Taliban rule:Arms 'bush market' started on Pak-Afghan border, after decades the business of arms smugglers so fast

 

This market has been around since 2001, when the US sent troops to Afghanistan. Now it is also known as Sitara-Jahangir Bazaar.

Arms smugglers expect a boom in business after decades of withdrawal of US-led NATO forces from Afghanistan. Arms traders have resumed contact with their contacts on both sides of the 2,600-km-long border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. There has been no law on the Pak-Afghan border for the last several decades. Only tribal fighting law works here.

In this area related to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, whether American M-4 pistol or any other weapon, hand-delivery is done as soon as the order is placed. There are also Chinese weapons and weapons made in their factory in the game Pass Adam. They are sold in the bush market on the Pak-Afghanistan border. In 2001, when the US sent troops to Afghanistan, it was named Bush Bazaar. Now it is also known as Sitara-Jahangir Bazaar.

Booking on Video Call, Delivery in Very Short Time
Ahmed, a weapon survivor at the Pak-Afghan border, nowadays makes bookings over video calls on his smart phone. Ahmed says that whatever weapon is in demand, we make it available to the buyer in a very short time. Ahmed, who has been in the arms business for nearly two decades, says that further growth is expected in the coming days.

Made in China weapons are also available in the market, cheap but not reliable
. A supplier of weapons, Khalid, says that Chinese weapons, including American weapons, are also available in the Bush market. Khalid says that till about two decades ago, Soviet weapons were also sold but now these weapons are not available. Now Chinese weapons are also easily available in the bush market, they are cheap but not at all reliable.

They also used to loot the hills from the containers coming from Karachi to Afghanistan,
when the NATO forces were stationed in Afghanistan, during that period the consignments of weapons reached Karachi, the port of Pakistan. From here, the stock was loaded in containers and transported to NATO base in Afghanistan via Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by road. The fighters ambushed on this route used to loot the containers. At times, the containers arriving at the NATO base were halved or did not reach.
