  Yusufzai :: Khyber.ORG
The position of the Yousafzai on the main road of the communication between these two empires, would naturally ensure for it to participate in the political vicissitudes of each; and, of such having been the case, the ruins and antiquities which at this day abound in all parts of the country, are the mute witnesses.
The Yousafzai's who had never yet succeeded in occupying the whole of Swat, seized this opportunity for the advancement of their own interests, and formed an alliance with the Lamghanis, or Lughmanis, and both together ousted the Bajawaris and Barr Swatis, and appropriated their lands.
When the Mughals entered the Yousafzai land, the Yousafzai once again retreated to the hills, but this time the Mughals were harsh and burned down all the crops and lands, leaving the sick and old with difficulties to escape.

But Yousafzai, the Peshawar-based journalist, thinks the Taliban are not sophisticated enough to have worked out such a scheme and instead believes that rumors about a split are wishful thinking on the part of the Afghan authorities: "Ninety-five percent of the Taliban is still with Omar," he says.
Yousafzai also points out that Akhund and Muttawakil were never very important within the Taliban — and that talk of a rapprochement between Muttawakil and Karzai has been going on for a long time already without any results.
According to Yousafzai, he founded the group in November 2001 to fight the Americans and has never been close to the Taliban after he fell out with them in the late 1990s.
