Kaka ji Sanober Hussain a revolutionary Politician
Kaka ji Sanober Hussain was a great hero of the war of independence of sub-continent , a fearless and committed politician, a bold journalist and a good poet .He spent his most precious time fighting against imperialists who ruled India by the time .He was one of those freedom fighters who struggled to liberate India , mould the society , give political education to the masses and help the down trodden and the poor and was having a conscious heart and mind .He had a precious wealth of feelings for humanity and was not satisfied with the man made ups and downs in society. He was a man who did not believe in gods of color and race. It is true that he was basically a politician par excellent but at the same time he was a poet of the Pashto language who had a liking for other languages as well like Persian, Urdu and English. He believed that all languages spoken in different parts of the world belonged to human beings and all are to be given due respect and regard. His each and every moment of life spent for the service of his nation and entire humanity. He worked hard to promote Pashto literature and culture. Kaka ji was a great statesman and an intellectual and men as great as he was, are born once in centuries. He was born in January 1897 in a village names Kaga wala situated about 8 kilometers in the south of Peshawar city on main Kohat road near Badaber. He got formal education up to class 10 from Islamia High school Peshawar city and adopted the profession of education where he taught the children of lesser gods. But he soon realized that his heart and mind were made for some other thing different from what he was doing. He did not like to serve the government rather wished to help his people and humanity from the atrocities and injustices prevailing in society at that time means that he was born free and loved freedom for all and wanted to fly in an atmosphere of the freedom and break all kinds of shackles and fetters of slaver which have fastened the humanity. He wanted to get sub- continent salvated from the plundering and looting by the imperialists. Consequently, kaka ji said good by to the profession of education and took an active part in the practical politics. He founded , Anjuman Zamindaran, in his own village in 1926 where he noticed that farmers and poor growers were taking an interest in his work so he was greatly encouraged and moved towards the atmosphere of the city to expand the sphere of his work. Doing politics was not as easy as we see today by the time because there were no facilities of the travelling and other communication. By the time kaka ji was a young man and participated in a movement called, Nojwanan Baharat Sabha, which wanted a direct action against the English contrary to the decision of the congress committee. His participation gave a new spirit and hope to the movement. Kaka ji was put behind the bar by the imperialists on the crime of patriotism and love with his people. When he was set free, then he was a more changed man who had more spirit in his heart to serve his people and soil with a new enthusiasm. He felt the need of more integrated and stronger political organization. He started publishing a weekly from Peshawar namely, SILAB, which indeed proved to be a flood for the enemies and motivation of the general public. So the English rulers counted it in the dangerous element for their government and confiscated the publication. Not only the publication was banned but his arrest warrant was also issued. His aides and comrades advised him to leave his home for tribal area. Kaka ji accepted what his friends advised. He found that Haji sahibTarangzai was already there who was busy working against imperialists to liberate the sub-continent from their clutches. Kaka ji accepted his allegiance and stayed there for almost 18 years working for the movement of freedom. When in 1947, the English left sub-continent and India was liberated while Pakistan was born, he came back his home once again from tribal territory and started publishing a monthly ASLAM which was a standard Pashto magazine. Besides, he laid the foundation of an Anjuman Olasi Adabi Jirga .This Anjuman brought a revolution in the world of Pashto poem and literature and gave a new tradition of the open critic. This trend not only promoted the poem but prose also. The magic personality of Kaka ji attracted the poets of all shades and languages towards him. There was no question of religion, cast, creed, color and political affiliation among those who used to sit around kaka ji. He was a social and political person, a writer and a man of principles and had many books and writings to his credit. He wrote on social and political issues. Baba I Ghazal Ameer Hamza Khan Shinwari writes about Kaka ji: He wanted to over power the imperialist and exploitative forces and wished that poor laborers and growers to be considered as human beings. He neither bowed before any despot nor was he impressed by any cruel man or system. He stood like rock before the cruel and exploitative system and nothing could move him from his chosen path. He was a determined and committed man to his cause. His precious part of life was spent in mountains and deserts. Kaka ji was a strong and firm Pashtun. He loved Pashto language and served it till the end of his life. Once I said to him, it is right time to take rest now: He replied that it is the sign of weakness and death. He had all qualities what a pashtun have concerning hospitality. Mir Mehdi Shah bacha says about him in these words: He was a great man and a revolutionary. His words had love and attraction. His face had a smiling all the time for every one. His talks were sweet and one wanted to hear him more and more. Great Pashtun nationalist politician and poet Ajmal Khattak says that Kaka ji was a living person and will live until the world exists as people like him will never die. Such people are alive in hearts and minds of the people. He was not only a literary person but at same time he was a political leader and reformer. Kaka ji believed that only change of faces would not work. Change of system is the real thing which would solve the problems of the people. Condition of the poor can not be changed until capitalism exists. If one likes to change the fate of the poor then he will have to change the system of capitalism. Kaka ji also believed that rights can not be obtained by just demands and simple asking. Kaka ji was so great that only one article is not enough for it. This great revolutionary politician, writer, poet and intellectual departed for his eternal abode on January 3, 1963 in his village Kaka wala and was buried there.
May God bliss his soul: Ameen

Ethical ligitamacy of drone attacks on FATA
Ethical Ground of Drone attacks
By Zar Ali Khan Musazai
The United States wants to continue drone strikes inside Pakistan’s tribal areas because US military experts believe the strikes have killed a large number of Al Qaeda leaders and local militants and have destroyed their hideouts
A US account of the strikes, conveyed to Pakistan, and obtained by DAWN depicts a picture which is very different from the public perception in Pakistan that the strikes only kill innocent civilians and children
The document identifies militant leaders as HVT or high value targets.
According to this document, on Dec 3, 2007, a Predator strike injured Shaykh Issa al-Masri in Jani Khel, Bannu.
On Jan 28, 2008, a Predator killed HVT Abu Layth Al-Libi and associates in Salam Kot, North Waziristan.
On Feb 27, 2008, a drone killed foreign Al Qaeda trainees. On March 16, 2008, more Al Qaeda trainees were killed. The document does not identify those killed in these attacks and does not reveal the places hit by the drones.
On May 14, 2008, a Predator killed HVT Abu Sulayman Al-Jazairi and associates in Damadola, Bajaur.
On July 28, 2008, a Predator strike killed HVT Abu Khabab Al-Masri and other Al Qaeda activists.
On Aug 12, 2008, a Predator killed foreign fighters and militants associated with HVT Usama Al-Kini and commander Nazir.
On Aug 20, 2008, a drone killed and injured multiple foreign Al Qaeda members and local associates, including some Haqqani network associates. An Al Qaeda facilitator Haji Yacoub was injured.
On Aug 27, 2008, a Predator attempted to target an Al Qaeda-associated meeting but missed target. It did not cause collateral damage.
On Aug 30, 2008, a Predator strike killed Al Qaeda paramilitary operatives subordinate to Al Qaeda commander and East Africa Embassy bomber Usama Al Kini.On Aug 31, 2008, a Predator killed several Al Qaeda operatives, including two prominent Al Qaeda paramilitary commanders.
On Sept 2, 2008, a Predator killed four to 10 persons associated with Al Qaeda commander and logistician Abu Wafa Al Saudi.
On Sept 4, 2008, a Predator strike killed Abu Wafa Al Saudi.
On Sept 8, 2008, a Predator killed several Haqqani sub-commanders and a number of Arabs. Members of the extended Haqqani family were killed.
On Sept 11, 2008, a Predator killed 10 to 15 militants associated with Al Qaeda facilitator Qari Imran’s training camp.
On Sept 17, 2008, a Predator killed 4-6 militants delivering rockets to a militant camp near the Afghan border and probably HVT Abu Ubaydh Al Tunisi.
Now one will understand that the Drones are more useful because the drones hit the real targets and there are few or no casualties of the civilians like Pakistani indiscriminate bombardment which is alleged to hit the innocent and leave the real culprits or terrorists.
After 2001, all the guests of Pakistani intelligence Agency ISI were brought to the FATA especially Waziristan and an Islamic emirate was founded for them there from where the militants had to keep continued the subversive activities in Afghanistan. When the guests of Pakistani establishment started destructive activities in Afghanistan where the peace, democracy and development were in danger, the allied forces soldiers along with Afghan soldiers were killed, the Americans and allied had no other option except Drone attacks. If Pakistan is averse to these drone attacks then it will have to give surety to allied forces in Afghanistan that Pakistani security forces would eliminate terrorists from FATA but it is clear like sun that the Pakistani forces have completely failed to either nab terrorists or eliminate them for last more than 7 years. Several people in FATA were interviewed about drone attacks said that they were the real treatment and this action has turned the militants very confused and now they have no way out to run.. United States gave more than 1400 billion$ to Pakistan to eliminate terrorists but it badly failed and instead the terrorism increased many times. Swat and other districts of Pashtunkhwa Province were included in promotion of terrorism and the real objective was to divert the attention of international community from the real situations and Islamic Emirate of militants in Waziristan and FATA.
Those who oppose the drone strikes are included religious political parties which have good relationship and understanding with military and ISI. Both are considered same because both have same aim and objective. As for as Pashtun population and Political people are concerned, they term drone attacks very useful to eliminate terrorist from FATA. People in FATA and other restive districts have been so terrified that today people are afraid to open the mouth and speak the truth because the ruthlessness and barbarism have crossed all limits.

UNHCR Official Assassination is highly deplorable
UNHCR Official Assassination is deplorable
By Zar Ali Khan Musazai
It was shocking to know that terrorists shot an official of UNHCR and his security guard at Kacha Ghari Camp in Peshawar where they had gone to see the condition of IDPs who have migrated from the restive districts of the Pashtunkhwa Province and FATA due to ongoing military operation against militants. Now a day in provincial capital Peshawar the incidents of kidnapping have risen to the extent that any one who is on road will have to feel the warmth of it and no one’s life and property are safe. Abductors can do any thing they want and any one comes under their vicious eyes will have to be taken away by them and then abductees will have to surrender to their conditions which they put before the poor soul. Such people are sold from one to other and it is said and we hear here that at last abductees will have to find themselves with the high ups of militants whose demands are above one’s understanding. There are also reports that militants active in Peshawar and surrounding areas who are fund starved for the subversive activities are involved in such heinous crimes against Pashtun People whose houses have already been demolished and businesses have come to a halt. Kidnapping, killing and torturing are not new for those who are living in Peshawar but assassination of those guests who are serving our internally displaced persons is really a sorry state of affairs and such activities not only harm us in our own homes but create problems and misunderstanding for us abroad. For the last more than 7 years we have been hearing that military of Pakistan is engaged fighting with militants but this is a complete futile exercise and seems just a friendly fire between two and getting dollars from Americans and Europeans to run the institutions which are fund starved. In such dramas many Pashtun Mashran and influential Political people were assassinated ruthlessly and lost their lives. Whosoever dared to disclose it then he or she will have to find his or her grave because no one can dare to face the wrath of military and militants. It is interesting to note that a victim of terrorism in Swat was asked by a militant as to what he thinks about militants and military.
The poor victim replied that militants are pious people like companions of Prophet of Islam and Military is as innocent as a prophet and I am the real sinner because you both torture me and killing me.
Few months ago Afghan Counselor General and nominated Ambassador of Afghanistan to Islamabad Haji Abdul Khaliq Farahi was abducted on broad day light from Hayat Abad and similarly Iranian Consulat official was kidnapped but till this day their where about is not known. We do not know as to why Afghan and Iranian governments are silent over this. Pashtun are living in worst conditions and all times Damocles sword is hanging on their heads.

Militancy and condition of Women in Pashtun region including FATA
Militancy and condition of women
By Zar Ali Khan Musazai
Militancy in Pashtun region (FATA+Province) seems not to come to an end soon. There are reasons that one will find that inhabitants of the area in question are like hostages by terrorist and religious extremists busy doing destructive activities in region who have been supported by state agencies for last many years and my statement in this regard is supported by the incumbent president of Pakistan Mr. Asif Ali Ali Zardari who few days back had said that the militants are the product of Pakistan and were actively funded, trained and equipped by the state Agencies of Pakistan to fight against India. One will wonder as to why militants are busy in subversive in Pashtun areas including FATA. This is very simple. When militants in 2001 were toppled by the allied forces in Kabul, Afghanistan the militants ran away towards FATA which is situated in the south-east of Afghanistan and took shelter there with support of the Pakistani Agencies where they formed their own Islamic Emirate and started teasing and tormenting the local population. Most of them married there with local women without the consent of women and such girls were got married to militants due to fear and duress.
Taliban or religious militants are today controlling about 90% of region (Pashtun areas including Province of NWFP and FATA) where the women are suffered more heavily than the others. The disastrous consequences of the decades of civil wars and armed conflicts in Pashtun areas including FATA have weighted heavily on women of the region. While the battles of death are played out by men, women have responsibility for battle of life through years of fighting, destruction and displacement; Pashtun women have struggled to support and sustain their families. Injury, death and loss of family breadwinners have forced women into assuming a greater role in providing for their dependents, a role which has become increasingly more difficult as war and conflicts have impoverished the province and adversely affected socio-economic development in all areas even those far removed from frontline fighting. Indiscriminate bombing in FATA, Swat, Buner and Dir by both the extremist Taliban and security forces have caused heavy loss of humanity and casualties of women and children are innumerable. In addition to conflict zones women have been subjected to gender specific human rights abuses, such as rape and sexual assault, forced marriage and prostitution.
Restrictions placed on women by the Taliban in FATA, Swat, Buner, Mardan, Kohat, Dir, Buner and Peshawar
Complete ban on women working out side their homes, including teachers, doctors and engineers
Complete restriction on woman’s movement out side of their houses without a mahram (Father, brother or husband)
Ban on dealing with male shopkeepers.
Ban on being treated by a male doctors.
Ban on studying at school, university or any other educational institution
Compulsory wearing of a long veil (Shuttle cock) which covers women from head to toe.
Whipping, beating and verbal abuse of women whose Burqa is not worn in accordance with Taliban rules. The same applies to women found in public without a mahram(Recently a young girl of 17 was flogged by the Taliban for going out her home with father in law, though the real story was that she rejected the proposal of a militant Talib to marry)
Ban on listening to music not for women but for men as well. Women have been leading a difficult and miserable life and are worried about their life and siblings. One woman was so terrified by the bombing of the security forces few days back in Dir that she forgot her one year child in cradle and left for Peshawar where she recalled that her sibling was left behind. The condition of women in our community is so horrific that one who has heart will shed tear hearing their sorrowful news and watching their miseries. We are willing to work in this sector and the mission of our organization is to develop the miserable condition of women folk and youth of our community.
It is very interesting and nice to hear that there are groups around the world working for the welfare of women but as for as Pashtun women (FATA) are concerned they leading a life which is below humanity and are treated badly not only by the male members of their community but by militants as well who have the state and intelligence agencies support in Pakistan. Today our Pashtun region is engulfed by the terrorists and the first attack of militants and terrorists is on women. They tell the innocent people that only women are responsible for entire mess in area. Women should remain in houses and have no right to come out of their homes, the militants and extremists in region advise people. This is a pre-planned conspiracy against our people to be taken away to the medieval age by terrorists’ religious militants who have no program for social change and development except few wrong and out dated stories of the past Arabian Peninsula.

Promotion of extremism in Pashtun region
Promotion of extremism in pashtunkhwa
After the allied forces came in Afghanistan in oct:2001, Pakistan had to save the minimum investment in the form of Taliban and Al-Qaeda . It is worth mentioning that Pakistan will be only 5% sincere in elimination of the Al-Qaeda operatives while on Taliban she will never compromise as it is believed that they are the own children of Pakistan .For Pashtun Nation both are same as Pashtun need peace and development in the region while the presence of these forces have multiplied their problems and have created trouble for the Pashtun, these views were expressed by a tribal chief on the condition of not disclosing his name. The safe havens were provided to Taliban and Al-Qaeda operatives in the mountains adjacent to the south and east of the Afghanistan near Durand line. Most of them were provided safe shelters in the seminaries and mosques in settled areas of the NWFP (Lower Pashtunkhwa) by the ISI, and bureaucracy including Political Agents of the tribal Agencies across Durand line without the consent of the tribal Pashtun as these areas have been ruling by the bureaucracy sitting in Islamabad for the last 60 years without doing any developmental work for the welfare of the tribal Pashtun. The Tableeghi Jumat, a religious organization struggling hard to make the people orthodox religious, having their center in Lahore , Pakistan have a special attention on the Pashtun to bring them to Lahore and train them for 4 months or 120 days is also believed to have played a role in sheltering the Taliban and Al-Qaeda in their center Lahore to get Pashtun forget their Nationalism. Initially Taliban and Al-Qaeda operatives were advised by the Pakistani intelligence sleuths not to take steps against the American and allied forces stationed in Afghanistan . But they kept continued their skirmishes in Afghanistan across Durand line,attacked and backed to their safe abodes with the collaboration of the intelligence agencies without the permission of the tribal people as tribal Pashtun have no say and no role in the drama staged in FATA against Pashtun and Afghanistan . When Pakistani high-ups sensed that Americans engaged in Iraq, then they geared up their friends Taliban and Al-Qaeda operatives to initiate their anti Afghanistan activities and damage all what were constructed in the last few years, particularly the schools where Pashtun children were studying the science, opined a tribal political activist .It is also pertinent to mention that the anti Pashtun and anti Afghanistan forces do not like to see Pashtun children having books in their hands. The antagonistic negative forces understand it well that one who reads book can not be misguided easily and their ulterior motives can not be materialized. There are credible and reliable information that the Pakistani ISI started assistance to the Taliban with weapons and pelf. They started their activities in Waziristan on a low scale, and beat the weak people like dressers ,bombed music centers and punished some low profile wicked in the area to get the support of the local people. They then started beheading some people to spread terror among the inhabitants. After getting more and more stronger by the help of the Pakistani intelligence Agency (ISI) and alleged drug mafia, they initiated the steps to tease the locals on the basis of such heinous crimes like kidnapping the affluent people, killing and assassinating the political and influential tribal Pashtun, secular, democratic and progressive nationalist to wipe them off and create a vacuum for them. People are just slaves and hostages and leading a life on the mercy of the miscreants. It is also worth mentioning that common tribal have no role in this game engineered by the ISI of Pakistan with the collaboration of some religious influential people, these views were expressed by a victim of terrorism. May be some Norco-businessmen will be having the hands but majority of the tribesmen are having no role in it. Political administration and establishment are be fooling the international community by telling them pack of lies that tribal territory is very dangerous and no one except Pakistani forces will have courage to fight against the extremists there. This is a mountainous area and fighting is very difficult thing here, such lies are told by the establishment to the international community and is trying to deceive them about the real situations in FATA. In tribal region which comprises 7 Agencies and six FRs(Frontier Regions ) even a leaf can not shake without the permission of the Political Agent and Pakistani Government. How can extremists operatives and other Taliban will do their activities without their assistance ?.When Taliban and Al-Qaeda activities increased the pressure on Pakistan built up. Now Pakistani ruling junta has to do something against theirown extremist forces. First they tell them that operation will be started on such and such day. There fore they should move to safer places. Then operation starts by the military while few Taliban retaliate. According to credible information and eye witnesses military men strike the places where there is no Talib or extremist. The real places are not hit. Only the miseries and troubles of the innocent Pashtuns increase. Schools are closed, hospitals are non functional, business activities come to stand still, and people are forced to move to safer places for shelter and security reasons. People are terrified and their children and women have nothing except weeping, mourning and wailing. Men are arrested on the charges of helping terrorists and extremists, which is wrong. Terrorists, extremists, militants and military men all come out of the same basket in Pakistan .Islamic insurgents are trained in different places in Pakistan . There are camps where these people are trained, and then these insurgents are brought to tribal territory and are moved onward to Afghanistan to fight against allied and Afghan forces. Their main objective is to get allied forces teased to flee from Afghanistan and they themselves move to Kabul and seize it, from where they will spread terrorism in different parts of the world. Previously Talibanization was in tribal areas, but with the passage of the time, this spread to the settled districts of the lower Pashtunkhwa. The objective of the Pakistani establishment is to spread the religious Taliban to more and more areas of the Pashtunkhwa, this side of the Durand line, so that to create more and more tumultuous situations and to engage her Army in a friendly fight. In this way several aims could be achieved. One is to get assistance from the American and international community for the military, and second is to add to problems of the allied forces in Afghanistan . The entire FATA and settled areas of the Pashtunkhwa have been handed over to extremist out-fits and Jihadi organizations where Pakistani establishment needs to eliminate progressive nationalist, secular and democratic political people and Pashtun tribal Chiefs who are avers to the extremism and want peace to prevail in region. The Government thinks that her objectives could be obtained only through the religious out-fits .That’s why in this way the above mentioned positive people are discouraged by promoting insurgents and militants by the establishment of Pakistan. In such uncertain and anarchic situations the extremist and negative anti Pashtun forces could get safer places to hide themselves. In election 2002 , the ISI of Pakistan created an atmosphere and forced people particularly Pashtun to get MMA voted to power. MMA was especially formed by the secret agencies over nights. This was an alliance of the religious Political parties to misguide the simple Pashtun on the name of the religion and exploit the situations. This alliance was needed to Pakistani ISI to win in two provinces namely NWFP (Pashtunkhwa) and Balochistan because both the provinces were adjacent to Durand line. In Khyber Agency a bus conductor Mangal Bagh was created by the intelligence Agencies and imposed on the tribal Pashtun of the Khyber Agency who has the power to decide the future of the Pashtun tribes there .He does what he wants as he is the sole authority in Khyber Agency and the state representative, Political Agent has no role to play in the presence of Mangal Bagh. The inhabitants of the Khyber Agency FATA have been taken as hostages and they are fed up of what is going on there on their soil. Now the said cleric is running a parallel Govt. in Khyber Agency. Before this man who has no knowledge of the religion, there were two religious mullahs(Clerics) namely mufti shakir and pir. People were engaged in fighting through these mullas. When the situations got seriously disturbed and pressure built up on Pakistan to solve the problem, she apparently forced both mullas to leave the Agency. Both disappeared for some time and later on one was seen shaking hand with Ijazul Haq ,a former religious federal minister in the cabinet of Shoukat Aziz under the president Musharraf and the son of a late military dictator General Zial Haq. The other came to lime light at a time when he started his preach in Jana Kor a tribal strip of FR Peshawar situated in the south of the metropolitan Peshawar . Besides, there are other extremist clerics too in Khyber Agency like Namdar, Pir Noorul Haq and other Tableeghees. The Khyber Agency is completely at the mercy of the extremists who have made the life of common people like hell. In Mahmand Agency, an other area of the FATA which was a peaceful territory, extremist forces were encouraged there after the Govt. bombarded Masjid Hafza in Islamabad last year. In Bajor, Maulana Liaqat and Maulana Faqir Muhammad were made to lead the people there breaking the Pashtun code. In Swat an other Molana with the name of Fazlullah suddenly appeared on the scene after he spent four months in tableeghee jumat in lahore a city of Pakistan in Punjab province which is known for the conspiracies against Pashtun Nation and Afghanistan alike. Before his new appointment he was just a driver of the Chair(This chair is used in the area where there is no bridge on the river swat for the passengers to be crossed over the river). According to information of the local people loaded trucks of the weapons were seen to provide weapons to molana and his friends. After some time his disciples started beheading the innocent people of Swat international pressure developed on the govt. once again to redress the problem of terrorism concerning Swat valley the rulers were compelled to engage in a friendly fight with extremist forces. Now it is claimed that extremists were pushed away to either mountains or some safer areas. But it is pertinent to mention that problem once again was not solved and left incomplete .The situations are uncertain and people look at security agencies with suspicion. Darra Adam Khel an other strip of the FATA on main high way near Kohat , a southern settled district of NWFP(Pashtunkhwa) was handed over to the extremist forces for the sole aim of looting and hitting the supply of the American and NATO forces in Afghanistan . When the people of the said tribal area were fed up with the activities of the Taliban and more than three army vehicles loaded with weapons were confiscated, the govt .took steps to force the Taliban to apparently flee from the area at least for some time. But it is very interesting and ironic for the Pashtun Nation that military personnel were not striking the places where extremist forces were hidden, according to some reports gathered from the locals. This again was a friendly fire between two same forces in which almost all the extremist forces were safe and sound and were not harmed. Pashtun and their home Pashtunkhwa is burning in the fire which Pashtun have not lit. There are reports that the Americans have announced to spend 750 million $ on the development of FATA, but it is feared that Pakistani establishment in Islamabad are not sincere with Pashtun as they never like to see the child of Pashtun having book in his hand. Pashtun want prosperity and peace in their region and want development and happiness in their home Pashtunkhwa and Afghanistan . This is only possible with Pashtun National Unity.

After the allied forces came in Afghanistan in oct:2001, Pakistan had to save the minimum investment in the form of Taliban and Al-Qaeda . It is worth mentioning that Pakistan will be only 5% sincere in elimination of the Al-Qaeda operatives while on Taliban she will never compromise as it is believed that they are the own children of Pakistan .For Pashtun Nation both are same as Pashtun need peace and development in the region while the presence of these forces have multiplied their problems and have created trouble for the Pashtun, these views were expressed by a tribal chief on the condition of not disclosing his name. The safe havens were provided to Taliban and Al-Qaeda operatives in the mountains adjacent to the south and east of the Afghanistan near Durand line. Most of them were provided safe shelters in the seminaries and mosques in settled areas of the NWFP (Lower Pashtunkhwa) by the ISI, and bureaucracy including Political Agents of the tribal Agencies across Durand line without the consent of the tribal Pashtun as these areas have been ruling by the bureaucracy sitting in Islamabad for the last 60 years without doing any developmental work for the welfare of the tribal Pashtun. The Tableeghi Jumat, a religious organization struggling hard to make the people orthodox religious, having their center in Lahore , Pakistan have a special attention on the Pashtun to bring them to Lahore and train them for 4 months or 120 days is also believed to have played a role in sheltering the Taliban and Al-Qaeda in their center Lahore to get Pashtun forget their Nationalism. Initially Taliban and Al-Qaeda operatives were advised by the Pakistani intelligence sleuths not to take steps against the American and allied forces stationed in Afghanistan . But they kept continued their skirmishes in Afghanistan across Durand line,attacked and backed to their safe abodes with the collaboration of the intelligence agencies without the permission of the tribal people as tribal Pashtun have no say and no role in the drama staged in FATA against Pashtun and Afghanistan . When Pakistani high-ups sensed that Americans engaged in Iraq, then they geared up their friends Taliban and Al-Qaeda operatives to initiate their anti Afghanistan activities and damage all what were constructed in the last few years, particularly the schools where Pashtun children were studying the science, opined a tribal political activist .It is also pertinent to mention that the anti Pashtun and anti Afghanistan forces do not like to see Pashtun children having books in their hands. The antagonistic negative forces understand it well that one who reads book can not be misguided easily and their ulterior motives can not be materialized. There are credible and reliable information that the Pakistani ISI started assistance to the Taliban with weapons and pelf. They started their activities in Waziristan on a low scale, and beat the weak people like dressers ,bombed music centers and punished some low profile wicked in the area to get the support of the local people. They then started beheading some people to spread terror among the inhabitants. After getting more and more stronger by the help of the Pakistani intelligence Agency (ISI) and alleged drug mafia, they initiated the steps to tease the locals on the basis of such heinous crimes like kidnapping the affluent people, killing and assassinating the political and influential tribal Pashtun, secular, democratic and progressive nationalist to wipe them off and create a vacuum for them. People are just slaves and hostages and leading a life on the mercy of the miscreants. It is also worth mentioning that common tribal have no role in this game engineered by the ISI of Pakistan with the collaboration of some religious influential people, these views were expressed by a victim of terrorism. May be some Norco-businessmen will be having the hands but majority of the tribesmen are having no role in it.

Pashtun are not terrorists
Pukhtoon are not Terrorists
As we all know that for the last several days, a violent and fierce fighting has apparently started between two sects of Muslims in Kurram Agency FATA where scores of people have reported either to be killed or maimed. The victims include mostly young men, students, aged people, women, children and cattle. Most people have left their houses and have taken shelter in nearby areas like Kohat and Peshawar. Some have migrated to Afghanistan across Durand Line, which artificially separates one nation (Pakhtoon) into two parts. It is reported that the local administration has played no role to stop the ongoing fighting and save the poor souls from the atrocities and barbarism of those cannibals who are supposed to eat the flesh and bones of the innocent Pakhtoons, having no value for humanity in their hearts. The government is no more than just a silent spectator, media persons are not allowed on the pretext that their lives could be faced with the danger. It is seen as there is no government to save the life and property of the citizens. Kurram Agency was considered to a safe haven , where the people were aware that some agencies were trying to get them entangled in fighting against one another for the last several years but could not succeed. At last the secrets hands did succeed and got what they were struggling to get. But still the shameful and prudent people of the concerned area of the opinion that the war has been imposed on them by some one who does not like to see their peace and obtain the nefarious and ulterior motives. On the other hands, an other hands an other area of Pakhtoons has been burning for the last few years where the political situations are very alarming, and a wise could guess that they have reached the point of no return. Now a new drama was staged by the Pakistani establishment, in the form of , LASHKAR,a pro-government out fit of the so-called local Taliban under a notorious mulla namely Nazir, who is said to be a leader of the Taliban in Waziristan. These pro-government Taliban are apparently chasing the so-called foreign terrorists, which means set a thief to catch a thief. In the ongoing fighting scores of the Pakhtoon elders were assassinated, and the assassins are still unknown, people do not understand as to what is going on, on their land and what are the purposes behind this farce? For Pakhtoon, whether they are foreign as well as local Taliban, both are dangerous and poisonous. Both are inhuman, anti- Pakhtoon, and anti Afghanistan. These are the people who cross over to Afghanistan, capture the foreigners as well as Pakhtoon/Afghans, laborers, poor drivers, Journalists NGOs workers etc. who are engaged to develop the infra-structure of the war-ravaged country, and then bargain on their heads with the government and the countries they belong to. A recent horrific and painful story of the Journalist Ajmal Naqashbandi turned the whole world trickling tears due to his sorrowful and tragic assassination by Taliban. May God bless his soul and rest him peace and give tolerance to his bereaved family to bear this irreparable loss, and to the government and people of Afghanistan. When the demands of Taliban are not answered, then the captives are beheaded with a ruthless manner to console their slept conscious that they have served the religion through their barbaric, inhuman, and wicked medieval attitude against the humanity, especially Pakhtoon/Afghans. The government of Pakistan seems not to take matter serious to eliminate terrorists and their nests where they are nurtured. These terrorists are the guests of Pakistani establishment who have been serving them in a better way to destroy Pakhtoon/Afghans and to capture their land and resources for which they have their bad intentions since long. Or either they have sensed gravity of the present situations like those of the then East Pakistan and now an independent and sovereign state with the name of Bangladesh, where more than 3 million people were slaughtered and o.5 million women raped, with the collaboration of the contractors of Islam, the infamous clergy. Bajor agency, an other area of ethnic Pakhtoons was bombarded purportedly by Pakistani security forces on the pretext that terrorists were getting training there. It is right to destroy the terrorists, but these rules should be applied everywhere in the country. In Islamabad terrorists are free to challenge the writ of the government and establish the courts like Taliban had set-up in Afghanistan before 2001.Musharraf very innocently announces that they do not want to show them iron hand, because these terrorists are their son, daughters and above all Pakistani. But if situations like these arise in areas of Pakhtoon and Baloch, and then they are targeted and bombarded ruthlessly, what a hypocritical approach these Pakistani rulers have for different citizens at different places? We think that a terrorist will be terrorist whether he or she be in Islamabad or FATA. Tirah an other area of the unlucky Pakhtoon of the Khyber Agency where the situations are also of the worst type. The establishment has put rift among the people and has divided them on religious sectarianism, an old tactic of the establishment through which it gets its aims in the area. The simple and straight-forwarded Pakhtoon tribles have been living in the area for centuries with religious harmony and tolerance. These poor lots have no concern with any Islamic out-fits. All groups are working on the name of Islam, which is not accepted to tribal and Pakhtoons. This drama is also staged by the administration to seek support for the own terrorists people. Because in such circumstances, the terrorists could find safe haven, from where they could easily keep continued their terrorist activities against Afghanistan. In settled areas of NWFP (Pukhtoon Khwa) the political situations are also alarming and are going from bad to worse and now even have reached its superlative degree of worst, schools are threatened to be closed, parents are threatened not to send girls daughters to school, as they think it an un-Islamic act. Barbers are forbidden to cut the hair and make-shaves. A new Mullah the son-in-law of the erstwhile Sufi-Muhammad the head of apparently defunct religious group of shariat Mohammadi, who is now a days taking rest in D.I.Khan jail due to the rage and anger of the people whom sons he had taken to Afghanistan in 2001, who were killed there and the Mullah returned safe and sound. This Mullah Ride on white horse and give tickets of paradise to those who get their daughters extricated of the school and sends them to his religious seminary. Govt is reluctant to arrest this man. Once the govt. sent police/ army to arrest him on the Friday, at prayer time, which it definitely could not, because on that day, a large number of the people gathered there. People would have to resist. These tactics mean to get him famous and make a seudo-hero of him among the people. All the people including UN, America, Western countries and political, civil and human rights organizations should understand it and do not take Pakhtoons for terrorists or Al-Quaida and Taliban. Pakhtoons are by birth a secular nation. It is evident from the fact, that when Pakistan came in to being, there was only Pukhtoon Khwa where a secular government of congress was operating under the chief Minister Dr. Khan Sahib. The present nature is an artificial one, which is prepared by the establishment of Pakistan with the connivance of co-called religious clergy.

Peace Jirga between Afghanistan and Pakistan
Peace Jirga between Afghanistan and Pakistan
Jirga is a traditional and historical custom of Pakhtun/Afghans .Whenever Pakhtun faces problem or a dispute, they call a Jirga to discuss imbroglio and find the means and ways for its amicable solution. The decisions made in a jirga, are like a law for pashtuns and they are bound to abide by all the decisions of the Jirga. Those who defy the decisions of jirga, have to face the punishments adopted by the elders” MASHARAN” of the jirga. The violators are fined and in some cases they are forced to leave the area for sometime or forever as the decision are taken with a consensus of the members of the Jirga, keeping seriousness of the crime between disputing parties. The consent and willingness are taken from both the disputing parties before holding of jirga. If any of the parties does not agree then Jirga proceedings are not initiated. Pashtun Jirga has its own elders “Commonly known as “Mashran”. The bail which is obtained before holding of Pashtun Jirga is in the form of cash money, rifles (guns) or both. In case a party does not accept the verdict of the jirga its bail is confiscated and punished.
Professor Sidiqullah Rishteen a well known pakhtun/Afghan writer who writes about jirga in his book “ Pashtun Ways ”. There are two types of Jirga one is “Loya Jirga” or Big Jirga and other is Wara jirga or small Jirga. When ever a big national issue happens a Loya Jirga is called and the problem is solved through it but when there is an issue concerning Pakhtun on a local base, a small Jirga is constituted and the problem is discussed and amicably solved between disputed parties. When a disputing party does not agree to give power of attorney then mashran of Jirga give in their verdict , in case of non – acceptance an other jirga is called and the MASHRAN try their best to take the problem to as amicable solution between the warring factions. Professor Rishteen traces back the historical perspective of the Jirga and writes “Loya Jirga has an important place in the history of Afghans/Pakhtuns. First afghan /pakhtun King “ Great Ahmad shah abdali” “Ahmad shah baba “as the pakhtun call him due to his greatness was elected as a king with help of a loya Jirga constituted by afghans in 1141 Hijra or 1747 A.D in Kandhar, Afghanistan.
Jirga is an excellent example of the democracy. No one will be able to find such as example where subjects have chosen their king with the help of Jirga except Pashtun / Afghans.
Those who claim loudly on the international forum that Pakhtuns/ Afghans do not know democracy or they are not democrats those anti-Pakhtun elements should bother to read the history of Pakhtuns and they themselves will realize how much the pakhtun nation is a democratic one and how much their contribution is towards the democratization of the institutions. World should know that paktuns have a history of the democracy. They love it and work to run democracy. If people sitting in the establishment of Pakistan including General Pervez Mushrraf are not tried telling the world that pakhtuns are Taliban and Taliban are pashtun, they all are ignorant and have simply closed their eyes. Pashtun are not Taliban. Taliban or the fundamentalist forces are the by product of the Afghan war which Pakistani establishment was fighting and for the purpose people were required and unfortunately the war was on the land of Pakhtun/Afghans so these poor lots were used by the Pakistani establishment and still this establishment is using those negative forces against Afghanistan , as the entire world understands that people sitting in the foreign office of Pakistan do keep their intervention in the internal affairs of Afghanistan and does not like to see a democratic and prosperous Afghanistan . Pakhtun understand democracy and they have a respect for all the decisions of the Jirga. All the Jirgas of Pakhtun / Afghans are democratic. In jirgas all and sundry take part. But the authority is in the hands of those who are the elders of the jirga called “MASHRAN”. Those who know the customs and traditions of Pakhtun/ Afghan in a better way are chosen as the elders for the Jirga. This is one of the important factors. But this should be kept in mind that the opinion of majority is favored.
A peace jirga is going to be held in the first week of August 2007 between Afghanistan and Pakistan . In said Jirga, about 700 members from both the countries will participate. 350 members will be from Afghanistan and a similar number of the members will participate from Pakistan . The venue for jirga is Kabul . Now we come to the point as to why this peace jirga is being held between these two countries. We should little go to the history of Afghanistan . Where there has been a war for the last 30 years or so. During this period Afghanistan was severely ravaged and damaged. The Afghans suffered heavily and faced troubles. There troubles are not yet finished. The problem of Afghanistan is the problem of the whole world. Those who think that the problem of Afghanistan is their own; such people are not aware of the politics of the world and are ignorant.
This is out rightly a wrong and negative thinking. Attacks on America in 2001 by the terrorist in which thousands of the innocent and peaceful souls vanished. Similarly the consecutive bomb explosions in various cities of Pakistan particularly in pakhtunkhwa where again the innocent people become victims of terrorism of the terrorists crossing over the Durand line by the extremists and terrorist forces and establishing the peace and democracy in Afghanistan by theses forces in question show that the problem of Afghanistan is not a local one. This is an international problem. Peace in Afghanistan is in the favor of the world. If Afghanistan is unstable and peace is not found there then the entire world might be at risk and would be at the disposal of the negative forces. The neighboring countries of Afghanistan should take sincere steps for bringing peace and stability in that country. The solution of the Afghanistan problem is the need of hour. Today we see that Pakistan also faces instability and peace is in danger where secular and democratic forces are weaker while negative and extremists forces are stronger and can do anything they wish to do. They have the pelf and power. They are backed by the establishment of Pakistan . Mulla and military are one soul and one body. But when military sees its death then clergy a long time and old friend of the military becomes scrap goat.
Clergy men are slaughtered. World should not be a mere blind follower and accept that all what a military dictator tell them. World should ask the military uniformed president as to who are backing the extremist and negative forces in Pakistan at the cost of liberal , secular and democratic political parties and people alike. Who are the architects of these so called negative forces? Who train them and why? Who funnel huge sums of money to these extremists and who have been supervising these seminars for the last 30 years?
Now these forces have turned indomitable and when Pakistan comes under pressure only then a seminary or an extremist cleric is targeted. There is a flood of the fire brand clergymen and religious seminars which are propped up to keep and intervention in Afghanistan and wage a war in Kashmir . The establishment of Islamabad has never been sincere to see a stable and peaceful neighboring Afghanistan because it thinks that unstable and impoverished Afghanistan is in the benefit of Pakistan . They think when Afghanistan gets stronger then she will demand for her lost territories and issue of Durand line will come to surface once again. This is a real threat for them and this haunts them resultantly the fire burnt in Afghanistan reached Islamabad due to wrong policies of Pakistani establishment against Afghanistan .
This should also be kept in mind that real fault does not lie on Durand line. This fault is situated some where away from here. If Pakistani establishment is sincere she should rather eliminate the sources of extremism and fundamentalism instead of fencing and mining of the Durand line. Fencing and mining are inhuman and insincerity. This is not the solution of the issue. Extremists and terrorist will never stop their movement across Durand line. They are well trained and know how to cross the Durand line. Until and unless the sources and nests are eliminated. The movement across the Durand line by the negative forces will keep continued. Fencing and mining will multiply the problems of those pakthun/Afghans that live there and are dependant on each other.
The tribes living both sides of the Durand line are pakhtuns. If curbs are put on their free movement this step will destroy not ally their relationship but their economy also which will further add to their miseries and uncertainty will prevail. People sitting in Islamabad do not know this fact and they have no time to think over the important issues. They increase the problems rather than minimizing them. In the up coming peace jirga people living on Durand line should be given representation to let the world know about their problems.
An overwhelming situation is seen in Afghanistan about peace Jirga which is to be held in first week of August, 2007 in Kabul . But no enthusiasm is witnessed in Pakistan so far. It means that the suffers are Afghans, who want to see the dawn of peace in their country. The president of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai has called the Pakhtun political leadership including Asfandiyar Wali khan, Mehmood Khan Achakzai and Moulana Fazal Rahman of the JUI, a Political cum religious leader. He had a discussion with them all about peace Jirga. But Pakistani establishment or the Jirga commission has not yet invited them to Jirga.
This is true that the real problem is between Afghanistan and Pakistan . But one should understand the problem of terrorism and extremism is not related to Afghanistan only. Now this is a Political problem and concerning to the entire world. Therefore, it is necessary that the representatives from America , Canada , European Union, UNO , Organization of Islamic Conference, Germany and Japan in particular should be invited to observe the proceeding of the jirga. This will give an impetus to Jirga and the implementation of the decisions of Jirga will be made practical in the presence of the world powers. To me a third power is needed between Afghanistan and Pakistan , as a guarantor.
Jirga is a traditional and historical Custom of Pakhtun/Afghans only. In Pakistan only the Pakhtuns living this side of Durand Line understand it, while all people in Afghanistan know the Jirgas. Pakistan does not understand the Jirga, but still Pukhtuns hope positively that at least this will be cleared that where are the real source of terrorism which intervene in Afghanistan and risk the peace there? The ways and means could be found to curb the the activities of the terrorists.
May God forbid! If the upcoming peace Jirga did not succeed and the world will not take the problem of Afghanistan in a serious manner, then the peaceful, prosperous and democratic world will be no more the cradle of peace. The terrorists will destroy it. World should deem it seriously. America and Taliban should also realize that they are unable to rule Afghanistan again. As their government was seen by people where there was no State, no human rights, unable to walk side by side with world. A welfare and democratic state is the need of the hour. The President Hamid Karzai and his team is an efficient one who strive hard to put the country on the track of democracy, prosperity and development.
General public do not like Mujahideen and Taliban .people have an obligation to back the democratic government in the Afghanistan , and play their due role in the re-construction of the country. Almost all the Wars in Afghanistan have fought in the areas where Pashtuns are in majority. Today those areas are again in the grip of the fighting. Pakhtun should try to understand as to why they are fighting Wars. They are not the only people to fight wars for the religion. Now they are tired, other Muslim countries should take this responsibility, if they want to serve the cause of religion, if they claim?
Pashtuns should be left over to get modern education, come closer to the science and modern technology, learn to walk with the world side by side and build their country for their posterity where democracy and prosperity prevail.

Jirga is a traditional and historical custom of Pakhtun/Afghans .Whenever Pakhtun faces problem or a dispute, they call a Jirga to discuss imbroglio and find the means and ways for its amicable solution. The decisions made in a jirga, are like a law for pashtuns and they are bound to abide by all the decisions of the Jirga. Those who defy the decisions of jirga, have to face the punishments adopted by the elders” MASHARAN” of the jirga. The violators are fined and in some cases they are forced to leave the area for sometime or forever as the decision are taken with a consensus of the members of the Jirga, keeping seriousness of the crime between disputing parties. The consent and willingness are taken from both the disputing parties before holding of jirga. If any of the parties does not agree then Jirga proceedings are not initiated. Pashtun Jirga has its own elders “Commonly known as “Mashran”. The bail which is obtained before holding of Pashtun Jirga is in the form of cash money, rifles (guns) or both. In case a party does not accept the verdict of the jirga its bail is confiscated and punished.
Professor Sidiqullah Rishteen a well known pakhtun/Afghan writer who writes about jirga in his book “ Pashtun Ways ”. There are two types of Jirga one is “Loya Jirga” or Big Jirga and other is Wara jirga or small Jirga. When ever a big national issue happens a Loya Jirga is called and the problem is solved through it but when there is an issue concerning Pakhtun on a local base, a small Jirga is constituted and the problem is discussed and amicably solved between disputed parties.

Terrorists should be isolated,not Pashtun tribes and communities
Terrorists should be isolated, not Pashtun tribes and communities
I have said time and again that Pashtuns are not terrorists and the real terrorists are the Army Generals, Punjabi bureaucrats and Politicians who have been running, supporting, financing, and morally assisting the terrorist organizations and providing training facilities to terrorists in Punjab and then those hardcore terrorists are sent to the Pashtun areas (NWFP,FATA and onward to Afghanistan) where they destroy the peace of the Pashtun region. We also accept that few Pashtun individuals for their selfish interest would have accompanied them in their anti-Pashtun/Afghan activities, but that too would be on the directives of the Punjabi dominated Pakistani establishment, notorious intelligence Agency ISI and some clergymen in the garb of religion. We have been telling that Pakistani establishment has two faces ,one is enlightened, moderate and secular for the west while for Afghanistan and Pashtun her second face is full of the horror and draconian.
l. But the west and Americans should try to understand that they are being frequently deceived by these crooks. They should be wise enough to know all what the Generals of Pakistan are doing against terrorism, Because here to prey with hounds and running with hares is a common practice. Pakistani rulers want to see the religious fundamentalists in area of Pashtuns ,because they are afraid of the progressive, democratic and nationalist people whom they think will demand for the non- interference in the external affairs of Afghanistan, Pashtun National Unity, abolition of the Durand line between one Nation and co-operation with the American and allied forces to root out extremism and fundamentalism from the region which the Pakistani rulers have planted for Pashtun to show them as cannibals and intolerant people to the world, otherwise the case is different from what the Pakistani rulers are presenting .Pashtun/Afghans are basically secular people but their nature has not been understood .They are sandwiched between two forces. They are not heard and the world believes what the crooks tell them .It is of course a pity .Mullah and military are one soul and one body. Both have the same agenda. The present situations are the drama of friendly fire between them. The centers of terrorists are in Punjab and the bullet is fired upon the poor Pashtun and his innocent children and women are intentionally targeted. This is the crime of the Pakistani establishment and ISI who still support fundamentalism and extremism in region because they understand that without these things their existence is not possible. Until and until the sources of terrorism are closed the peace can not come to the region. Pakistani is firing upon the Pashtun just to get 1 billion $. But they should know that Americans are not children who will not understand the childish tactics of this pro- fundamentalist forces .For the last 30 years Pashtun code has been broken by the Pakistani establishment for her nefarious designs to seize Afghanistan through clergy and Islamic forces. Now to restore the Pashtun code will take some time. The fundamentalist and terrorists being nurtured by the anti- Pashtun hidden hands are given safe sanctuaries in FATA and other Pashtun areas. They are the noble souls for Pakistani rulers and are held in high esteem as guests .Whenever there is bombardment they are not harmed as they get first hand information to hide and protect them. These terrorists are used to disturb the peace and tranquility in Afghanistan and to frighten the allied forces under the American command to flee from Afghanistan as the pro- fundamentalist forces anticipate that one day the Americans will leave Afghanistan and they (pro-terrorists) will take the control of the Kabul once again which I think their dream will never be materialized. Americans and allied forces should understand it that today Kabul is weak and crocodiles and wolves are all around. In case, the warring factions will again start their fighting’s and terrorists will not stop there. They will ,may God forbid, reach the capitals of Europe and America where they will not leave the innocent citizens to live in peace and prosperity .Punjabis know Pashtun living both sides of the Durand line are one and same nation. When one part is disturbed the other will feel the warmth. Pashtun are being tipped as terrorists under a pre-planned conspiracy hatched against them by hostile forces. They are punished by the Pakistani real establishment as Pashtun are supporting the reconstruction and stability of Afghanistan , which the rulers of Pakistan can not endure to see. When Pakistan sees the bad and hard time for her then Pashtun are used as a shield to defend her but she should understand that this deception will be exposed very soon .The present bombardment in Waziristan is the example which could be cited , When anti- Pashtun and pro- terrorist forces are clearly and loudly supporting the terrorists. When a soldier of the allied forces is martyred in Afghanistan as to who will be held responsible for his martyrdom who has come to Afghanistan to let prevail stability there and establish peace and to gear up reconstruction process in that country of Pashtun/Afghans .Those who say that the Tribal are providing safe sanctuaries to terrorists are not aware of the real political situations of the area. Actually FATA has a political system which is run by the Political Agents. Here people are not allowed to do politics. Politics is the life line for a human being. When an individual has no basic human rights then how can he will be able to tell the high-ups of ISI and Pakistani establishment not to bring terrorists to their areas .Tribal Pashtuns are faced with very critical situations. They do not know where to go and what to do? Few suggestions are put forwards to be heeded:
1-Pashtuns should be brought closer rather fighting against them
2-Pakistani establishment should be pressurized to stop assassination of the Pashtun tribal and political traditional leadership which paves the way for terrorists and fundamentalists to fill the vaccum.
3-In FATA and other settled areas influential/Political people should be taken into confidence.
4-Pakistani establishment/ISI should not be blindly followed who have been telling a lie about the Pashtun to the west and America .
5-West and Americans should realize that Pashtuns are human being and know how to deal with the foes and friends.
6-Pashtuns are secular people. They should be made friends .If Supply line is disconnected, Arabs are advised not to send money to the fundamentalist clergy and their supporters who are continuing constructing seminaries where the young are got admitted unaware of the modern day necessities and knowledge.
7-Pashtuns areas/Tribal should be developed. Schools, colleges, roads, hospitals should be set-up and employment opportunities be created
8-Youth are going to Jihadi organizations by the support of so-called ISI and extremist clergy .For this purpose political parties act should be extended to the FATA and political parties be allowed to do politics in those areas .In this way, fundamentalist and extremist tendencies will come to an end while tolerance, democracy and enlightenment will prevail.
9-FCR and other inhuman laws from FATA should be abolished as we think that this is an insult of the Pashtun in 21st century .FATA is being used against Afghanistan as was used against former USSR two decades ago. But this should be understood that Pashtun and their areas are burning while they do not know as to where they should go because we are not the part of the game which is being played on the name of religion on the land of the Pashtuns. This should also be kept in mind that Pashtuns are not against Afghanistan as they consider Afghanistan their own home and understand that allied forces stationed in Afghanistan have been fighting to save the history, language, geography, and culture of the Pashtun /Afghan which were to be diminished by the enemies few years ago. Pashtuns want to see a stable,democratic and prosperous Afghanistan as they know that their future is tied with the stability of the Afghanistan .
10-Americans and allied forces should not pullout the forces from Afghanistan . Because Afghanistan still needs them and the region as well. If the foreign troops leave Afghanistan , there again will start a war like situation where terrorists, their supporters and promoters will seize the Kabul once again and the West and Americans including the region of Pashtun will see a deluge of the terrorism which they will not even think. The capitals of these countries will be targeted by the terrorists and the blood of the innocent citizens will flow (May God forbid).Kabul will also be seized by the enemies of the Pashtun/Afghan who have been dreaming to occupy it since long but thanks to Americans and allied forces which thwarted their nefarious designs and saved Pashtuns from annihilation by the enemies.
11-To strengthen the traditional/Political leadership in tribal/Pashtun areas will yield valuables dividends. Pashtuns are the victims of the extremism in region. Talibanisation is a great threat to their identity and culture. Extremist and obscurantist forces should not be allowed to suppress progressive nationalist and secular leaders and people who seek enlightened moderation, traditional values and secular rule.
12-Tribal/Pashtun elders and civic institution should be provided effective resources to strengthen civil society and empower moderate political parties and groups.
13-Durand line should not be closed for people as both sides are one people/Nations and this is a global trend to open borders and break-down boundaries
14-Terrorists should be isolated, not the tribes and communities. US should help solidifying the basis for long term peace, stability and development in the region
15-Americans should not repeat the blunder what the former USSR had committed in region.
Let me conclude with the following lines from a Nazi victim,
First they came for the Jews
And I did not protest
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for communists
And I did not protest
Because I was not a communist
Then they came for the trade unionist
And I did not protest
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To protest for me
Now the Pashtun Nation will have to seriously ponder over the political situations in their region as we anticipate that a very dangerous situations are ahead as we Pashtun will try our best to remove the stigma of terrorism and extremism from us and show the civilized world that we are neither terrorists nor fundamentalists and nor the supporters of the said negative forces .We are the people who know better how to go along side of the world.

These terrorists are used to disturb the peace and tranquility in Afghanistan and to frighten the allied forces under the American command to flee from Afghanistan as the pro- fundamentalist forces anticipate that one day the Americans will leave Afghanistan and they (pro-terrorists) will take the control of the Kabul once again which I think their dream will never be materialized. Americans and allied forces should understand it that today Kabul is weak and crocodiles and wolves are all around. In case, the warring factions will again start their fighting’s and terrorists will not stop there. They will ,may God forbid, reach the capitals of Europe and America where they will not leave the innocent citizens to live in peace and prosperity .Punjabis know Pashtun living both sides of the Durand line are one and same nation. When one part is disturbed the other will feel the warmth. Pashtun are being tipped as terrorists under a pre-planned conspiracy hatched against them by hostile forces. They are punished by the Pakistani real establishment as Pashtun are supporting the reconstruction and stability of Afghanistan , which the rulers of Pakistan can not endure to see. When Pakistan sees the bad and hard time for her then Pashtun are used as a shield to defend her but she should understand that this deception will be exposed very soon .The present bombardment in Waziristan is the example which could be cited , When anti- Pashtun and pro- terrorist forces are clearly and loudly supporting the terrorists. When a soldier of the allied forces is martyred in Afghanistan as to who will be held responsible for his martyrdom who has come to Afghanistan to let prevail stability there and establish peace and to gear up reconstruction process in that country of Pashtun/Afghans .Those who say that the Tribal are providing safe sanctuaries to terrorists are not aware of the real political situations of the area. Actually FATA has a political system which is run by the Political Agents. Here people are not allowed to do politics. Politics is the life line for a human being. When an individual has no basic human rights then how can he will be able to tell the high-ups of ISI and Pakistani establishment not to bring terrorists to their areas .Tribal Pashtuns are faced with very critical situations. They do not know where to go and what to do? Few suggestions are put forwards to be heeded:
1-Pashtuns should be brought closer rather fighting against them
2-Pakistani establishment should be pressurized to stop assassination of the Pashtun tribal and political traditional leadership which paves the way for terrorists and fundamentalists to fill the vaccum.
3-In FATA and other settled areas influential/Political people should be taken into confidence.
4-Pakistani establishment/ISI should not be blindly followed who have been telling a lie about the Pashtun to the west and America .
5-West and Americans should realize that Pashtuns are human being and know how to deal with the foes and friends.
6-Pashtuns are secular people. They should be made friends .If Supply line is disconnected, Arabs are advised not to send money to the fundamentalist clergy and their supporters who are continuing constructing seminaries where the young are got admitted unaware of the modern day necessities and knowledge.
7-Pashtuns areas/Tribal should be developed. Schools, colleges, roads, hospitals should be set-up and employment opportunities be created
8-Youth are going to Jihadi organizations by the support of so-called ISI and extremist clergy .For this purpose political parties act should be extended to the FATA and political parties be allowed to do politics in those areas .In this way, fundamentalist and extremist tendencies will come to an end while tolerance, democracy and enlightenment will prevail.
9-FCR and other inhuman laws from FATA should be abolished as we think that this is an insult of the Pashtun in 21st century .FATA is being used against Afghanistan as was used against former USSR two decades ago. But this should be understood that Pashtun and their areas are burning while they do not know as to where they should go because we are not the part of the game which is being played on the name of religion on the land of the Pashtuns. This should also be kept in mind that Pashtuns are not against Afghanistan as they consider Afghanistan their own home and understand that allied forces stationed in Afghanistan have been fighting to save the history, language, geography, and culture of the Pashtun /Afghan which were to be diminished by the enemies few years ago. Pashtuns want to see a stable,democratic and prosperous Afghanistan as they know that their future is tied with the stability of the Afghanistan .
10-Americans and allied forces should not pullout the forces from Afghanistan . Because Afghanistan still needs them and the region as well. If the foreign troops leave Afghanistan , there again will start a war like situation where terrorists, their supporters and promoters will seize the Kabul once again and the West and Americans including the region of Pashtun will see a deluge of the terrorism which they will not even think. The capitals of these countries will be targeted by the terrorists and the blood of the innocent citizens will flow (May God forbid).Kabul will also be seized by the enemies of the Pashtun/Afghan who have been dreaming to occupy it since long but thanks to Americans and allied forces which thwarted their nefarious designs and saved Pashtuns from annihilation by the enemies.
11-To strengthen the traditional/Political leadership in tribal/Pashtun areas will yield valuables dividends. Pashtuns are the victims of the extremism in region. Talibanisation is a great threat to their identity and culture. Extremist and obscurantist forces should not be allowed to suppress progressive nationalist and secular leaders and people who seek enlightened moderation, traditional values and secular rule.
12-Tribal/Pashtun elders and civic institution should be provided effective resources to strengthen civil society and empower moderate political parties and groups.
13-Durand line should not be closed for people as both sides are one people/Nations and this is a global trend to open borders and break-down boundaries
14-Terrorists should be isolated, not the tribes and communities. US should help solidifying the basis for long term peace, stability and development in the region
15-Americans should not repeat the blunder what the former USSR had committed in region.
Let me conclude with the following lines from a Nazi victim,
First they came for the Jews
And I did not protest
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for communists
And I did not protest
Because I was not a communist
Then they came for the trade unionist
And I did not protest
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To protest for me
Now the Pashtun Nation will have to seriously ponder over the political situations in their region as we anticipate that a very dangerous situations are ahead as we Pashtun will try our best to remove the stigma of terrorism and extremism from us and show the civilized world that we are neither terrorists nor fundamentalists and nor the supporters of the said negative forces .We are the people who know better how to go along side of the world.

Students in militancy hit areas are not going to schools
It is reported that children in Swat,Shangla and Waziristan are not going to schools and colleges due to unrest and political uncertain situations in said areas of Pashtunkhwa.All students and their parents are scared to go out of their houses due to worst security problems.schools and colleges are also closed for the last several months. parents and relatives of the students are worried about the future of their children. .In such uncertain situations the most vulnerable people are children and women who are badly affected due to indiscriminate bombardment and curfew .the future of the children of the pashtuns seems to be dark. Due to the wrong anti-pashtun policies of the establishment of pakistan, the future of the pashtun nation as a whole is at stake. mulla and military both are responsible for producing terrorists, extremists and obscurrentist forces and the promotion of these negative elements is the aim and objectiv of the said mulla-military. Both conspire to let pashtun children lag behind the ornament of eduction and they want to see them going towards extremism and fundamentalism which are suitable terms for the clergy and military in the region and serve their purpose. uneducated and ignorant pashtun could be easily deceived and used as compared to one who is educated and literate. The ignorant people are told that the foreign troops have occupied Afghanistan, go there and and fight against them as it is a Jehad (Holy War).But we Pashtun term it as baseless,groundless and a pack of lies.Foreign troops have come to Afghanistan as the saviour of the Pashtun/Afghans who protected our culture,language,history and national identity which were at extinct by the negative and anti-pashtun/Afghan forces in the region.The foreign forces have come behind terrorists and their staunch promoters who now pretend to have termed against them but in reality the support is still there.We hope that foreign troops in kabul will teach a lesson to those who have been supporting the terrorists since long sitting miles away from Durand line.But foreign troops should not do such acts which will go against Pashtun /Afghans.International community should take the matter of the pashtun/Afghan students espacially girls very serious as the closure of the educational institutions in Pashtun areas will help in breeding extremism and fundamentalism in region which will not be only a threat to the region but will create problems for the entire peaceful world as well.The uneducated youth will be got addmitted in religious seminaries where they are thought what goes against the future of the Pashtun/Afghan people and civilised world.Pashtun need education,health facilities,sanitation and good life particularly in FATA.Pashtun do not like extremism and fundamentalism which darken their future and turn them against the civilised nature of the world.The attitudes of our youth will become democratic and tolerant when provided with good education.Positive and saneful people should be taken into confidence among Pashtun/Afghans who wish to see Pashtun youth tolerant,democratic and educated to walk side by side with modern world.

Zalmay Khalil zad and biased writers
Zalmay Khalil Zad
There are a large number of writers in Pakistan who are not tired while writing against Afghanistan and those who wish peace, stability and property in that war-ravaged country. Sometimes back a local newspaper publishes from metropolitan Peshawar carried a story where American ambassador to Kabul His Excellency Zalmay khalil zad was alleged to have spoken against the negative role of Islamabad foreign policy towards Afghanistan. The language used in the said writing was absolutely inhuman, unethical and contrary to decency.
Such anti-Afghan writings and apolitical approach of the biased writers in Pakistan put me in trouble as I am a pashtun nationalist who dares Afghanistan and honor all those who long for the peace, stability prosperity and development of Afghanistan .We discussed the same writing in the meeting of pakhtun democratic council , a political organization struggling for the rights of Pukhtun/Afghans living everywhere in the world. Almost all the participants slated such unethical remarks and strongly condemned what the daily had published. On the insistence of the participants of the council, a rejoinder was prepared and taken to the office of daily. But sorry to say that our reply never got a space to be published. The writer had penned that ex-American ambassador Zalmay khlil zad was a persona non- grata and when he speaks against Pakistan that’s poisonous. He stings like scorpion and bites like snakes. But the poor writer could not understand that Zalmay khlil zad was an honorable ambassador of US to Kabul. He was not like a poor common Afghan who had migrated to Pakistan where insulted and disgraced. He was the envoy of a country which saved the Afghans and Afghanistan from a dangerous monster which was prepared to swallow up them all along with their geography ,politics ,culture and history and were trying to mutilate them.
One should not wonder as to what I mean? The real monsters were terrorists who were nurtured and promoted by the enemies of the Pashtun and Afghanistan who wanted to hoist their flag on Kabul and capture it with force for the ulterior motives unaware of their disgraceful retreat and destroying their investment. Thanks to those who boldly fought against evil forces and got Afghanistan once again which was lost. Those forces martyred for the defense of the Afghans and Afghanistan is great and their services will be remembered. All the foreign countries which have landed their forces in Afghanistan wish to see a stable and developed and democratic Afghanistan. It is expected that Americans and allies want to make that country a democratic welfare and model state in Asia. We are optimist, but at same time we should also not forget that Afghanistan have enemies also, who can not tolerate to see a stable, democratic and prosperous Afghanistan. They create disturbance there. They use the propaganda that Afghanistan has foreign forces which have held Afghanistan just to play with the sentiments of the Pashto on across the Durand line. Pashtoon know it well that foreign troops have come to save Afghanistan. When there were no foreign troops in Afghanistan, what were the situations? One was fighting against other and if today foreign troops declare to withdraw from Afghanistan, the same even worst situations will happen. The enemies of Afghanistan will try to seize Afghanistan and will declare that Kabul belongs to them and no power on the earth will be able to get it back from the extremists and their promoters. Pashtun/Afghan should take it very serious as this is ultimately our problem for our survival. Americans and Europeans should understand that terrorists will not leave them in their countries and capitals and their innocent souls will become preys for the crime which they have not committed if they think to leave Afghanistan at these critical times. European and Americans should take the propaganda of the enemies of Afghanistan in lighter vein as the people have seen cruelties and barbarism of the so-called clerics. People want peace, democracy, and development. They do not like terrorists and extremists to rule them. Those who cry for the withdrawal of the forces have their own agenda and for this purpose they have hired the propagandists among Punjabi pseudo writers and so called intellectuals who are myopic and short sighted. When ISAF forces came to Afghanistan the investment of a certain country in the from of the Taliban drowned. The retreated fundamentalist forces were provided the safe sanctuaries in the mountain areas situated near the Durand line known as FATA with the hope that very soon Americans would leave Afghanistan and they once again would get them landed in Kabul. When they came to know that America sent its forces to Iraq to fight there against Saddam Hussain, so once again the rival forces started instigating the insurgents to keep their intervention in Afghanistan and tease the foreign troops to leave that country. The establishment of Pakistan sitting in Islamabad intentionally made an atmosphere in pashtun areas where JUI and its component parties including Jumati Islami and other Islamic outfits were voted to power. Nationalists ,progressive and democratic political forces were discouraged and defeated at the same time as they needed the clerical fundamentalist forces in tribal areas where they could hide their retreated forces in tribal areas and in some settled areas of the pashtun . This entire cooked drama was prepared for just an attempt to intervene in Afghanistan and they have a supportive Govt in the backdrop, in simple words the establishment of Pakistan brought those Mullas in two provinces to support the extremist forces. Zalmay khalil zad was right to say that terrorists cross over Durand line and disturb peace in Afghanistan. Here question arises that weapons of USSR era in Afghanistan have finished, now it’s to be thought where this does this weapon come from? And who help to bring it? And the entire game is near the Durand line? It is claimed that Pashtun are doing it. No, never Pashtuns area is being used . One should think that the Pashtuns living in Qundoos, a province in the north of Afghanistan are not fighting why? Only those areas which are attached with Pakistan are engaged in fighting.
Zalmay khalik zad is aware of the drama because he had the knowledge of the region. It was a pride for entire Afghanistan and Pashtun that zalmay was an ambassador for America. This is of course very interesting for us all. . Now it is up to Pashtun to foil the conspiracy of the clever enemy and get salvation of their intricacies. ? It was also written in that write-up that Afghanistan was not an important country. I think the writer was a mad person. Afghanistan was founded in 1747 by great Ahmad shah Baba while Pakistan of Jinnah came into the being in 1947, Which means that both have an age difference of 200 years. This is the same Afghanistan due to which Pakistan was saved at the cost of destruction of former. This is the same Afghanistan due to which many generals of Pakistan became so rich that their accumulated wealth will be enough for their coming seven generations. Americans are requested to send back zalmay khalilzad to Kabul as ambassador as he talks honestly and knows the conspiracies of the conspirators but this is hard for them. One should understand that lies have no feet to stand upon and facts are forever facts.

American drones and future of region
American drones and future of region
By Zar Ali Khan Musazai
American drones are said to have hit the Bannu district of pakhtunkhwa province this time meaning that strikes by the American drones against alleged terrorists have entered settled areas from FATA. When Americans and allied forces came to Kabul in 2001 after the world trade center and pentagon were hit by the alleged terrorists. The then erstwhile rulers of the Kabul Taliban and Arab militants left Kabul and took shelter in the mountainous areas near Durand line in FATA. General Musharraf then president of Pakistan hit a deal with Americans to get more than 13 billion dollars to fight against extremist forces in FATA and wipe them out. Americans are said to be very wise people but they were apparently deceived by the military ruler. Americans were standing firmly behind the dictator who was friendly with the militants and more antagonistic against Pashtun people. It is on the record that the Pakistani generals used to tell during the quagmire of the then East Pakistan and now an independent country with name of Bangladesh, they needed the land not Bengalis, who were the real masters of their land and proved that ultimately they triumphed. Similarly General Musharraf also followed his predecessors and came hard on the Pashtun and mercilessly assassinated the influential people of the Pashtun in FATA including political activists, Maliks and anti- extremist tribal chiefs who thought that Musharraf and his cronies were really fighting terrorists but actually the situations were not as they thought to be and lost their lives. In oct.2002 a general election was held in which clergy was voted to win as the clergy was needed by the establishment of Pakistan under the rule of Musharraf. Religious parties in Pashtunkhwa and Baluchistan in their five years tenure did the best for the Pakistani establishment and Punjabi dominated civil and military bureaucracy who have always gone against Pashtun and Afghanistan. Extremist forces prepared themselves and when the Americans went to Iraq then once again they came out from their caves and started their subversive activities. Pashtun in FATA and settled areas were started beheaded and their houses looted and forced to leave their houses and villages. Today almost all people from FATA have left their homes in FATA and have come to relatively safer places in Peshawar and some of them are said to have gone to Afghanistan. The aim of the establishment was to get dollars from American on one hand and to show to the world that Pashtun nation is fundamentalist and pro extremist. This version of Pakistan was incorrect and biased against Pashtun people and it is evident from the past seven years record of the alliance with Americans against extremist forces that it badly failed and did nothing against the extremists rather they got stronger in FATA and other pashtun areas in province. Pashtun intellectuals and political people when and where got opportunity they have spoken the truth about all what was going on but the concerned people took it deaf ears and did not weigh what was said by the pashtun. Blind follow is not the good exercise. It wastes resources and time and inaccurate decisions take the people far away. Mulla and military joined hands to disgrace pashtun and put American in quagmire and keep Afghanistan disturbed as nationalism for Pakistan near Durand line is a forbidden tree as she is afraid that pashtun national unity will be disastrous for them. When American realized that they had also committed mistakes during their previous decisions. When the guests of Pakistani establishment came to know that further stay for them in FATA was difficult then most of them started coming to the settled areas and this is the reason that today the settled areas are being targeted and the incident of Bannu is the fresh case. If Pakistani establishment still keep continued what the Qazi Hussain, Imran khan ,Fazal Rahman and other leaders of the militant groups including PML(N) and other right wing and conservative parties and individual say then further worst time will be waiting for Pakistan.

Ban on girls education in Swat
Ban on girls education in Swat
BY
Zar Ali khan Musazai
Militants in Swat had threatened to schools to halt girls’ education by January 15 and in case of non- compliance of the order, the Schools would be bombed and demolished. When the students of Swat heard it both they and their parents fell in to shock and could express nothing except just looking at each other in a state of despair and sheer disappointment. They understand it that their future went bleak and dark. People living in Swat do understand that they are Muslims and Muslims know it that seeking education in Religion Islam is obligatory for both male and female alike and that’s the reason that the inhabitants of Swat let their children go to schools to obey the commandment of the prophet of Islam. But the militants in Swat are blind enough to the extent that they do not obey what their religion teaches them and obey all what is instructed by the promoters of the terrorists and enemies of the Pashtun /Afghan Nation. Militants claim that sending girls to schools is un-Islamic. We have said time and again that militants and military are one and the same and it is evident from the statement of a Punjabi – Pakistani foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi in Islamabad before media that militants fighting in swat and FATA against Pashtun are the patriotic Pakistanis. This one statement is enough that who are behind terrorists in Pashtun region. When militants are patriotic then Pashtun reserve the right to ask about all the destruction going on in Pashtun area as to who are responsible for the miseries of the Pashtun? The answer is simple and clear cut that only and only Punjabis are to be held responsible for the killing of Pashtun Mashran, political workers, journalists, tribal chiefs ,Children, women and youth on the hands of Taliban and Army which we consider one and the same. The former is working for the enemies, nefarious designs against Pashtun and Afghanistan while the latter is engaged fighting for the sake of getting dollars as they have no duty to perform. I would like to make it clear that we are not against the operation in our regions against terrorists but we do understand that it is a proxy and the ongoing operation is not meant against elimination of the terrorists rather it could be called as a friendly fire between militants and military. Since childhood we hear that Pakistan has a force which is inconvincible. Now we observe that the same Army is present in Swat and FATA to fight against terrorists but till this day we are unable to hear that they have captured the known terrorists and it further consolidated our thinking that today militants in Swat ordered to halt the girls’ schools. In the presence of more than 50000 forces how is it possible that a mullah will rise and issue what he wishes. I think that there are only one or two small roads leading towards Swat valley. If they are closed the entire drama could be brought to an end. This task can be performed by only two soldiers .If Pakistani Army is unable to eliminate the so called terrorists then they should voluntarily accept it and leave the brave Yousafzai Pashtun to set their home. All patriotic Pashtun in Swat and FATA should be armed and be backed by both Provincial govt. and international community and Pakistan will have no interference as this country could not set it for last several years. This problem could be solved in just few days but on the condition that Army will leave the area as people have lost confidence in it. We also request the federal govt of Pakistan and the Punjabi establishment to take their guests back their home Punjab and leave Pashtun at their own to set their home right. We understand it when Americans came to Kabul the terrorists were defeated there and were forced to flee and they were provided shelter by the friends of militants in the entire Pakistan. They were asked to remain dormant and go to hibernation for a while as the Bush was threatening the then Iraq president Saddam Hussain at that time and as Americans entangled there then the militants started coming out of their hide outs and set their sojourn towards Afghanistan to fight the ISAF and NATO forces. When Pakistan realized that Americans would not stop in Afghanistan and would move towards the areas administered by Pakistan then she started a civil war like situations in FATA and other Pashtun areas like Swat etc. Punjabis want to save Islamabad and Punjab from the Americans and NATO forces and that’s, the reason that today we see fire all around in Pashtun region as the Punjabis want to keep Americans busy in Pashtun Watan and do not let Americans come closer to them and to keep them engaged in the areas of Pashtun. In such circumstances on one hand they will get dollars and save Punjab and Islamabad while on other Pashtun and Americans will have to engage as I think both should ponder over and analyze the real situations and know who the real enemy has been working behind the scene? .The present scenario is destructive for Pashtun nation as the militants want to take us to the darkness of stone age and turn our nation towards ignorance which is not acceptable to us all. I would like to ask the international community as to why they came to Kabul and behind whom? Definitely they came behind terrorists in Afghanistan. When the same people are present in lower Pashtunkhwa why the international community is silent? .Our schools are demolished, bridged are bombed, political workers are assassinated, journalists are tortured, girls are halted to go to schools and the entire infrastructure was destroyed even the dead bodies were exhumed out of the graves and put on gallows in chowkes in front of the entire free world. All the government institutions were badly failed to control the destructive situations and save Pashtun nation from elimination. Now the international community should realize the situations and help Pashtun to save the future of their children from the darkness of the ignorance and to help create opportunities to enlighten their children with the candles of the modern day education so that this nation could walk side by side with the civilized world. The Punjabis stage protests and demonstrations against the bombardments of Israelis on the Palestine while they have never come out to mourn the destruction of the Pashtun which indicates their involvement in war in Pashtun area and their support for the militants and military alike.

Militants in Swat had threatened to schools to halt girls’ education by January 15 and in case of non- compliance of the order, the Schools would be bombed and demolished. When the students of Swat heard it both they and their parents fell in to shock and could express nothing except just looking at each other in a state of despair and sheer disappointment. They understand it that their future went bleak and dark. People living in Swat do understand that they are Muslims and Muslims know it that seeking education in Religion Islam is obligatory for both male and female alike and that’s the reason that the inhabitants of Swat let their children go to schools to obey the commandment of the prophet of Islam. But the militants in Swat are blind enough to the extent that they do not obey what their religion teaches them and obey all what is instructed by the promoters of the terrorists and enemies of the Pashtun /Afghan Nation. Militants claim that sending girls to schools is un-Islamic. We have said time and again that militants and military are one and the same and it is evident from the statement of a Punjabi – Pakistani foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi in Islamabad before media that militants fighting in swat and FATA against Pashtun are the patriotic Pakistanis. This one statement is enough that who are behind terrorists in Pashtun region. When militants are patriotic then Pashtun reserve the right to ask about all the destruction going on in Pashtun area as to who are responsible for the miseries of the Pashtun? The answer is simple and clear cut that only and only Punjabis are to be held responsible for the killing of Pashtun Mashran, political workers, journalists, tribal chiefs ,Children, women and youth on the hands of Taliban and Army which we consider one and the same. The former is working for the enemies, nefarious designs against Pashtun and Afghanistan while the latter is engaged fighting for the sake of getting dollars as they have no duty to perform. I would like to make it clear that we are not against the operation in our regions against terrorists but we do understand that it is a proxy and the ongoing operation is not meant against elimination of the terrorists rather it could be called as a friendly fire between militants and military. Since childhood we hear that Pakistan has a force which is inconvincible. Now we observe that the same Army is present in Swat and FATA to fight against terrorists but till this day we are unable to hear that they have captured the known terrorists and it further consolidated our thinking that today militants in Swat ordered to halt the girls’ schools. In the presence of more than 50000 forces how is it possible that a mullah will rise and issue what he wishes. I think that there are only one or two small roads leading towards Swat valley. If they are closed the entire drama could be brought to an end. This task can be performed by only two soldiers .If Pakistani Army is unable to eliminate the so called terrorists then they should voluntarily accept it and leave the brave Yousafzai Pashtun to set their home. All patriotic Pashtun in Swat and FATA should be armed and be backed by both Provincial govt. and international community and Pakistan will have no interference as this country could not set it for last several years.

Militancy in Pashtunkhwa and repercussions
By Zar Ali Khan Musazai
Some times back J1 Ameer Qazi Hussian Ahmad staged a protest demonstration in Khyber Bazar Peshawar and demanded of the government to halt supply to NATO in Afghanistan. His party men and other activists proudly and foolishly proclaimed that they had started a campaign which would create hindrances for the forces stationed in Afghanistan which have perched there under the resolution of UN. One wonders as to why Jumat-i-Islami got impetus these days to stop supply line though they were the masters of gold and silver only a year time ago in this province of Pashtun but they kept mum by the time and the supply was smoothly going on and there was neither religion involved nor any other harm but now they realized it to be against the religion which they exploit and mislead the innocent souls on the name of religion. There are reports that US military sends 75% of supplies to Afghanistan through, Khyber Pass, includes 40% of the fuel for its troops. NATO and Russia signed a land transit agreement in April last year allowing alliance to use Russian land to deliver non-lethal supplies to troops; in Afghanistan.
On Thursday feb.5, 2009 Tehrik-e-Taliban spokesman Molvi Omar warned that TTP would accelerate its attacks on NATO containers if the supply was not stopped from Pakistan to Afghanistan.
On the same day Taliban claimed responsibility for torching 12 NATO supplies containers and blowing up a bridge in Khyber Agency.
An operation “Darghlam” was initiated by security forces in Khyber Agency few days back where Several hundred houses of the people were demolished who were alleged to have kept the insurgents but it was alleged that a single terrorist was neither arrested nor killed in the operation only the general public came under the wrath of the security forces of Pakistan who are supposed to defend the people targeted them and left the actual stuff who are considered their own loyal lots and blue -eyed loving boys.
The insurgents fled away from the scenes and hid somewhere at a short distance of the road side, meaning out of sight, out of mind. The insurgents took no casualty and remained safe and sound as such insurgents are needed for next rounds which are prepared by the high ups sitting in Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
In pushto language, Darghlam means “I am coming”. This is a warning before one comes. It is simple that the insurgent are advised in early to hide somewhere in mountains or at least keep themselves away for a short while. So there are loopholes in the operation. This is half-hearted methodology. It lacks sincerity and commitment. Still the insurgents are roaming freely and can do any thing wrong they wish to do. They blow bridges. Destroy and torch schools. Halt supply lines. They hurled threats to all and sundry. Chief of the insurgents in Khyber Agency FATA, Mangal Bagh is freely moving from place to place. Even in the suburb of Peshawar he calls people to Bara, Khyber Agency and gives them punishment if found guilty as he thinks. Most of the people take their cases to him and he has his own style of lslamic courts.. Here I am not talking of the Khyber Agency. He has accelerated his efforts to establish himself in Peshawar, district. His men came to a village Bazid Khel, Badaber, Peshawar last morning to get a man hand cuffed from there to Khyber Agency who was alleged to be involved in a crime, (Badaber is a town where the Americans had established a camp in late 50s for the surveillance of the former Russian states through U2). The supporters of the UC Nazim and the militants started firing each other. People of the surrounding villages came flocking with the guns and Kalashnikovs and killed all the 9, militants on the spot. Local police also came for the help of the villagers against terrorists. Later on the dead bodies of the militants were handed over to the political administration of Khyber Agency who gave them to Mangal group of extremists. On his FM radio Mangal Bagh condemned this incidence saying all the killed were martyrs in the way of God and those who killed them were called as killers. He threatened them with stern consequences. He asked the people of the concerned villages to hoist black-flags on their houses to commemorate the martyrs sacrifice.(His own version). Here all the three members of the Provincial Assembly of Pakhtunkhwa namely khushdal khan Advocate, Deputy speaker Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, Saqibullah Khan Chamkani and Alamgir khan Khalil thronged to the Hujra of Nazim Fahim Khan and assured their all out assistance, to combat insurgents in the area. Deputy Speaker demanded of governor to take action against Mangal Bagh within 2 weeks otherwise people of the area themselves would devise strategy against religious militants. Khalil and Mohmand tribes deiced to get united against militants. It is worth mentioning here that when Pashtun were disgraced and humiliated by the Mughal rulers of India, Aimal khan Mahmand was the first man who took the sword and started fighting against the enemies of the Pashtun nation. Today when all the Pashtun are fed up with the enemies or the Agents of the enemies once again the sons of Aimal khan Mahmand rose up to defend the Pashtun nation. Here I would call upon other Pashtun tribes to rise against enemies and their purchased Agents and save Pashtun women, girls and children from the dark future and genocide initiated by the Punjabis like Mughals in late 17 century .Here I come to my concerned topic again to mention the actual story of the militants and villagers. All the threats by the militants were taken deaf ear and the brave villagers of Mahmand and Khalil tribes warned if the militants were not controlled by the incumbent governor then they are ready to fight against the extremists in their centers which are located in FATA by the friends of the terrorists not with the consent of the common tribal people as the tribal Pashtun have also been made as hostage. In Pukhtunkhwa (, Province, FATA + PATA) dogs are free while stones are tied. Militants have free hand to move anywhere and they can do everything they want. There is no writ of the government. But at the same time, the security agencies are either unable to control the militants or they are afraid themselves or intentionally have been given free hand. People who are averse to the interpretation of the militants are lifted from the roads, houses and offices in the broad day light and then their life is in the hands of the militants. Women, children old and young all people in Pukhtunkhwa are suffering from tension 24 hours and they have the thoughts for the safety of life. No one knows whether he will come back or not if goes to city. There are reports that there are more than 30 thousands militants armed in Peshawar city alone and what to say of the rural areas where there is a mashroom growth of the religious seminaries working 24 hours. Bajour, Mahmand, Orakzai, North and South Waziristan, Swat, Tank, Bannu, D.I.Khan and Peshawar are in the full control of Taliban. It is claimed loudly by the establishment of Pakistan that her armed forces are engaged fighting against terrorists but the actual picture is some what different as the common people have come too realized from their practical experiences and miseries that military and militants are same and only innocent Pashtun are targeted by both. All most all Pashtun are ready to call UN peace forces to the region and trust on Pakistani security forces does not exist any more.
The establishment of Pakistan broke the Pashtun Code. There is imminent danger that one tribe will fight against other and this will yield dangerous results. This enmity will last for decades. Pashtun nation will be destroyed. Pashtuns think that Punjabi needs their land. Punjabi Generals were heard in 1971, saying that they needed land not people of Bangladesh. Doctors, Engineers, Students, Teachers, Political Workers, and intellectuals of the Bengalis were murdered. On December 15, 1971, the Pakistani security forces said that they were wining but only one day after it on December 16, 1971 the army surrendered and badly defeated. Bangladesh was created and two nations theory was drowned in Arabian Sea. The Pakistan of Jinnah was broken in to 2 parts and the foundation of nazria Pakistan was laid by Genral Sher Ali in 1971. In Bangladesh militants Al-Shams and Al-Bader were the colleagues of Pakistan army who were fighting side by side against the people of Bangladesh more than 3 million Bengalis were butcherd. More than 5 lacks women were raped. These Punjabis fought in Afghanistan where they destroyed that country and wanted to make it as its fifth province. Punjabis broke the Pushtun Code to fulfill their dreams come true. Pakistan’s economy is a war economy. In Afghanistan it earned dollars through promoting militancy and supporting extremists. When Americans landed in Afghanistan in 2001 the Punjabis started war in pushtun region this side of Durand line to get dollars and create problems for the allied forces in Afghanistan. Punjabis want to earn dollars on one hand and on other it tries to engage Americans with pushtoon. Pushtoons are taught that Americans are non-Muslims and fighting jihad against them is obligatory. A factory is established in Punjab while mosque and seminary is setup in Pukhtunkhwa. Almost all the pushtun have migrated to comparatively safer places. Now in swat and FATA there are only military and militants who are one and the same. Both are sweet and loving friends. Talib is not killed. Only the innocents are targeted. The people left their homes. Now the game is going to be matured and the militants are coming to Peshawar and in surrounding area where the pseudo operation will start. People will suffer and militants will have free hand to do what they want and wish. Punjabis should remember and get lesson from the Bengalis when military and militants both fought against Bengalis the victory was for Bengalis and defeat was written in the fate of the military and militants both. Banning routes of Pashtun, assassinating their Mashran, demolishing the schools of their children, forcing them to either leave their homes or going to the camps of extremists who are fighting for the benefit of Punjabis as Agents, and other atrocities by the hands of the anti-Pashtun forces are unacceptable any more.. We do not need such Pakistan which is going to be protected on the heads, blood , debris of the walls and rooms, demolition of children schools and sacrifices of Pashtun nation.
A nazi victim narrates his ordeal in such words,
First they came for communist
And I did not speak
Because I was not a communist
Then they came for Jew
And I did not speak
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for trade unionist
And I did not speak
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for me
And there was no one to speak for me
Pashtun say that grave is a difficult place but a dead body will have to bear.
Great poet of Pashto language Rehman baba also says about the hard times in Peshawar:
Due to the barbarism and cruel acts of the cruel rulers
Now home, grave and Peshawar all the three are same.

Explosions at the tomb of Afghan Poet Rahman Baba
Explosions at the tomb of Afghan Poet Rahman Baba
Zar Ali Khan Musazai
This was shocking news to hear that terrorists and miscreants bombed the holy tomb of the Pashto language greatest mystic poet Rehman Baba situated in Hazar khwani village of Mahmand tribe of Pashtun/Afghan in the south of Peshawar city.. It was about 5pm when my eyes suddenly opened due to a big bang of the explosion. It does not mean that I was lying near to the site where this unfortunate incident occurred, but actually the intensity of the explosion was so severe that it shook the suburb of the Peshawar city and the sound could be heard at a distance of more than 8-9 kilometers in radius of Peshawar from the shrine of Rehman Baba. This was further shocking when I was called by one of friends in morning that the big bang we heard in dawn was of the terrorist explosion went off in the mausoleum of Baba. This unfortunate tragic news saddened me a lot and immediately thought that miscreants who committed this heinous crime could not be named as Pashtun, Muslims and human being. Such unlucky and mean terrorists committed a crime which could not be pardoned at any cost. Rehman baba is a mystic poet of Pashto language who preached love, humanity and fraternity in the world. He taught people to spread message of peace and humanity. He asks people to learn to be human being. Pashtun/Afghan all over the world shows him great respect and reverence and there is no single Pashtun who will oppose him. He is a person who has no enmity with no one and he is respected by all and sundry alike. Baba in Pashto language is one who is the most dignified personality among the Pashtun/Afghan and Rehman baba comes at the top of such list of the Pashtun. Besides, Khushal Baba, Mirwais neeka (Baba) and Ahmad shah baba are the dignified and greatest personalities of the Pashtun/Afghan nation. These are the persons who have made place in the hearts of Pashtun and have made the history. Any one dares to show disrespect to the said personality’s means that he/she invites wrath and rage of the Pashtun/Afghan. The unfortunate incident happened to the grave of Rehman baba caused great unrest and angered Pashtun / Afghan and his followers. This is intolerable. Pashtun show respect to the graves of the people and wish other to respond in same manner. Bombing tomb of Rehman baba means a clear declaration of war against Pashtun/Afghan. Pashtun are being burnt in fire for last 30 years in fire. Their houses destroyed, schools and colleges demolished, hospitals ruined, roads and entire infrastructure bombed and made debris. Pashtun children were made ignorant and illiterate.. The purpose behind was to get this nation forget its past history, its culture, its language, its leaders, its politicians, its Mashran, its religious entities, its poets, its heroes, its brave deeds, its land and national cohesion and Unity. This is our past and we are proud of it. We are proud of our history, culture, language, geography, poets, politicians and their brave deeds and never repent what our elders have done. For last 30 years on one pretence or other Pashtun/Afghan have been forced to forget their history and leave their culture and adopt the orthodox and fundamental type of dogmatic belief which has no relation with religion Islam rather it is a particular belief of Arabs. This exercise is being practiced by some misled and strayed minds and wish to destroy all what shows a little bit difference with their particular kind of dogma. People need to show tolerance and endurance. Every one should have to have a courage and steadfastness to stand boldly and face this storm which has been hitting the heads of Pashtun since long.

This was shocking news to hear that terrorists and miscreants bombed the holy tomb of the Pashto language greatest mystic poet Rehman Baba situated in Hazar khwani village of Mahmand tribe of Pashtun/Afghan in the south of Peshawar city.. It was about 5pm when my eyes suddenly opened due to a big bang of the explosion. It does not mean that I was lying near to the site where this unfortunate incident occurred, but actually the intensity of the explosion was so severe that it shook the suburb of the Peshawar city and the sound could be heard at a distance of more than 8-9 kilometers in radius of Peshawar from the shrine of Rehman Baba. This was further shocking when I was called by one of friends in morning that the big bang we heard in dawn was of the terrorist explosion went off in the mausoleum of Baba. This unfortunate tragic news saddened me a lot and immediately thought that miscreants who committed this heinous crime could not be named as Pashtun, Muslims and human being. Such unlucky and mean terrorists committed a crime which could not be pardoned at any cost. Rehman baba is a mystic poet of Pashto language who preached love, humanity and fraternity in the world. He taught people to spread message of peace and humanity. He asks people to learn to be human being. Pashtun/Afghan all over the world shows him great respect and reverence and there is no single Pashtun who will oppose him. He is a person who has no enmity with no one and he is respected by all and sundry alike. Baba in Pashto language is one who is the most dignified personality among the Pashtun/Afghan and Rehman baba comes at the top of such list of the Pashtun. Besides, Khushal Baba, Mirwais neeka (Baba) and Ahmad shah baba are the dignified and greatest personalities of the Pashtun/Afghan nation. These are the persons who have made place in the hearts of Pashtun and have made the history. Any one dares to show disrespect to the said personality’s means that he/she invites wrath and rage of the Pashtun/Afghan. The unfortunate incident happened to the grave of Rehman baba caused great unrest and angered Pashtun / Afghan and his followers. This is intolerable. Pashtun show respect to the graves of the people and wish other to respond in same manner. Bombing tomb of Rehman baba means a clear declaration of war against Pashtun/Afghan. Pashtun are being burnt in fire for last 30 years in fire. Their houses destroyed, schools and colleges demolished, hospitals ruined, roads and entire infrastructure bombed and made debris. Pashtun children were made ignorant and illiterate.. The purpose behind was to get this nation forget its past history, its culture, its language, its leaders, its politicians, its Mashran, its religious entities, its poets, its heroes, its brave deeds, its land and national cohesion and Unity. This is our past and we are proud of it. We are proud of our history, culture, language, geography, poets, politicians and their brave deeds and never repent what our elders have done. For last 30 years on one pretence or other Pashtun/Afghan have been forced to forget their history and leave their culture and adopt the orthodox and fundamental type of dogmatic belief which has no relation with religion Islam rather it is a particular belief of Arabs. This exercise is being practiced by some misled and strayed minds and wish to destroy all what shows a little bit difference with their particular kind of dogma. People need to show tolerance and endurance. Every one should have to have a courage and steadfastness to stand boldly and face this storm which has been hitting the heads of Pashtun since long. But unfortunately such inhuman deeds are being performed by the state agencies and support these for the ulterior motives under a well cooked conspiracy to defame the Pashtun nation for being named as terrorists. The culture of Pashtun is at stake. Pashtun singers/Artistes are kidnapped by militants and get released on the condition that they will be bound to go to Lahore, a city of Punjab where they will have to spend 120 days in Tableegh(A preaching Islamic religious group of Lahore brand ). Among them who is unwilling to go to Lahore then he/she is intimidated to the extent that leaves the country and settles abroad. One who sings for Pashtun, he is punished and orders him to forsake singing? When poets and singers are disrespected and discouraged how language and literature will be promoted. This will destroy the Pashtun/Afghan nation. All Pashtun intellectuals, Poets, Politicians, Literary minds, students, teachers, Journalists and Pashtun belonging to all walks of life should have to wake up from deep slumber to protect their past, brighten the present and leave good for future posterity.
