These interests are monopolised by groups wanted in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, and these are historical interests that led to many Pakistani joining the incipient Al Qaeda and conducting terrorist attacks in India and Pakistan prior to the 9/11.
These groups actions have conditioned Pakistan military intervention in Afghanistan and is not beneficial to the healing of the Afghan people . The nation itself needs healing and Pakistan support to the Afghan conflict has been historically conditioned by the problems Pakistan has at the borders between the two countries and in his own territory.
I feel that the Afghan war has not impacted in Pakistan so much as the Pakistan intervention , affiliated to border tribalism, has affected the Afghan conflict. The matter of the refugees is of concern because in the case of Somali refugees in Pakistan , many when arriving in London were already radicalised, so I am wondering if the radicalisation of refugees is not being made at ultra sonic speed.
Perhaps other perspective I would point is that Pakistan is not strange to conflict, Kashmir disputed conflict with India is a perfect example, so how neutral has been Pakistan and India in their intervention in Afghanistan and if we can say , not neutral at all, then how negative was this?
I feel that the Afghan conflict proved to be a profitable market to Pakistan and India military industry and profit was made by these countries and by China as well , so these countries should be kept away from Afghanistan.
Amnesty International also has reported extensively on Pakistan, India and American troops illegal detentions, arrests and torture of innocent citizens, of their lack of support to farmers who are forced to join armed groups like Indians joined ISIS and Afghans joined Iraq terrorist groups, so again , how can we say that Pakistan and India Governments really care about the people and the war in Afghanistan had an impact on them when there were no humanitarian interests only profitable military armament interests and ambition to achieve an international protagonist status of a higher order?

Might be a co-worker, someone being mentored, someone being protected, might be a wife, a girlfriend, someone who is needed on the " Yes darling right away, thank you master!" or might be someone who will wake up from a nightmare envisioning getting raped while she felt paralysed and unable to move, yet to her dismay the nightmare was real but she can't recall properly.
Yes, the hypnotic drugs Bill Cosby confessed to have used in his victims can be all that, after all serves multi purposes and have different names and chemical compositions within the same family of drugs, but one thing is certain, men are not the only ones doing it.
Adoptive and foster mothers are asking doctors to prescribe tranquilizers and sedatives to adopted and foster sons and daughters so the abuse at hers and her husband's hands is more well accepted, men are planting the drugs in drinks served in friends cafés and pubs without knowledge of the victim, and women are being found in hotels and parks without recollection of what happened to them.
But what happened to them is that as this drug becomes more and more available online and groups of men are now selling the drug as an aphrodisiac to husbands and men in power of women, women are left without any reasonable answers as to why men like Bill Cosby are being released on the basis of a technicality.
Are we women suppose to accept this as if we are , well are all collectively sedated with tranquilisers and unable to defend ourselves physically of any assault or are we going to the streets to protest and demand justice?
I hope we women mark our presence in protests for more justice for women!
How can we stop the telemarketing and sale of this product online as it is occurring in India?

Though only rarely I miss the magazine I created and run " AFGHANISTAN UK BRIDGE", I cannot help but rejoice at the prospects of the American troops and Allies leaving the country, as the tribes will work together to secure peace in the country.
The only tribes who might pose problems are the tribes where Pakistani ( who share a language with Indians) are already infiltrated and prepared to wage war against the Government and the Taliban.
I must say that Turkish military is quite good at fighting and containing insurrection and separatist movements as the Kurdish nation knows that well, but what we also know is that the Kurdish and the Turkish worked together to defeat ISIS.
Both Turkey and the Kurdish nation have experienced direct conflicts with Russia, Turkey particularly several maritime conflicts, so these military forces are aware of the potential threat Russia presence might pose in opening colonial scars in Afghanistan, a country invaded by Russia in more than one occasion.
What is really important is that Afghans realise that turbulence, terrorist attacks will not go away because ISIS ( the dead ISIS and whoever is behind it) really will see this American withdrawal as an opportunity to cash in in random community attacks, either dressed as State police or the Taliban, by other words, the trend will be divide and micro reduce the communities to the max because Afghan tribal communities can with the help of elders and leaders quickly recover economically and engage in activities that lead to prosperity and law and order, what will save the Taliban the work of placing their troops in the ground.
The Taliban, in my humble opinion, does not benefit from attacking villages, unless there are too many threats to the future establishment of a society in the models of Saudi Arabia or Qatar where women have to be covered, there is more social shininess etc.
What is important is that Afghans know that Turkey is a successful country with a military presence in Afghanistan and therefore success will come to Afghans as well.
Not to speak of the benefits of relating and engaging with Central Asia and leaving behind China, Pakistan and India.
The success of the Afghan people depends of developing strong ties with Turkey, Central Asia and Saudi Arabia and putting aside- cutting off completely - China, India and Pakistan.
There is an old saying " Tell me who are your friends and I will tell you who you are!"
Now is the time for Afghans to look at their own country and think of how the country will be in the future, based in their friendships and role models for the region.
What I learnt from editing and writing the magazine AFGHANISTAN UK BRIDGE is that Afghanistan is not what it looks, is not poor , is a tremendously rich country with people who will not face any racial discrimination because Afghans are white,- salve exception of mixed Pakistani with Indian and Mongols , they are not really pure Asians,-,they are also partially Arab , so Afghans have no excuses not to integrate themselves with Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Central Asia and the financial hubs of Qatar.
Is their call if they are going to see the sun shine in their country or switch the light off for their future.
Best wishes,
