This secondary data based qualitative research highlights efficacy of counter- terrorism policies. The results show the strengths and weaknesses of NACTA framework and its performance. The counter- terrorism strategies minimized security threats demonstrating considerable decrease in numbers of suicide attacks and violent activities. Key Words: Counter-Terrorism, NACTA, SWOT Analysis, Effectiveness Introduction Terrorism has been highly destructive phenomenon for last two decades, especially after 9/11 attacks and Pakistan‟s joining the „War on Terror‟.

Swat Valley – PML-N – Tehrik-E-Nifaz-E-Shariah- Mohammadi – Landowners – April 2009 Army Offensive – Internal Relocation – Asylum Seekers 23 December 2009
Country Advice Pakistan Pakistan – PAK35880 – Swat Valley – PML-N – Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariah- Mohammadi – Landowners – April 2009 Army Offensive – Internal relocation – Asylum seekers 23 December 2009 1 Please provide a concise history of recent events in the Swat Valley, including the ‘Talibanisation’ of the valley and the April 2009 offensive by the Pakistan army to retake the valley. 2 What is the law and order situation in the Swat Valley since the April 2009 Pakistan army offensive in the valley? What has become of the Taliban leadership and militants in the valley since the offensive? Do they still pose a threat to the peace and stability of the valley? Origins of the Tehreek Nifaz e Sharia Mohammadi in the Swat Valley The terms ‘Taliban’ and ‘Taliban in Pakistan’ (TIP) are often employed by the Pakistani and International media as shorthand for a number of militant Islamic groups espousing the introduction of Sharia law, the creation of an Islamic state or the pursuit of violent jihad. It has been reported that a number of such groups currently operate in the Malakand district of North West Frontier Province, which includes the Swat Valley. In the Swat region itself, the primary movement since the early 1990s to the present day has been the Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e- Shariah-Mohammadi (TNSM). The February 2009 IRIN article ‘Pakistan: Origins of the violence in Swat Valley’ provides useful and concise information on the Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariah-Mohammadi (TNSM). On the subject of its origins IRIN states “[i]n 1992, Sufi Mohammad Khan established the Tehrik- e-Nifaz-e-Shariah-Mohammadi (TNSM) in Swat, as a party seeking an Islamic order. -
Evolutionary Transformation of Religious Extremism and Terrorism: an Analysis of Fata-Pakistan (Muhammad Rafique)* Abstract Th
Evolutionary Transformation of Religious Extremism and Terrorism: An Analysis of Fata-Pakistan * (Muhammad Rafique) Abstract The paper examines the evolutionary global phenomenon and discourse of terrorism and extremism, with special focus on FATA, Pakistan. Pakistan has become a prime victim as well as a hub of terrorism for last three decades. The evolution of the militancy in Pakistan's Federally-Administered Tribal Areas has emerged as strategic threat to the national security of the state. The terrorists selected the narrative that they were fighting against US invasion in Afghanistan fearing the occupation of FATA as well. They also raised the slogan of implementation of Sharia in Pakistan. The locals, still as patriotic as they were in the past, have known the fact that the extremists and terrorists are serious threat for them and for the country in totality. Now FATA people want success of government over the terrorists but success would not be without its cost or quick. This article helps to fill that knowledge gap by bringing a more detailed level of analysis to the understanding of how anti-state militant networks function at the local and extra- local levels. The paper also suggests the viable options and recommendations to eliminate the menace of the terrorism in Pakistan. Key Words : terrorism, militancy, historical, ideology, aggression, society * Muhammad Rafique is Deputy Director, Internal Studies in the Institute for Strategic Studies, Research and Analysis (ISSRA), National Defence University, Islamabad. ISSRA Papers 2014 119 Evolutionary Transformation of Religious Extremism Introduction History reveals that Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan mostly remained unstable even in pre and post Anglo-Afghan wars. -

Understanding External Policy Influences in Pakistani Higher Education
Understanding External Policy Influences in Pakistani Higher Education by Aamir Taiyeb A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education (LHAE) Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) University of Toronto © Copyright by Aamir Taiyeb 2019 Understanding External Policy Influences in Pakistani Higher Education Aamir Taiyeb Doctor of Philosophy Leadership, Higher and Adult Education University of Toronto 2019 Abstract Pakistan, the sixth most populous nation in the world, faces complex and multifaceted challenges as it seeks to achieve middle-income country status in the 21st century. To achieve this objective, Pakistan must address the quality, access and governance issues facing its higher education (HE) sector. With barely 1 in 10 Pakistanis being able to access tertiary-level studies, external agencies have stepped in to assist the Pakistani HE sector meets its development needs. Despite several decades of involvement, and hundreds of millions of dollars spent by international donors and aid agencies, little has been achieved. This dissertation examines the nature and extent of participation by international actors in Pakistan’s HE sector. The study explores the underlying dynamics between the external and the internal in the context of the sector, and seeks to identify points of convergence and divergence in terms of a preferred future. The central research question motivating the study is: How have external actors influenced Pakistan’s HE system, and in particular, its governance? To answer this question, 43 qualitative research interviews were conducted over 5 months in 3 large urban centres in Pakistan (Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad) with senior governors active in the Pakistani HE sector including representatives of Pakistani government agencies, international organizations and HE institutional leaders. -

In the case of East Pakistan, it has been written by the losers. One general,1 one lieutenant general,2 four major generals,3 and two brigadiers4 have given their account of the events leading to the secession of East Pakistan. Some of their compatriots, who witnessed or participated in the event, are still reluctant to publish their impressions. The credibility of such accounts depends on whether they were written for self-justification or for introspection. The utility of such accounts depends on whether they are relevant. On both counts, these recollections of the late Major General Khadim Hussain Raja are of definite value. They are candid and revealing; they are also imbued with respect for the opposite point of view. -

Since the military brought the first detainees to Guantánamo in January 2002, the Pentagon has consistently refused to comprehensively identify those it holds. While it has, at various times, released information about individuals who have been detained at Guantánamo, it has always maintained ambiguity about the population of the facility at any given moment, declining even to specify precisely the number of detainees held at the base. We have sought to identify the detainee population using a variety of records, mostly from habeas corpus litigation, and we have sorted the current population into subgroups using both the government’s allegations against detainees and detainee statements about their own affiliations and conduct.
