FLASHBACK: Millions of Pakistanis live in a "human rights-free zone" in the country's north-west, Amnesty International says.
According to the report:
“Residents of tribal areas face Taliban abuse and get no protection from the government, the rights group alleges. In a report, it says the Taliban secured their rule by killing elders and torturing teachers and aid workers….over one million people have been displaced by fighting between the Pakistani military and the Taliban in the tribal areas bordering Afghanistan. …Nearly four million people are effectively living under the Taliban in north-west Pakistan without rule of law and effectively abandoned by the Pakistani government," said Claudio Cordone, Amnesty's interim secretary general…”
Statistics in this report are exactly true...rest of the thing is a propaganda report ...issued with vested interests at a time when it was not needed at all. just to pave the way for more drone attacks in north waziristan...where people n tribal leaders support army in favor of their people n where government has a deep eye on the matters...rather Pakistani media is one to bring the issue in lime light n keeps knocking at the conscience of leaders not to ignore the volcanic turmoil of tribal areas…
The report quotes
“The report quotes a teacher, who fled the Swat valley with his family in March 2009, describing how the Taliban operated.
"[The Taliban] took over my school and started to teach children about how to fight in Afghanistan. They kicked out the girls from school, told the men to grow their beards, threatened anybody they didn't like."
The teacher said the government failed to protect them.
"What's the point of having this huge army if it can't even protect us against a group of brutal fanatics?"
The point missed in this report, as per local media reports n interviews, is after army’s intervention in Swat Valley most of the attacks were targeted at army n soldiers were beheaded brutally , n people were wishing a phosphorus free valley regardless of the Discrimination between Talibans n Army, a real step toward normalcy BBc reports people teaching youngsters “ how to fight and attack” but missed to mention the Local Millitia who fought against these terrorist
The 130-page Amnesty report, As if Hell Fell on Me, was based on nearly 300 interviews with residents of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) and the surrounding areas
Yes government is to blame to remain ignorant initially of the rooting organized force of Talibanization who took advantage of the fact that since 1993 there was no law enforcing Institute in those areas, neither government nor the qazi courts…”so people needed any system to settle the disputes any way…Talibans exploited the very facts; lawlessness, helplessness, illiteracy n poverty coupled with religion, to accomplish l their inhuman, non Islamic self centered desires n game of power. For recruitment of man power we say “yes as it is v easy to beguile innocent simple illiterate people in name of Islam so Taliban used the same tactics n motivated them to b “ghazis or shuhdas” to fight injustice or just allured them with money n prosperous future for children and family.
But from where did they got financial aid, latest imported weapons n all other support
Not to deny the fact that every body including government was silent, so held answerable, when suddenly “Madrassas “esp. in poverty stricken areas emerged as mushrooms or marble in swat was being sold to gather money or to answer the question that how come they got weapon n money??? Government and many skeptic minds know the answers of so many so n so questions but their lips are zipped because it hurls the reports and names of foreign hands, ruling black sheep, or the whole international game to sabotage sovereignty n existence of Pakistan as a result of international conspiracy with the help of state and non state actors,. The revelations that even government never dare spread in airs
Pakistani military spokesman Athar Abbas dismissed the report, describing it as "factually incorrect". He said that tribal elders supported the army's action to bring stability, particularly to the Swat region. "Local journalists as well as foreign journalists who have been visiting Swat, talking to the people, the elders, the notables, the locals there, they have endorsed the contribution of the military in bringing normalcy and protecting the people," he told the BBC.
Yes as per amnesty international report government n ngos are lagging behind in reconstruction of the effected areas and the rehabilitation is being done at snail’s pace withn so many stories of corruption. But to be practical every person is claiming that the respective elected leaders are ignoring him, this is not the case only with tribal people
The part of this bbc report that is totally non controversial is tha “
Amnesty has documented what many civilians in north-west Pakistan have often been scared to openly say, the BBC's Aleem Maqbool reports from Islamabad. The report talks of systematic human rights abuses by the Taliban and accuses militants of increasing the likelihood of civilian casualties by dispersing themselves among civilians during clashes with government forces. But it also accuses the Pakistani army of not doing enough to avoid civilian casualties in its operations against militants, and the government of neglecting the basic needs of the millions of people living in the frontier regions close to Afghanistan. Amnesty has appealed to both the Taliban and the Pakistani government to end human rights abuses in north-west Pakistan.
The 130-page Amnesty report, As if Hell Fell on Me, was based on nearly 300 interviews with residents of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) and the surrounding areas.has also called on Islamabad to reform the Pakistani constitution, which excludes the Fata from the legal and parliamentary system of the country
Is Pakistan that much rich country to nurture all these fund aided terrorism or does Pakistan is that much foolish to allow all these to become a prey of world’s criticism as a terrorist country despite the fact Pakistan has sacrificed n done a lot in the name of war on terror. The worst to mention is the loss of support of own people especially the ones living in war zones and preys of drone attacks government n army, who denied in frustration every ruling thing either army or Talibans or government because what they were deprived of was respect as loyal citizen ,peace and prosperity.’s Report capturing all these and especially about the havoc of drone attacks violating Geneva Convention, human rights n country’s sovereignty any way??? Where was Red Cross to announce the effected areas as war zone to gather international aid n funding??? Where is Amnesty International,s report on these issues by the way ????
GENEVA, June 17, 2009 (AFP) - Civilians in Pakistan's embattled
ReplyDeletenorthwestern Swat valley are "short of everything", the
International Committee of the Red Cross said Wednesday.
The ICRC, which claims to be the only international humanitarian
agency currently operating in Swat and nearby Dir, said it was
starting to distribute food for some 40,000 people in and around
Swat's main city, Mingora.
It cautioned that its ability to deliver food would depend on
the security situation.
"The civilians who stayed behind in Swat during these last weeks
have mostly been confined to their homes," said Gerry Robertson, an
ICRC delegate heading assistance in the area.
"They are short of everything and will need help until the
situation stabilises," he added in an information note.
The ICRC returned to Swat on June 3 and established a permanent
presence in Mingora, where the agency is also providing aid for
local hospitals with the Pakistani Red Crescent.
Fighting has been continuing in Swat and Lower Dir districts,
where Pakistani security forces launched an anti-Taliban offensive
in late April.
About two million people have fled their homes and escaped to
safer parts of Pakistan since the offensive began in the northwest.
