[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The former Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai
... A former Baltimore restaurateur, 12th President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004.

has said Pakistain had demanded recognition of Durand Line as the formal international border between Afghanistan and Pakistain during his presidency.

He said the demands were made by the then Pak President on numerous occasions.

Karzai further added that Pakistain will seek more influence and seize more lands of Afghanistan if the Durand Line was accepted as the international border.
