Every single man from #Pakistan, #Afghanistan and the region knows about the chaos in FATA. After 9/11 some 1200 tribal elders were targeted in this land of #Fata. The greater game was engineered earlier in 1980s while #Afghan Jihad was on its peak. Now again, Waziristan and adjacent areas were aimed to be a permanent attack launching pad against Afghanistan. Because #Nato and #Isaf had touched Afghanistan ground combating the world peace threatening militant organization #AlQaeda. The said organization had claimed 9/11 attacks on WTC. The strategic and political ups and downs in the operations and 7 years of ruling by #TTP on the area is again seeming to have a conclusion of elders deaths. This time, the so called government and Taliban peace talks committee failed. Operation started again. The good Taliban who were under the leadership of Hafiz Gul Bahadur are angered by heavy weaponry use in Waziristan operation [security analyst believes a full pledge not announced operation]. According to civilians in Waziristan recent operations may have killed more than 70 civilians. On the other hand army sources report counter attacks against #TTP and foreign militants in the area. Pakistan army chief was asked by China to crash the Uzbek fighters in Waziristan. The Chinese militancy is having its root in Waziristan. In the meeting with elders of Utmanzai Wazirs, final remarks by Governor Mehtab Khan pushed #Utmanzai Wazir elders to the wall. They are given only 15 days to evacuate the area [FATA] from the foreign fighters. Mr. Governor can be asked when your state [mentioned in international research reports] spent decades settling these men from Arabia, Uzbakistan, Chechenia, China, Turkmenistan, Europe, Punjab and Kashmir. How it will be possible for these peaceful tribal to convince them and evacuate the area? Mr. Governor and the establishment of Pakistan are requested. Please not to force these elderly legend peaceful unarmed tribal leadership to be again targeted in the way their predecessors were. And every one knows, even children of FATA knows the force behind these foreigners who are provided with safe heavens. At the same time, I will argue that army operation against the villages of these peaceful tribes will be counter productive. That will cause the death of civilians only. The only option is the removal of Army and Guests [foreigners] from Fata in a way and strategy produced by the grand independent jirgas/councils of the native tribal. Let the people of FATA decide their fate instead of applying your policies created in the A/C rooms and flash style offices. Note: this council/jirga shouldnt have any influence of the Pakistani state agencies and establishment.
