    Zarb-E-Azb and the State of Security in Pakistan

    Prof. Dr. Umbreen Javaid1 Zarb-e-Azb and the State of Security in Pakistan Abstract The state of internal security in Pakistan emerged as a challenge to the state-writ due to the societal fragmentation and rise in extremism and terrorism. Incidents of terrorism linked to TTP developed as the major internal security threat in Pakistan. The failure of PML - (N)’s government in bringing the TTP to the dialogue table coupled with a terrifying rise in number of terror attacks on security personal and soft targets led to the hard stance culminating in a comprehensive joint military operation ‘Zarb-e-Azb’ in North Waziristan (FATA) against TTP’s hideouts and their foreign supporters. The paper will focus on the internal security dynamics of Pakistan in post 9/11scanario and the circumstances that led to the massive, large scale military chase in the history of Pakistan [Zarb-e-Azb] to curtail terrorism and to root out extremism. Keywords Internal Security, Operation Zarb-e-Azb, Pakistan, extremism, FATA, terror Introduction Security is a dependent concept, it is complex and seamless in nature, it needs to be defined under specific circumstances and precise condition or it is meaningless unless it is defined under relational mode with a major concept [as power and peace]. As per Kraus & Williams, “security is a derivative concept; it is meaningless in itself. To have any meaning, security necessarily presupposes something to be secured; as a realm of study it cannot be self-referential” (1997: ix). Realist considers security as the sub-derivative of power or some of the theorists consider it parallel to power, while liberalists believe that security is the essential element for retaining peace (Javaid & Kamal, 2015: 116-117).

In recent years the military has been asked to simultaneously combat a vicious internal insurgency, suppress international terror- ist groups, and respond to Pakistan’s worst floods in eighty years, all while squaring off against a much larger rival in one of the most strategically complex regions in the world. Pakistan’s armed forces are not only an instrument of the state’s foreign policy, but also the most influential actor in the country’s internal politics.

Introduction Operation Zarb-e-Azb, a war based on the policy of ensuring peace and economic development in Pakistan seems to be in line with Clausewitz’s view that ‘war is an instrument of policy’. Clausewitztreats policy as representative of all interests of the community (1976, p.607). To protect the people’s life and safeguard their interests from the menace of terrorism, a “violent action for political purposes” (Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary),the Government of Pakistan as a policy-making organ of the state realized the inevitability of military action.

Abstract The influx of terrorist outfits in North Waziristan Agency took place after the military offensives Rah-e-Nijat in South Waziristan Agency and Rah-e-Rast in Swat Valley in 2009 conducted by the armed forces of Pakistan. The new establishment decided to put negotiation on table in 2013 with terrorist outfits and invited them to peace dialogues on January 29, 2014.All through the peace talks, the continued terror activities led to the initiation of a comprehensive operation by the armed forces of Pakistan, targeting all the terrorist outfits. On Army’s insistence, the PML-N government after the audacious attack on Jinnah International airport by the Uzbek fighters allowed the army to go for a military offensive in NWA. Two weeks after the operation started, airstrikes were launched and then ground battle receiving army gunships and air force fighter bombers was started. For air force surveillance and intelligence gathering, drones were also used in critical areas. After one year, Operation Zarb-e-Azb is heading towards its last juncture achieving success and eliminating terrorism. However, a possible threat that looms is the reemergence of the Terrorist outfits that slipped the Khost province of Afghanistan that was left unmanned for two weeks despite requests to the Afghan establishment by Pakistan but the Pakistan armed forces are vigilant and determined to root out terrorism from their mother land.
