An other declaration of war against Pashtun/Afghan
,I try my best to forget the shocking news of a misery in mean time other engulfs me,( Khushal Khan baba)
Pashtun nation once again bled by the hands of terrorists who committed suicide attack on a mosque in Jamrud, Khyber Agency FATA in which more than 100 innocent Pashtun martyred while more than 150 were serious wounded. This is an other declaration of war against Pashtun nation when their worship place was attacked after the explosion at the shrine of great Pashtun/Afghan poet Rehman baba which was targeted by the terrorists few days ago. Pashtun ,s blood has turned cheaper than water in the area administered by the Pakistan. The terrorist attack at the mosque in Jamrud, FATA happened at a time when the American President Obama was preparing to announce a new Afghanistan-Pakistan strategy. This is not unclear these days as to who are the masters minds behind these militants who commit such heinous crimes against Pashtun and only Pashtun in their thinking are the bad people. It is inhuman and a declaration of war against this nation. Americans claim that they spent more than 14 billion of dollars to eradicate terrorism from the region but one wonders to see that today terrorist activities have further increased. What this drama is with Pashtun from both sides of Americans and Pakistan. Both have sworn to keep continued the genocide of Pashtun which is inhuman and against the international law. We are above all human beings and we have also right to live on this planet. Obama speech against eradication of terrorism from region is a welcome step but who will make him understand that as to who are behind the genocide of Pashtun? New york times and almost all American and foreign newspapers frequently write about the sources and promoters of terrorism but it seems that Americans including Mr .Obama has closed eyes over the facts and now Pashtun are realizing that those who have become champions to erase terrorism from the world either do not understand the situations realistically or are afraid of the terrorists and their mentors. Obama has changed his way from Peshawar to Russia for supply of the goods for NATO forces stationed in Afghanistan due to fear of the militants who torch their trucks and bomb them at roads. Are Americans and NATO allies are weak to the extent that they can not protect their own vehicles and what to say that they will protect Pashtun from the terrorism of the terrorists and the wrath of their mentors who have been using them against Pashtun who are afraid that one day may be Pashtun revolt and demand for their historic home Afghanistan. But one should be clear enough that if such brutalities against Pashtun continue then the journey which is meant for years will come to an end in few moments and days. International community should open eyes in favor of Pashtun nation which the failed state of Pakistan has been using for the ulterior motives which for it is not possible to achieve. Mere declaration of war against terrorism is not enough. This is an eye wash and will be unable to yield positive results. Pashtun will be bleeding and international community will be mere spectator. Pashtun once again demand of the Secretary General UN, President Obama, European Union, OIC, African Union, SAARC, ASEAN, Human Rights bodies around the world to raise the issue of the genocide of Pashtun nation in Pakistan by the militants and their known mentors who are well known for the bloody game on the name of cult and religion and who are unable to provide youth job opportunities , ease the life of people, minimize the miseries and provide cheaper food to the citizens rather put them to death by the terrorists and in some cases commit this crime themselves which the world knows well.

Ordeal of Pashtun in Pashtunkhwa
Ordeal of Pashtun in lower Pashtunkhwa
By Zar Ali Khan Musazai
Peshawar: There are reports that Taliban militants have shaved four young men for listening to music in Buner, An area of Yousafzai Pashtun adjacent with the restive Swat of Pashtunkhwa. When secular ANP signed a peace treaty with the Sufi Muhammad of TNSM , which is mass front of Taliban militants and Sufi himself is the father in law of the Chief of militants in Swat Fazlullah and he had taken more than 10000 men to Afghanistan to fight against the international community there who had come to wipe up the militants Taliban from there after the America was targeted in 2001. Most of his men were either slaughtered or perished on the way but interestingly Sufi and his few clever colleagues found the way out and appeared in Kurram Agency from where they were taken to Dera Ismail Khan and he remained ther for few years waiting that Pashtun would soon forget their sentimental kins and kiths butchered by the said man. When he was needed by the establishment in 2008 then he was released and a new role was assigned to him to add to problems of the innocent Pashtun. Now once again Pashtun in Malakand division are suffered due to this man but sorry to say that this time secular ANP joined hands with him for unknown reasons. Here are few simple questions in my mind and many like me will have the same in their minds if probed. Why International community is silent over the atrocities perpetrated on innocent pashtun by both military and militants alike? What were the factors that international community perched in Afghanistan? Who were the rulers by the tome when international community stepped in Afghanistan? What were the situations at that time? What was the condition when the Taliban were rulers in Kabul? What were the conditions of women by the time? The answer is simple and almost all know it well. Hands are chopped off, innocent people are beheaded. Women especially girls less than 17-years are flogged in open by the terrorists. The punishment is given by male and spectators are all men. Punishment is given when an innocent girl says no , when a terrorist asks for her hand. Punjabi politicians are silent while their Pashtun partners have brought this menace on their heads. Who will ask for the honor of a pashtun girl. Punjabis raise hue and cry over the drone attacks but forget that they have made Arabs and other militants as guests without the consent of Pashtun. Pashtun nation has been made as a hostage today. One who dares to talk on behalf of the Pashtun people, and then he is dubbed as traitor and spy working for Americans in Afghanistan. Who do this heinous crime? Definitely we all know. Those who take dollars can not have courage to come directly against the Americans and they prepare other to come in front while the real people are standing behind. Those who know that very soon Afghanistan is going to be on track of prosperity and development and will be a modern democratic state in the entire Asia , can not bear to see this. They are bent upon to eliminate those whom they consider as a hurdle in their sinister play. They understand that 21st is the century of unification of nations and they want to abolish it from the mind of Pashtun/Afghan.
But this is not possible for them to finish the movement by killing and assassinating the Political and influential Pashtun.
We expect the dawn very soon which will bring the light, prosperity and development as we know that days of the darkness are numbered and atrocities will have to go for ever.

Arrest of Afghans in Peshawar Condemned
Arrest of Afghans in Peshawar condemned
Press Release
Executive Director Society for Rights and Development (SRD) Zar Ali Khan Musazai has condemned the illegal arrest of the Afghans in Peshawar and other parts of NWFP.
He said that Afghans are regularly arrested and tormented in Peshawar which is inhuman and this gesture of the provincial government and Police force will jeopardize the political atmosphere between two countries and People of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Peshawar Police has accelerated its campaign after the incidents of terrorism are on rise in metropolitan Peshawar but this is not the solution. When Police is unable to arrest the real culprits then it arrests the poor Afghans just to show its efficiency to control the crimes in its jurisdiction. Those police officials who are involved in such inhuman and anti-Afghan drive should immediately be stopped and concerned authority be directed not to do this criminal act of arresting the poor Afghans in Pakistan and especially Peshawar
The lack of legal status for Afghan refugees in Pakistan and NWFP has left them without any protection from harassment, extortion, and imprisonment by the Pakistani and NWFP Police. Stories of police harassment and extortion are very common among the Afghan refugees Some times Afghan refugees listening to radio or just walking on the pavement of the roads The police ask them for the papers and then take them into the police stations and hold them there.
Some times when the Afghans come to city to find a petty jobs for livelihood or sell some thing there like birds, vegetable etc. then they are demanded for the license or other documents which definitely they lack, then they are arrested and take them to the police stations.
When a refugee has not money to pay back to a police official in Peshawar or other parts of NWFP, he or she is beaten and charge under crimes and take to Police stations where they are intimidated and their rights are violated. Youth are suffered most and they are easily dociled to the intimidation of the brutality of Police. Such Afghan Youth who are arrested by Police are tortured brutally and most of the times they are molested and sexually assaulted by the cops.

Plights of FATA IDPs in Camps
By: Zar Ali Khan Musazai
It was shocking news for the people like us to hear that people in a large number were displaced from their native areas mostly in Bajor , Swat and other areas of FATA due to fighting between military and militants. SRD (Society for Rights and Development) a civil society organization working for the welfare of the marginalized people of the society and their development. The number of camps surveyed:
Total four camps of IDPs established in the different districts of NWFP were visited where the condition of the internally displaced people was keenly witnessed; their needs and problems were heard and various issues related to their trouble and miseries were also discussed with them. During survey it was observed that IDPs were mainly from the areas where the fighting was going on between the government forces and Taliban. Most of the camps studied were having people from Bajour while there were few people who had come from the adjacent turbulent Agency like Mohamnd, but the number of such affected people in camps was negligible. Till filing of this report there were such reports that mass migration have started from the Mohmand Agency where it is stated that government security forces and Taliban have stuck the horns and a fierce fighting has initiated where vulnerable civilian population was easily to be hit and that, s the reason that people have turned towards relatively safer places of the NWFP while some are reported to have migrated towards neighboring Afghanistan where these people have started living in camps established by the Kabul Govt. for the convenience of these affected people. People who are coming from the Mohmand Agency have faced myriad problems and one is very horrific when the affected families were crossing the river Kabul in a boat which unfortunately suddenly capsized due to apparently stray bombardment of the security forces on the boat of affectees. The local persons came to the rescue of the drowned and saved them all after hectic efforts but it was sad to hear that one child lost his precious life in this incident.
The migration is still on and people are worried looking for shelter. Some people happen to get space in the houses of the relatives who are already residing in Peshawar and surrounding villages. But the problems of IDPs so much that it is not easy for one to sort them out and co-ordinated efforts are needed to be taken.
Total No. of the families in Kachagari is 1137
Total No. of families in Palosa is 475
Total No. of families in Benazir Camp is 399
Total No. of families in Sheikh Yaseen Camp is 516
This is the number of families till filling of this report but it is expected that the number is going to increase with each passing day as situations in the warring areas are intensified and more and more people are coming to camps which are already having no space for the IDPs.
People in camps usually complain that they are not provided with what they are needed and the attitudes of the camps administration is not satisfactory. Muhammad Akbar a victim of Bajour who recently resides in Kachagari camp complained that he had been in camp for last two months but he was not given any thing by the administration or any aid agencies. It was also found that electricity facility was not provided to any of the camps mentioned above and when the administration was asked their reply was that they could not do it as soon as people are more and resources are few. As for as sanitation and drinking water were concerned the people in camps said that they were facing problems to fetch water while in Benazir Camp Risalpur it was witnessed that small children were fetching water on their heads and shoulders from the mosque which was at a distance of more than one furlong. Children complained that they were molested by some of the people in mosque and directed not to use the facility. The water of Risalpur is not favorable to be used as for drinking purpose and it is the main reason that people in camps were having problems of stomach , constipation and other related diseases. One affected person who disclosed his name as Sardar from Loye sam area of Bajour said that he had 9 children but still he lived with his nephew because camp administration was unwilling to register him as IDP, though he was badly hit and his entire resources left there and came to camp empty handed to save his and his children heads. A child Amanulla khan who was named after King Amanullah khan of Kabul and a well known reformer who wanted enlightenment and education for his people , said in a choking voice that he was in class 6 in Nawagi a tehsil of Bajour, before crisis started but here he was not going to school as the camp had not such facility up to middle classes. He was living in camp of Kacha gari Peshawar along with his family for last one month.
As for as security of the kacha gari is concerned it was the worst because just in front of my own eyes a man was deprived of his Toyota double cabin on the gun point. Inayat rehman a small child who was playing in the dust of the camp said that he had a nice school in his village but his present school though does not match but still he can not say the word bad for his present school in camp. The flower like sweet faces of the innocent children were gloomy unknowingly while playing in the dust which had affected their hair and faces badly. The numbers of the latrines/baths were more but due to unhygienic condition they were so smelly that a living being could not have to stay along with. Fuel facility was not provided to the affectees and they were to bring the gas and wood from the nearby market if they could afford to buy while most of them were not in position to purchase items from the market due to non availability of the money. Schools in camps were mostly of the primary level but the deficiencies of the teachers have also hit the school going children badly. Small girls were found not going to school due to several reasons but the most prominent was that female teachers were not employed in the schools and girls in most cases are not allowed to get admitted in boy's schools. Most of the people expressed the fear of being vulnerable as the security of the camps were not satisfactory except Palosa where constable was found standing alert before a closed door. People also demanded for the wall around them as kacha gari camp has no such basic need. In Benazir camp Risalpur it was heard from the wise people that their women in camp wished to sew clothes for market and for their own children but they needed sewing machines which had not. If provided either by government or some aid agencies or individuals their miseries would be minimized to some extent. It was observed that the women were skilled in sewing and other embroidery works. It was demanded that such women should be utilized for their skill. There were most families in al most all camps which were unregistered and wanted to be registered but due to bureaucratic tactics such families were put in trouble and asked to leave camp while the families were reluctant to leave as they have no other alternative.
In Benazir Camp, which is named after Benazir Bhutto, the first woman prime minister of Pakistan who was mercilessly assassinated in last year December in Rawalpindi a city of the Punjab province of Pakistan after a rally which was addressed by her, there were two small sisters who were blind were found helpless who had a teenage brother and was not able to provide them with basic necessities of life. The scene of the two blind sisters was so sad that one had to shed tear. Their names were usmania and Nasia. They were in a very shabby position.
Gulzada ,a senior man from charming of the Bajour was looking gloomy and could say nothing while Muhammad Haleem of Riasat Bajour was very upset who had some problem of tumor in his throat recalling good old peaceful days in his native village before the crisis. Badil Haram was a lady of 40 years but looking of 60 years due to miseries whose husband had died and she was heard to be living with his relative in their tent. She was a mother of several orphan children who had nothing to eat. The said lady was heard while weeping that her children slept last night without having anything to eat. She was really in a distress. Said Raheem an octogenarian was found ill and poor saying that he buried several of his family during crisis. He was sad and gloomy .He complained that administration was not distributing items equally. Subhan khan a young man of 25 and graduate had volunteered himself to the cause of education of the small children of his camp (Benazir Camp) though himself he was a victim of the war and living in the same camp along with his people. Bilal a a small boy narrated his ordeal while carrying his jar of the water on his head saying that both Taliban and Pakistan Army were hitting them while he was sure that Afghanistan would never hit them. School books, pencils and copies were the demand of the school going children and teachers a like. People in Sheikh yaseen camp Mardan hesitated to leave the camp for another place of Jalozai, a village near pabbi Nowshera where Afghans were residing during their ordeal in Afghanistan . Raheem Gul who identified himself as the president of the camp though the camp administration rejected it , saying that they were not ready to leave the place rather a camp should be established for them in Dir district which is bordering Bajour Agency. It was also demanded if the government of Pakistan is unable to lessen our troubles it will be better to open Afghanistan – Pakistan border(Durand line) for them so that they may go to Afghanistan.

ANP and militants both are closing Schools
The education Minister of Pashtunkhwa Province Sardar Hussain Babak
who is a crownless king like Maghul emperor Akbar the great few days
ago issued the order for closure of the Schools in the province he has
been ruling but with no writ of the state. Some of the private schools
were unable to obey the order of the crownless and throwneless above
mentioned king due to some reasons who very quickly and smartly
ordered to cancel the affiliation of the such Schools with the
Peshawar Board. There are such huge Schools whose number of the
male/Female both students exceed more than 4000. One such unfortunate
School which came under the wrath of the Minister(King) is known as
ITTEFAQ MODEL SCHOOL situated in Surizai Bala about 8 kilometers in
South of Peshawar where more than 4000 students Male/Female of the
Momand , Khalil and Afridi tribes have been studying under the
auspices of its efficient and highly qualified Principal Mr. Tariq
khan Durrani who is a well-known education imparting education to
those who are the children of Khodai khidmatgaran but today they are
buried under mounds of mud in their graves and have become a history
but hoping they would be turning restless in their peaceful abodes to
have heard the mal- treatment of mr.King with their children and that
too on some conspiracy of conspirators who have long affiliation with
the parties always remained antagonistic with Khodai khidmatgaran.
One who is unable to distinguish between horse and donkey should leave
to lead the Proud Pashtun nation for GOD sake. This is a drama and
these so called leaders have become like laughing stocks and people
are laughing at them. The above mentioned School who’s Principal is
the son of a well known Khodai Kidmatagar of the area and at presently
their home is called as Wali Bagh but still this school was chosen to
be punished by the conspirators or some black sheep in department. I
am not writing this message that I have enmity with this party or
people but as a voter of the ANP and an affectee I deserve to raise my
concern and apprise those sitting on helm of affairs like AFRASIAB
KHATTAK. Militant terrorist Taliban and ANP at least should have a
difference. Both are discouraging education. One destroys our
buildings while other is bent upon to close our schools which are
unacceptable to us. They will try to discourage us but we will have to
work and will never be tired to lose our hearts to help those who help
the Pashtun children imparting modern day knowledge.

who is a crownless king like Maghul emperor Akbar the great few days
ago issued the order for closure of the Schools in the province he has
been ruling but with no writ of the state. Some of the private schools
were unable to obey the order of the crownless and throwneless above
mentioned king due to some reasons who very quickly and smartly
ordered to cancel the affiliation of the such Schools with the
Peshawar Board. There are such huge Schools whose number of the
male/Female both students exceed more than 4000. One such unfortunate
School which came under the wrath of the Minister(King) is known as
ITTEFAQ MODEL SCHOOL situated in Surizai Bala about 8 kilometers in
South of Peshawar where more than 4000 students Male/Female of the
Momand , Khalil and Afridi tribes have been studying under the
auspices of its efficient and highly qualified Principal Mr. Tariq
khan Durrani who is a well-known education imparting education to
those who are the children of Khodai khidmatgaran but today they are
buried under mounds of mud in their graves and have become a history
but hoping they would be turning restless in their peaceful abodes to
have heard the mal- treatment of mr.King with their children and that
too on some conspiracy of conspirators who have long affiliation with
the parties always remained antagonistic with Khodai khidmatgaran.
One who is unable to distinguish between horse and donkey should leave
to lead the Proud Pashtun nation for GOD sake. This is a drama and
these so called leaders have become like laughing stocks and people
are laughing at them. The above mentioned School who’s Principal is
the son of a well known Khodai Kidmatagar of the area and at presently
their home is called as Wali Bagh but still this school was chosen to
be punished by the conspirators or some black sheep in department. I
am not writing this message that I have enmity with this party or
people but as a voter of the ANP and an affectee I deserve to raise my
concern and apprise those sitting on helm of affairs like AFRASIAB
KHATTAK. Militant terrorist Taliban and ANP at least should have a
difference. Both are discouraging education. One destroys our
buildings while other is bent upon to close our schools which are
unacceptable to us. They will try to discourage us but we will have to
work and will never be tired to lose our hearts to help those who help
the Pashtun children imparting modern day knowledge.

Terrorism and all its forms are unacceptable and democracy should prevail in Muslim world where people should be considered as citizens with all human rights including the rights of women who are the worst victims in the Muslim world and their rights are violated. In our region the girls schools are destroyed which means that terrorists and their mentors wish to see the Pashtun women as ignorant and make Pashtun people deaf and blind about the modern day world and its benefits .Democracy is the best way to solve our lingering issues.

PDC rejects the Durand line
PDC Rejects The Durand Line
PASHTUN DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL
PRESS RELEASE
Chairman Pashtun Democratic Council Zar Ali Khan Musazai has strongly condemned the Statement of the Pakistani Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani in which he demanded of Americans to force Afghan Government to accept to fence the Durand line and make it as a permanent border between two countries.
He said that Pashtun/Afghans will never accept Durand Line as a permanent border between two countries and to fence it is never acceptable to Afghan living both sides of the Durand line. It is a line drawn forcefully which has artificially divided one nation into two parts in1893 at a time when English were ruling India. English drew this line without the consent of the Pashtun/Afghans.Since the time Pashtun/Afghans have not realized this as a border and will not do so in future.
It is true that Americans are the friends of Pashtun/Afghan and we do know that they will help us in the solution of our problems but as for as the fencing of Durand line is concerned we request them and international community to force Pakistani leadership to avoid further miseries of Pashtun/Afghan and help them in resolving of their issues which will make this nation to get united and this is the real solution of all the problems in region. Taking Pashtun /Afghan away from each other will never help in elimination of terrorism rather it needs commitment, sincerity and honesty on the part of Islamabad. The sources and nests of terrorists are in the Punjab.
If international community is sincere to eliminate the terrorism from the region, then it will have to strive to work hard and get Larawbar Pashtun /Afghan united. We know that terrorists and their promoters have been using the Pashtun areas to weaken Afghanistan and such tactics mean just to show the world that Durand line be accepted as a permanent border. But this should be clear to all and sundry that the problems will not be solved rather will perpetuate. We are against terrorism and are 100% sincere in it but those who have made this as a profession to earn dollars and fence Durand line in this context will not succeed. International community knows well those who promote terrorism and why? And this is the reason that today such demands are put forward. Swat has no Durand line but terrorists are there. It means that fencing will solve the problem is like living in fools paradise
Pashtun Democratic Council demands of International Community to help Pashtun/Afghans get united and take this issue very serious. It is not a problem of the two states that they will sit together and say O.K. It is a long standing demand of a nation which has been kept separated for more than 100 years artificially. He has also urged upon all Pashtun/Afghans living every where in the world to stand united and appraise the world about their problems and get them informed that Durand Line is not a border and Pashtun/Afghans will never accept it as one because this is the issue of a nation survival.
21st is the century of unity of the colonially divided nations. If world community wishes to see this region as a cradle of peace then it will have help to bring artificially divided nation closer and keeping it further aloof will create problems.
He said that PM Pakistan has no right to dictate international community and Afghan Government on this sensitive issue to fence the Durand line. All Afghan will stand united to foil such conspiracies against this brave nation. We have been suffered heavily and wounding us further will create problems not solution of the issue. He once again demanded of Pakistani PM to forbid issuing such statements as these injure Pashtun /Afghan and Pakistani establishment should leave Afghan to concentrate to prevail peace in region and develop Afghanistan. Pashtun are the victims in Pakistan and rubbing salt on their wounded body should be stopped.
