Education institutions are demolished and targeted which is a great loss to our people. This process should immediately be stopped and government is responsible to protect our education institutions and schools from menace of terrorism. Students are deprived of the basic right which is called education. When schools are bombed then where students will get education from? He posed question. He also lamented on lingering problems of the students at schools, college and university level. He demanded of the government to exempt fee of all suffered students and facilities be provided to them in admissions and other expenses. He demanded that 20% more fund from Kerry Lugar bill should be spent on education institutions and students of Pakhtunkhwa province and FATA.

He demanded of compensation for affected people and urged government to stop terrorists to refrain from heinous crimes against innocent people of FATA and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He flayed that despite several years of military operation FATA was not cleared which is an irresponsible attitude on the part of government and security agencies. Manzoor Afridi General Secretary of TNC in his address said that government should take drastic steps to save the future of our nation. The situations indicate that the country is going to be lost.

Pashtun Democratic Council strongly condemns assassination of Habib Jalib Baloch
Chairman Pashtun Democratic Council Zar ali Khan musazai has strongly condemned the assassination of Habib Jalib Baloch Central Secretary General Balochistan National Party. The assassination of Jalib proved that Baloch have been alienated and were kept deprived of their rights over their resources and home. Those who raise the issue then his/her voice is silenced by the establishment of Pakistan. The establishment is not tired saying that Pakistan was made on the name of religion which was and still is wrong. The nations can not be formed on the name of the religion. In Pakistan such hollow and deceptive slogans are heard which I personally conceive will not help keep this country intact. When a state turns ruthless against its people then stability and peace could never be seen in real meaning. Bengalis had made this country but today they are no more part of this country and are having an independent state with their own name. Bengalis were treated ill. Their political and intellectual people were ruthlessly assassinated and Muslim women were disgraced by the so called champions of Islam. The rulers and establishment of this ill fated country did not learn lesson from the past and today Baloch and Pakhtun are also treated ill. Tyranny can not be endured for a long time and ultimately the Baloch people will be triumphant and the establishment will be loser. This country was made on the resolution of 1940, which is celebrated every year with fervor and enthusiasm but do not accept what the resolution tells them. When Baloch want either freedom or complete autonomy of Balochistan then what is wrong there as this has already been mentioned in resolution of 1940. What type of the state is it that on one side it is busy killing Pakhtun for the crimes it has committed itself and is doing till today and on other Baloch have been occupied and are being killed by the state agencies which is condemnable.
Pakhtun Democratic Council condemns the killing of Habib Jalib once again and expresses its sympathy with the family of deceased, his party workers and all Baloch people and nation.

PDC condemns suicide attack in Mahmand Agency,FATA
We were shocked to hear the sad news of the gory suicide incident in Mahmand Agency, FATA in which more than 50 innocent people were martyred and more than 80 were severely wounded. FATA and its people have been suffering for the last many years and especially after 2001 when the extremism and terrorism took the area into its grip and made the people of FATA forced to either migrate to comparatively safer areas of the province or had to live on the terms and conditions of the militants and military alike.
The recent report of the Amnesty International is an eye opener in which it was clearly stated that more than 4 million innocent tribal people are hostage to the militants and military alike. People of the FATA are living as IDPs and they have no basic amenities for the life. Recently about 40 thousands people were forced to leave the area in FR Peshawar by the apparently militants. The stories of the trouble and agony of the people in FR-Peshawar were published in various newspapers and were highlighted in media but still to no avail.
PDC condemns the suicide incident in Mahmand Agency once again and demands of the government and other human rights organizations to do some thing positive and practical to save the people of FATA from such inhuman and barbaric acts.

Amnesty International and FATA
By Zar Ali Khan Musazai
In a recent Report issued by Amnesty International regarding Human Rights situations in FATA concern was shown that nearly 4 million people in FATA live under Taliban rule where they suffer human rights abuses from both militants and the Pakistani Army.
As if Hell Fell on ME, a report based on interviews with nearly 300 people, says millions live in a, human rights free zone, where militants torture and kill women aid workers and men without beards. Pakistani soldiers have also committed serious violations, including indiscriminate artillery fire and extrajudicial executions, as the army swept across the tribal belt over the past year, the report said.
FATA is a buffer between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Pakistan termed it its geography but till this very day since its creation in 1947, she has done no good to this part of the world.
Political freedom has been closed for the people of this area. Political parties act has not been yet extended to FATA. On Aug. 14, 2009 incumbent President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari announced abolition of FCR and extension of Political Parties Act but soon retreated back for the known reasons pressurized by military establishment not to dare intervene into the affairs of FATA.
As for as we know, there are reasons for pushing FATA into hell, the foremost is that area in question is still not having any constitutional status as to whose part is it? The second is that Pakistani establishment has been in its control to use it against Afghanistan and to take into hands who rules the Kabul. People at helm of affairs in Islamabad have no interest in those living in FATA (Native People of FATA) rather they have their own interest in FATA. We see that FATA has been used for the terrorism for the last nearly 30 years. Religious extremism was promoted by the establishment. Seminaries were constructed and people were encouraged to participate. Politics was termed as a forbidden flower for the people of FATA. They were told that they were different from those living both sides of them. But actually people who at their west and east are of the same ethnicity, Pashtun. They were also told that they were more brave and courageous than others and they had a unique culture. Many a times they were presented as the soldiers having no formal salary out of the national kitty which is supposed to be filled by the alms getting on the very name of tribal people. Actually people of FATA have never been antagonistic to any country or people. They have always remained as peaceful and secular people. In Tirah valley of Khyber Agency so many people are living who are Sikh, by religion. More than 30 thousands Christians have been also residing in FATA but there has never been an incident of killing, abducting or abusing each other. They have all rights what a tribesman and woman have except some what the FCR has taken from them. This is an excellent example of tolerance and secularism. People in Tirah go to the funeral prayers of their sikh brethren and have a good relation ship and no one counts him or her as alien. They have never scorned at them for being different from what they practice. Now we have to come to the facts as to what are the reasons that turned the situations sour. Due to an area like a black hole having no know how about politics and political parties’ presence the religious extremism was promoted and encouraged by the state sponsored agencies for the reasons already mentioned above. Political Agent was imposed on them to decide about their future. Militants from across the world and Punjab were invited by establishment to FATA and a farce like situations was developed in which several actors have been performing their respective acts. Militants were handed over the guns and weapons while on other players started getting fund from international community to apparently wipe out terrorists. In this whole drama the marginalized people of FATA has no role. They and their land are just used for the stage and getting money. Pakistani establishment is a fund starved one and would be using all means and tactics to get the dollars to fill the pockets and have an occasion to loot and plunder with both hands and the recent report of Transparency International also supported our view.
The report of Amnesty International should open the eyes of international community giving fund to the cheaters and robbers on the heads of tribal and FATA. People are hostage and they have been terrorized to the extent that no one in FATA could dare to discuss this issue and go to the bottom of the awful tale of the FATA residents. Most of the tribal have left for comparatively safer places to take shelter. Those who are still there are at the mercy of terrorists and military alike. More than 50000 innocent tribesmen and women were sacrificed for the sin they had not committed. About 3500 pro peace political people, tribal Malakan and influential were ruthlessly beheaded and assassinated Fund is coming and drowned the drain. Neither terrorism was wiped out nor did miseries of people come to an end.
Now it is the responsibility of the Pakistan government to do something for the betterment of the people in FATA because it has been getting the fund on its name but no one knows where it goes.

Incident of times Square and future of the region
Incident of Times Square and future of the region
By Zar ali khan musazai
Faisal Shehzad has admitted that he was a criminal and terrorist who wanted to explode the innocent American people at Time square, New York, USA. He belonged to Mohib Banda, a village situated at the west of district Nowshera adjacent to Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pukhtunkhawa. His family members and especially the former Nazim (Mayer of village) and a known political man who was associated with left politics during his student life Faiz Mohammad said that the Faisal had some changes for the last some time. The boy seemed to have developed relationship with the terrorist groups in Pakistan some where in Karachi and Nowshera. There are reports that the terrorist Shahzad had links with Taliban in Waziristan, FATA. Taliban spokesman had acknowledged that Pakistani Taliban were responsible for the terrorist attack in New York when heard about the incident and the report was published in so many Pakistani dailies but now the same Taliban sensing gravity of situations backtracked, saying that their Waziristan based group was not having any acquaintance with Faisal Shahzad and he might have got militancy training somewhere in Pakistan from another Jihadi out-fit. The Taliban though did not repent for what unfortunate incident occurred and despite they congratulated the Faisal Shahzad for his futile terrorist act, like the one we had heard from Al quada leadership after the incident of 9/11, 2001. If we go back to the 9/11, then we could easily find that all the terrorists were from Arab world and there was no one from any Pashtun area or Afghanistan there but minutes after the incident the American government asked the Taliban to hand over Osama and his cronies. Taliban,s response could not satisfy America and on Oct.7,2001, it perched its forces at the hills and plains of Afghanistan, compelled Taliban to leave the Kabul and flee to nearby mountains and adjacent areas across Durand line by the strong support of friendly Pakistan. Most of the militants were allowed to enter from Tora Bora to Tirah valley of Khyber Agency and Kurram Agency from where they were moved towards Waziristan and a new government of Islamic Emirate was established there. When Pakistan came under international pressure, she artificially made another drama in Swat to divert the attention of world from real situations in Waziristan. More than 4 million people were forced to vacate their areas and live as IDPs. Pakistani establishment got two benefits out of it. On one hand it diverted world attention from Waziristan and on other it got American dollars to crush Pashtun and disgrace their women and tribes on the name of terrorism while in actual terrorists were reared up by it itself as a strategic asset. During Swat operation some low caliber militants were crushed but the real stock was kept hidden once again to use them for next round. It is claimed that Swat was cleared from terrorists but in real terms it is wrong as we see that target killing has been launched by the terrorists and their mentors alike. People of Swat Amn Jirga(Peace Council) were assassinated after they asked military to go back from Swat and they themselves could dare to fight against terrorists. This utterance of the peaceful people enraged the military establishment and on next day the people of Amn Jirga were no more in this world. Just few days back I had a chance to participate in a peace mushaira (Poets gathering) in Buner along some leaders of Amn Tehreek, Convener Idrees Kamal and Syed Mukhtar Bacha. We witnessed a tension there due to presence of military and militants both. Both interrogate people frequently and ask about their loyalty about Army and Pakistan. The houses and shops of the people in Buner are painted with Pakistani flag showing that Pakistan Army has recaptured the area form the hold of terrorists but actually the area still has tension and few terrorists numbering not exceeding form 35 roaming in the mountain of Ilam. There were also reports from the residents of the area that military request them to help them arrest terrorist Taliban from the mountain. People agree reluctantly due to fear and Army duress, but refuse to be divided into small groups either by terrorists or otherwise. People claim that terrorists are the need of establishment as without their presence the Army will have no option left behind but to leave and at same time American dollars will be stopped funneling towards them. At a check post established by military near the house of absconder Taliban leader Rahim Khan I and Idrees Kamal were pulled out from the car at the check point near Gadezi. The soldier standing on duty intercepted us and asked for our Identity cards. Mine and Idrees Kamal ID cards were scissored down by the cop asking the driver not to seat them in car and will have to walk on foot for a long distance. People suffer from the hardships and problems by both military and militants.
There have been more than 9 years of the war against terror in our region and FATA but still there are militants every where in FATA though the Pakistan claims to have wiped out militants from FATA which has no weight and hard to be trusted any more. There are two reasons either Pakistani security forces are unable to control situations and if it is not then there arises suspicions in minds and hearts of the people about the friendship of the military and militants. As for as Pakhtun people are concerned, they are 100% sure about this friendship and there is no doubt left over for them.
I am afraid that US and Afghan forces will enter the FATA and other parts of Pakhtun areas to release the abducted Abdul Khaliq Farahi , Afghanistan- Designate Ambassador to Pakistan who is still in captivity of militants and whose video was released few days back appealing Afghanistan government to take steps for his release. The American forces are feared to enter the area in question on the pretext that their proclaimed enemies (Taliban) are sitting in FATA and have posed the threat for the Americans. If we observe the situations closely, it is evident that it is more or less the same situations of 9/11 but with a difference that the terrorists used in said incident were from Arab world while in recent terrorist act both Faisal Shahzad and Taliban are from the area from where Americans are afraid to be attacked.

Pashtun Democratic Council condemns terrorist attacks on US Consulate and Dir
Pashtun Democratic Council condemns terrorist attacks on US Consulate and Dir
Zar ali khan musazai, Chairman Pashtun Democratic Council has strongly condemned the terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate General in Peshawar. Pashtun nation hates terrorism and terrorists who are not even human beings. Such acts are cruel and barbaric. We are a peaceful nation and reject all forms and manifestations of terrorism. Pashtun are hostages and their voice has been silenced but the time will prove it that this drama was not staged by the Pashtun rather it was the agenda of the promoters and mentors of the religious terrorists using name and land of Pashtun for this dirty cause. But ultimately the terrorists and their mentors will lose and Pashtun nation and international community will be triumphant. Pashtun Democratic Council also denounces another cruel terrorist attack on the patriotic and peaceful Pashtun people in Dir where they were celebrating the Khyber Pukhtunkhawa, a new name for the Pashtun province. These both terrorist attacks show that terrorists are frustrated to the extent that they are blind and destroy all what come in their way. They are anti people, anti politics and anti life. Their barbarism will die natural death very soon. We also condemn all those forces which keep them still alive and are helping them morally and financially. We express our sympathy for all those who died in the said two incidents to protect the others at cost of their own life. Such people are great and need to be assisted. Our prayers are with them all. May God bliss the departed soul with eternal peace.

Pashtun Democratic Council also denounces another cruel terrorist attack on the patriotic and peaceful Pashtun people in Dir where they were celebrating the Khyber Pukhtunkhawa, a new name for the Pashtun province. These both terrorist attacks show that terrorists are frustrated to the extent that they are blind and destroy all what come in their way. They are anti people, anti politics and anti life. Their barbarism will die natural death very soon. We also condemn all those forces which keep them still alive and are helping them morally and financially. We express our sympathy for all those who died in the said two incidents to protect the others at cost of their own life. Such people are great and need to be assisted. Our prayers are with them all. May God bliss the departed soul with eternal peace.

People of FATA are grateful to His! Excellency Karzai for his statement against FCR in FATA
By Zar Ali Khan Musazai
President Hamid Karzai was right to say that Frontier Crimes Regulations commonly known as FCR is a terrible legacy of the British colonial rule being applied on Pashtun People in FATA. The sooner it is taken out the better. It is also against human dignity. As for as I understand this important question was posed a Pashtun journalist no less than the incumbent President of Peshawar Press Club in Pashto language in Islamabad when his Excellency! Hamid Khan Karzai was there on his official visit to Islamabad. Some of the Pakistani- minded Journalists who were present on that occasion criticized the remarks of Pashtun President Hamid Karzai and termed his reply as an intervention in internal affairs of Pakistan. This criticism was illogical and non sense. These so called journalists should realize that FATA is a place where Pashtun live and Karzai is also a Pashtun/Afghan and he has the right to ask for his people’s right in FATA. This unfortunate part has always been used for the nefarious designs by the establishment of Pakistan. First this part was used by the British rulers to block the forward movements of the then Tzarists and latter on was used by Pakistan with support of international community and Arab world to stop socialist block of former USSR to remain in Kabul. This time this part is again being used as proxy to thwart the good intentions of international community to prevail peace and promote democracy and developmental activities in Afghanistan. People in FATA do want change and are not ready to remain in old and out dated system which has given them nothing except humiliation and destruction. FATA is an area where there are no human rights. Political parties are not allowed to do politics and political parties act has never been extended to this part. Resultantly, extremist religious forces
Were made stronger and stronger with manpower and other resources with strong state support of Pakistan while the political, social and democratic forces were harnessed to take people to light and forward. Today we see that this part is like a hub of terrorism and terrorists use this area for their vested interests from where not only Afghanistan is fired but at same time the soldiers of international community are also frequently killed and Pashtun cities like Peshawar, Mardan, Nowshera , Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan, Swat, Dir ,Buner and Charsadda including FATA itself are burning in hell and people are ruthlessly killed without no sin they have ever committed. The so called Pakistani journalists have never lifted pen to write in support of FATA people and against terrorism there. No journalist has ever asked Pakistani establishment as to why this area was left behind for more than last 60 years. To be developed. When Karzai spoke in fevour of his Pashtun people and against FCR, then these so called Journalists turned furious and called it as interference in internal affairs of Pakistan. These Journalists should study the actual case of FATA as to whom this part belongs to. Whether Karzai has right to talk in favor of tribesmen or not. Afghans know it well and they speak only when they know that they are talking for their own people. Afghanistan should adopt a policy of irredentism, where ever Pashtun are should be considered as Afghan citizens. Hamid Karzai, Pashtun President termed Afghanistan and Pakistan as twin brothers which I reject politely. Both are as step brothers because one brother namely Afghanistan is going to be developed but latter creates problems for it which shows enmity and negative approach. Pakistan wants Afghanistan’s peace and prosperity but at hands of Taliban and other conservative forces which is unacceptable to Afghans. Until Pakistan changes its old policies against Afghanistan, the brotherhood theory is not possible to move forward and as for as I know Pakistani establishment has not yet decided to bring a change in its previous policy regarding Afghanistan.

Afghans Harassment by the Police should be stopped
Dear Babar Baloch
Spokesman, UNHCR
Islamabad
Subject: Afghans Harassment by the Police should be stopped
R/sir,
Afghans living in Peshawar and other parts of Pukhtunkhawa are illegally teased and tormented by the Police. Police arrest them for allegedly not having proper documents. Almost all Afghans have the cards issued to them by UNHCR but still Police arrest them and claim that these cards have been expired. When an Afghan tells the police about the ministry of SAFRON Islamabad which has issued order that Afghan could live while utilizing the old cards for further 3-years stay. Your Excellency should talk to the high ups in interior ministry Islamabad and Police Inspector General in Pukhtunkhawa about the issue. This is very serious issue and should be taken seriously. When Police is approached, it simply says that police have not yet received any directive about the further stay of the Afghans and this is the reason that it arrests them and apply foreign act against them which is a mockery of justice with those Afghans who were used for long 30-years by Pakistan and now it has turned like a burden for this country which is not acceptable to us all Afghans living both sides of Durand line.
Hoping this issue be discussed with responsible Pakistani authority as early as possible to solve the problem of Afghans in Peshawar and elsewhere of Pukhtunkhawa.

What a joke with Pashtun in FATA?
What a joke with Pashtun in FATA?
Zar Ali Khan Musazai
It was reported in media that Pakistani Chief of Army Staff General Kiyani visited South Waziristan to see the progress of rehabilitation of quick impact projects.
What a joke with Pashtun by the Pakistani state (Mulla, military and militant triangle). What to say of Pakistani said triangle barbarism and joke with Pashtun. Pakistan has been trying to do childish acts and wish to befool international community. But gone are the days when Pakistan was to be trusted over such childish and foolish acts to deceive the world. Even today Waziristan has more than 11 thousands Uzbek terrorists, more than 6 thousands Arab terrorists, more than 9000 Punjabi terrorists and about three thousands so called black faced Pashtun terrorists who are playing an Agent role for the Punjabis nefarious interests in region. (Shame). This should be clear to all and sundry that all Pashtun are not terrorists and do hate of them and their terrorist activities. Now one will have to think deeply and intensively over the joke Pakistani media plays with international community in general and Pashtun nation in particular. In FATA people are not having any human right and are victims of terrorism. Terrorists are given free hand in FATA and they have made this place as a hub of terrorism from where they are firing in Afghanistan and killing innocent people there and soldiers of NATO, Afghan Army and poor patriotic civilians. How Pakistani real establishment claims to have started developmental work in presence of such terrorists who have made people in FATA as hostages. Were the Pakistani establishment sincere, then it would have cleared the area from the terrorists but sorry to say this junta could not play the role and still the terrorists are ruling FATA. Even yesterday, some friends from Waziristan wept bitterly saying that Pakistan destroyed them and they were ready to welcome any one in FATA except Pakistan. International community should focus its attention on FATA and hoping Pakistan will not be left alone to decide the fate of Pashtun in FATA and tell the lie to international community any more.

Drone is effective anti-terrorist weaponn, mr Nawaz Sharif
Drone is anti-terrorist weapon, Mr. Nawaz Sharif
By Zar ali khan musazai
Former Pakistani Punjabi Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has said that he and his party have always opposed US drone attacks on terrorists in Pakistan. This statement further disclosed that Punjabis are averse to drone attacks and love to see terrorists (Arab and Punjabis) on Pashtun soil and to destroy peace in region and Afghanistan in particular. Punjabis political leadership along with military and mullah and Punjabi dominated Media of Pakistan are pro-terrorists and they do not take this important issue serious rather they all like to see Pashtun and Afghanistan in an eternal misery in which we are due to the satanic dreams and acts of the said negative forces. Nawaz Sharif says that in drone attacks the innocent souls are killed. This is 100% incorrect information he has collected from his sources and he is advised to get fresh and correct information regarding terrorism in our Pashtun areas including FATA. Those who give him information about drones should be punished because such incorrect and groundless information will lead him to be a laughing stock in international community which knows better than Nawaz Sharif and his Advisors regarding drones. Nawaz Sharif should try to get himself up to dated about such important information like drones. For the kind information of a Lahore-based Punjabi Politician it is said that drones have neither killed any innocent person nor will do so in future regarding FATA. Drone is actually the enemy of terrorists and those who love to see terrorists in FATA. We have said time and again that international community should not discuss our issues with Punjabi politicians and Media as they do not like to see us in peace. Pashtun in general and those living in Waziristan or have migrated from there due to terrorist activities say that only drones are the real treatment of the terrorists. Punjabi dominated Pakistani military is either unable or is reluctant to eliminate terrorists from FATA and to clear the area. For the last 9 years the Pakistan Army is engaged in FATA against terrorists but till this day they are unable to show that they have killed a high profile terrorist there. Absolutely they can not show. And drones can show that they have killed dozens of the terrorists in FATA including Baitullah Mehsud whom Pakistani media in last days of his life termed as pro- American terrorist but the claims of Pakistani media smashed at time when drone attacked him and killed. According to our latest and fresh information obtained form friends and political people that when ever drones are seen hovering in Waziristan our people are satisfied that only terrorists and their friends will be hit hard. But when we see that Pakistani Jet-fighter in air then we are afraid about the casualties of our poor, innocent and hostaged people. Few days back it was claimed by the terrorists in FATA that they had gunned down the drone. Pakistani newspapers reported in morning the other days that tribal people have gunned it down and they were jubilating over the drone incident (If ever has happened so). This is 100% absurd that tribal have done this job. How can the a tribesman do it when he has been standing in long queues to get few kilos of flour to feed his/her children who have been forced to migrate from their native villages and homes in FATA. Tribal are not opposed to drones and they know better than Nawaz Sharif that drone is anti-terrorist weapon not anti- Pashtun.

It is never too late to mend

The incident of 9/11, 2001 changed the world in general and Pashtun region in particular. Americans and allies launched their war against al- Qaeda and Taliban terrorists who were harboring terrorism and terrorists to Afghanistan and all over the world including the attacks on the US.
All those innocent people including the allied and Afghan soldiers who became victims of the terrorism are the real martyrs. They laid down their lives for upright, justice and peace in the world. May God bliss them all. It is a well known fact that Afghanistan was a centre of terrorism but with the advent of Americans and allied forces the terrorism and terrorists left Afghanistan and made Pakistan as a safe haven for them, particularly, the tribal areas adjacent to Afghanistan. Americans should have to strike the terrorists, this side of the Durand line at that time but sorry to say that Americans and allies did not do it and went behind Iraqi president/ dictator sadam Hussin. This act harmed Afghanistan, allied forces and Pashtun living both sides of Durand line. The terrorists strengthened themselves in FATA and adjacent areas of the Pashtun with alleged active support of Pakistan army, intelligence agency ISI and clergy. All clergymen are the paid employees of the ISI and are bent upon all time to harm Afghanistan and actively support terrorism in the region with the support of ISI and Arab sheikhs .America gave more than 13 billion dollars to Pakistan and demanded her to eradicate terrorism with it but this menace further spread with each passing day and some new reports indicate it that all the money meant for the elimination of the menace went directly to the accounts of Taliban and other forces engaged in fighting against America, allied forces and Afghanistan. Americans were informed time and again that the said so called anti-terror forces in FATA and other Pashtun areas were not sincere with them in the solution of the problem concerning terrorism ,and asserted that mulla-millitary are one and same but such calls turned deaf ears and were not weighed properly . When in Waziristan more than 400 military men had gone missing and media reported that they were captured by Taliban. Even at that time there were suspicions over it but the responsible international community did not heed it and laughed at those who were terming it as a drama and a naked farce. There were many people who were of the opinion that the detained military men were useful for the militants. They could give those refresher courses and other tactics as how to fight in Afghanistan against Americans and allied forces. We used to hear that Americans are very wise people but we do not know as to what are the factors that have been hurdles in their way to cross over to the areas dominated by the Pashtun, across the Durand line. When Taliban’s emirate in Kabul collapsed their mentors advised them to remain silent for some time and when Americans would leave soon then they would come out again and would reclaim Afghanistan. There were two aims behind it. One was to crush those political people and influential Pashtun who were sincere to eliminate the terrorism and were ruthlessly assassinated and this number raised to 3000.So- called anti terror forces in Pakistan wished to hammer the sentiments of Afghan nationalism on both sides of Durand line and tried the best to divert the attention of the people from the core issue of national unity and named it religiosity and anti-Americanism. The fact is that our people are having least concern about the American and allied forces and thought that forces in questions had come to Afghanistan under the command of UN. On other hands dollars were funneled for the anti-terror war which was deposited in the personal bank accounts of the mentors and Taliban alike while the innocent people were mercilessly killed, forced to migrate from their houses and schools and bridges were demolished. This conception was supported by the reporter of the New York Times also. Now the US has pledged 750 million dollars for the development of the FATA. We are afraid that the said hefty amount will go down the drain and FATA will neither develop nor will the people of FATA ever see its benefits in the presence of greedy and anti -American establishment of Pakistan. There are forces which are not sincere in elimination of the terrorism from the region. It is true that the Security forces are using jet-fighters and other heavy weapon in FATA, but not against terrorist Taliban and al-Qaeda, but it is used against the civilians to instigate their sentiments against US, allied forces and Afghanistan to sabotage the national unity. There are problems of unemployment, price hike, food shortage and unrest in our region. Pakistani rulers are unable to solve them that are why they wish to divert the attention of people from the real issues and concentrate their attention towards the US. Pashtun are of the firm belief that ISI has been using the Pashtun and their territory to promote terrorism with support of bloody religious mullahs. Pakistan mulla and military are same and from recent reports published in media that Taliban were termed as the, National asset of Pakistan, which is an alarming situations for us all. Pashtun reserve the right to ask as to who will be responsible for their destruction and Pashtun also demand of Americans and international community to bring culprits to the court of justice who perpetrated cruelties on Pashtun in the garb of terrorists. With the indiscriminate bombardment of Pakistani Security forces in FATA and Swat only civilian are killed while the drone attacks by the Americans hit the real targets and the difference is clear. Now once again Pashtun demand of the Americans and international community to isolate terrorists not Pashtun.
