghan authorities.

▪️General Ehsan's key takeaway is unambiguous: Pakistan never carried out a rendition of Mullah Zaeef to the United States.

▪️This refutes the long-held claim of a Pakistani betrayal, propagated widely by Zaeef and his sympathetic elements.

▪️​Adding to the complexity, the book detailing Zaeef’s version of events was reportedly first published in India before achieving wider global circulation.

▪️It is noted that Zaeef's credibility is suspect, as he was reportedly not even fully accepted by the Afghan Taliban upon his eventual return to Afghanistan, yet his operational narrative continues to be leveraged by such entities and certain domestic political and media constituencies to undermine Pakistan's state standing and stature.

▪️​ How there is now a grievance from General Ehsan and the Pakistani officialdom. If this wasn't a strategic communication failure, then what was? Given that the factual matrix of the case was known for nearly a quarter of a century, why was the official counter-narrative wasn't thrown out?

▪️This prolonged information vacuum allowed a false story to be successfully weaponized, contributing to the radicalization of youth and the fomenting of insurgency.

This is on us - that we failed to reveal such details and now paying the price or established falsehood as a gospel of truth.
