Amrullah Saleh, the former First Vice President of Afghanistan, has shared recent memoirs about his past life in Peshawar, stating that despite political issues and tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan, he holds only fond memories of the culture and character of the people of Pashtunkhwa [4](https://file://%D9%BE%D8%A7%D9%BE_%D9%85%D8%A8%D8%AA%D9%84%D8%A7_%D8%A8%D9%87_%D8%B3%D8%B1%D8%B7%D8%A7%D9%86_%D8%B4%D9%8F%D8%B4_%D8%AA%D8%B4%D8%AE%DB%8C%D8%B5_%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%87_%D9%88.txt).
In his recollections, Mr. Saleh mentioned his residency in the Hayatabad area and described his host, a dignified man from the Bannu region, whom they referred to as "Nik Sahib." According to Saleh, this host was exceptionally respectful, always knocking on the door and waiting for confirmation before entering their living quarters [4](https://file://%D9%BE%D8%A7%D9%BE_%D9%85%D8%A8%D8%AA%D9%84%D8%A7_%D8%A8%D9%87_%D8%B3%D8%B1%D8%B7%D8%A7%D9%86_%D8%B4%D9%8F%D8%B4_%D8%AA%D8%B4%D8%AE%DB%8C%D8%B5_%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%87_%D9%88.txt).
He added that the family of his martyred other, including his nephew named "Shorish," also lived with him in that house. Both his host and the local people showed great respect towards his family [4](https://file://%D9%BE%D8%A7%D9%BE_%D9%85%D8%A8%D8%AA%D9%84%D8%A7_%D8%A8%D9%87_%D8%B3%D8%B1%D8%B7%D8%A7%D9%86_%D8%B4%D9%8F%D8%B4_%D8%AA%D8%B4%D8%AE%DB%8C%D8%B5_%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%87_%D9%88.txt).
Saleh praised Peshawar's conservative and tradition-based culture, stating that he never felt like a foreigner while living in the city [4](https://file://%D9%BE%D8%A7%D9%BE_%D9%85%D8%A8%D8%AA%D9%84%D8%A7_%D8%A8%D9%87_%D8%B3%D8%B1%D8%B7%D8%A7%D9%86_%D8%B4%D9%8F%D8%B4_%D8%AA%D8%B4%D8%AE%DB%8C%D8%B5_%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%87_%D9%88.txt).
He emphasized that while political stances and conflicts between nations are a separate matter, the hospitality and good conduct of the people of Pashtunkhwa are forever memorable [4](https://file://%D9%BE%D8%A7%D9%BE_%D9%85%D8%A8%D8%AA%D9%84%D8%A7_%D8%A8%D9%87_%D8%B3%D8%B1%D8%B7%D8%A7%D9%86_%D8%B4%D9%8F%D8%B4_%D8%AA%D8%B4%D8%AE%DB%8C%D8%B5_%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%87_%D9%88.txt). These memories highlight a personal dimension of people-to-people relations amid the political tensions between the two countries.
These reflections come at a time of strained relations between the Taliban government and Pakistan over border and security issues, offering a look back at the human connections that have existed across the Durand Line.
