Fractious FATA

By Dr. Hassan Isfahani • Jul 25th, 2008 • Category: Politics

The truth is that Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) have always remained some “other” part for the rest of the Pakistanis and every successive government whether civilian or military has never even tried to change the status of these areas, and to add petrol to the fire, this area was roughly utilized in the Afghan […]



Coalition For Dialogue in FATA

By Brig. (r) Junaid Zaman • Jul 24th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Our “foreign land” of FATA is getting more lawless and more prone to the foreign intervention day by day, and at that juncture the calling of the meeting of coalition partners is a very welcome step. That, and the decision taken in this meeting is also plausible. The ruling coalition has agreed to engage in […]

Spokesman of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan Maulvi Muhammad Umar said the Taliban were waiting for further instructions from Baitullah Mahsud as the deadline to the Awami National Party’s Government in NWFP has ended.  What sort of instructions those would be?

Bertrand Russell, the great philosopher, in his essay ‘The Future of Mankind’ mentioned the possibility of a unification of the world under a single government, possessing a monopoly of all the major weapons of war.

Solution Providers for FATA Conflict

By Brig. (r) Junaid Zaman • Jul 20th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Talibans of FATA and Talibans of Afghanistan don’t consider each other separate and they don’t really believe on the demarcation of the borders, rather they consider themselves one. This concept is  now hated by the United States, though she was the one who facilitated this notion when the same Talibans were fighting the USSR under […]

The hot favorite candidate for the presidency of the world’s sole super power United States has reached to the flash point of world Afghanistan, and Hamid Karzai must be weeping in front of them in kowtow and telling him the “atrocities” of the Pakistan, and asking him to punish their favorite lackey in the war […]



There are No Terrorists Out There

By A Khokar • Jul 19th, 2008 • Category: Politics

There are no Terrorists out there; just Avengers. Avengers of the atrocities inflicted upon them and of no fault of their. There was not a single person from Afghanistan, who ever indulged in carrying out the purported 9/11 attack. But look at the intensive areal bombardment that Afghanistan has been receiving since; certainly the bombs […]
