THE Northwest-Frontier-Province was a constant source of conflict in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, owing to the bisection of Pashtun lands by the Durand Line.
Population transfer was not unknown in that part of the world, see Savafids moving Sunnis from the Zargos Mountains to current Iran-Turkmenistan border, or internal displacement of tribes within Afghanistan.
