Peace will gradually be followed by economic stability, and better living standards for the people of Afghanistan will be encouraging the repatriation of the refugees from Pakistan and other countries.
But Mohmand worried that the international community has slowly and gradually forgotten the decades-long tragic issue of Afghan refugees. "With the emergence of new refugee population in other parts of the world, Afghan refugee crisis has been overshadowed."
Pakistani analysts believe that the story of Afghan refugees encamped in Pakistan is of high human emotions, pragmatic financial considerations, stubborn realties, transforming generational link and above all of an issue which was silently yelling to wake world's conscience.
Abdul Jamal, a 17-year-old college student, only knows a little about Afghanistan through books or internet as he was born and bred in Pakistan. However, he visited all provinces of Pakistan, knows a lot about the history and geography of the country. He loves to sing Pakistani songs, celebrates the country's Independence Day in his school in Islamabad. He supports Pakistani cricket team, and is more heartbroken than anyone when the team loses its match.
"I feel deeply hurt when someone tells me that it is not my country. I don't understand why a place where you live and you love cannot be your home, only because it doesn't belong to you in documents," he said.
