We're all Pashtuns living on both sides of the border.

普什图族人都分布在边境两边。

Many of which like the Uzbeks, Tajiks and Pashtuns straddled the country's borders.

其中有许多人像乌兹别克人、塔吉克人和普什图人，都跨越了这个国家的边界。

And the Pashtuns largely treat the Afghan-Pakistan border the very same way.

普什图人在很大程度上也以同样的方式对待阿富汗-巴基斯坦边境。

The relationship with neighboring Pakistan is complex and Pashtuns insurgents can easily cross the border and regroup without much fear.

阿富汗与邻国巴基斯坦的关系很复杂，普什图叛乱分子可以轻松越过边境并在没有太多恐惧的情况下重新集结人群。

The border between Afghanistan and Pakistan runs directly through the Pashtuns tribal area and divides the 60 million Pashtuns people between both countries.

阿富汗和巴基斯坦之间的边界直接穿过普什图部落地区，将两国之间的 6000 万普什图人分隔开来。

This has allowed Pashtuns insurgents operating within Afghanistan the valuable ability to easily escape across the border into the friendly Pashtuns areas of Pakistan.

这使得在阿富汗境内活动的普什图叛乱分子有了重要的能力，可以轻松越过边境逃到巴基斯坦友好的普什图地区。

And it's made all the easier by many of the Pashtuns of Pakistan being more sympathetic to the Afghan or Taliban cause.

巴基斯坦的许多普什图人更支持阿富汗或塔利班的动机，这让一切变得更加容易。

The Pashtuns make up nearly half of Afghanistan's population today but two-thirds of all Pashtuns live next door in neighboring Pakistan and are a minority group there.

如今，普什图人占阿富汗人口的近一半，但三分之二的普什图人生活在邻国巴基斯坦，是那里的少数民族。
