In a very stark reversal of roles, Afghanistan it seems has turned out to be a shelter providing country for Pakistanis fleeing Pakistan. In a shocking bit of news today, it has come to light that, thousands of Pakistani Pashtuns had to flee the country after an unprovoked attack was mounted on them.

Unbelievable as it seems, the Pakistan Army and the Pakistan Air Force collaborated yesterday and led a joint attack on their own citizens residing in the Pakistani region of Waziristan. Waziristan is a mountainous region covering the North Waziristan and South Waziristan agencies,  After the unprovoked attack was launched, thousands of Pakistanis fled the country and crossed the border to seek refuge in Afghanistan. They have all been set up temporarily in the Khost area of Afghanistan.
