Afghanistan initiated the arming and financing of proxies in the border regions of Waziristan and Khyber, namely Afridi Sarishtas and Ipi Faqir, under the banner of 'Liberation of Pashtunistan'. Consequently, numerous skirmishes erupted between Pakistani security forces and Afghan-backed proxies.https://www.afghanstudiescenter.org/timeline-history-of-pak-afghan-relations-a-pakistani-perspective-1947-1979/ history of Pakistan-Afghanistan relations 30 May 2019Kaur 1985 108-109 Aftermath A tribal council was held by Afghan government in the capital Kabul which declared all treaties related to Durand Line as null and void and thus declared full support for Pashtunistan.https://www.afghanistantimes.af/durand-line-in-a-glance-is-durand-deal-still-valid/ Is Durand line still valid This was accompanied by further financial and military aid to separatists including the establishment of an arms factory.
