Taliban bleeding Pak Forces, skirmishes as Afghans reject border demarcation

Taliban infuriated by a fence Pakistan is erecting along the 2,700KM shared border. Almost all Afghan governments have refused to accept the Colonial-era border demarcation. The Durand Line runs through the mountainous border, splitting tribes on either side. Despite Pak ties, Taliban refused to accept the Durand Line in the past & now as well. Border dispute has led to periodic skirmishes and tensions between Pak & Afghan forces. Pak has fenced a major portion of its border to prevent influx of militants & migrants.
