Interesting! Thank you for the explanation - the time gap had always felt a bit strange to me, but I had hand-wavingly assumed that was time the displaced youths had needed to grow up.

Do you have additional sources to dive into? I must admit, I had been under the impression so far, that the Taliban had been composed mostly of Pashtuns originally from Afghanistan, and not Pakistani Pashtuns at all.
