Sydney-based university lecturer Dr. Ehsan Azari has done much research in the controversial borderline between Afghanistan and Pakistan.He has asked for some information on the lines agreement from the government of Great Britain.Dr. Azari says that there is a lack of clear information on the signed agreement and has also said that the Durand line is the main cause of terrorism in the region.Describing the Afghanistan-Pakistan region as the breeding ground for international terrorism, European Parliament (EP) Vice President Ryszard Czarnecki has said there is a need for the European Union and the United States to review their respective Afghan policy to foster long-term peace in the region, rather than pouring millions of Euros in aid to Afghanistan and trying to win a war that cannot be won.In an opinion piece titled "Time to Revisit the Durand Line" published in EP Today, Czarnecki warned that Pakistan will continue to interfere and destabilize areas across the Durand Line, with the objective of retaining control over it as it borders Afghanistan. He suggests that there is an immediate need for the west to take a hard look at this artificial border and restore the natural and historical frontier between these two countries for the sake of peace in the region.Please listen to the full interview here.
