I følge pakistanske Frontier Post, er det avtalt at Afghanistan skal
utpinast over vinteren, før Russland og USA skal gå inn og ta kvar sin bit.

ISLAMABAD: Washington and
Moscow has reached an
understanding to divide
Afghanistan along ethnic lines, The
Frontier Post learnt on Wednesday.
The move has been prompted by the US failure to make any
tangible dent in
the Taliban power, well placed sources told this scribe.
The understanding reached between US and Russia on the
issue is
three-pronged.
Firstly, both countries have agreed to launch a joint
ground attack along with
the Northern Alliance forces against the Taliban
positions and eliminate them
completely.
Russian forces would join the operation from the north
and the US forces from
the South of Afghanistan.
These ground operations are scheduled for March next
year, the sources said.
In the second phase Russia would hold the northern part
and the Americans
the southern part of Afghanistan.
The Pentagon plans to establish its military bases in
Herat and Russian in the
North of the country.
In the third phase the political dispensation would be
based on ethnic lines
and a broad based government dominated by Tajik and Uzbek
elements will
be installed.
The sources have said that such a dispensation would be
unacceptable to
Pakistan, Iran and other important regional countries.
Pakistan has always advocated territorial integrity of
Afghanistan and
establishment of a broad based set up through indigenous
process.
