Correction:
Citizen of Afghanistan is "Afghan" not Afghanistani.
If your friend doesn't like to call herself Afghan, you simply write of 'Tajik origin' but please don't disrespect someone's country's name and constitution.

"Our dealing with Pashtuns was
a gentleman's game. No matter
how poor a Pashtun was, he
might meet the King of England
or the Viceroy of India but he'd
look him in the eye and shake
hands with him as if to say, I'm
as good a man as you are."

- Give Saraikis their rights. They aren't Punjabis
- Baluchistan was independent even before pakistan
- Kashmir and Gilgit baltistan was invaded in 1948
- Sindhis are also not happy under Punjabi rule.
Final Solution for Afghanistan
-Annex Wakhan for access to Tajikistan and unification of Wakhi People
-Creation of 50KM Buffer Zone for relocation of refugees
-Free Khorasan
-Herat Free State as a trade hub to allow projects such as TAPI pipeline to be built with no restrictions
