  • Will Terrorism Hijack the Pakistani Elections? Kiran Hassan*
    Opinion: Will Terrorism Hijack the Pakistani Elections? Kiran Hassan* Institute of Commonwealth Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London, UK *[email protected] First published in the Daily Times of Pakistan, 22 April 2013.1 Pakistan expects a historic general election in 2013 which might be jeopardized by terrorist attacks. For the first time, a momentous democratic transition – in which one democratically elected government, after completing its full term, will succeed another – is about to take place. Yet many suspect that if the fresh bout of violence from militant groups continues, furthering chaos and lawlessness, the expected general election might not happen. Militancy continues to be the hydra-headed beast that the top Pakistani leadership has failed to slay. The critical question remains: Is the Pakistani leadership willing to tackle this breeding problem or is it comfortable with remaining habitually complacent? The New Year brought shameful and dreaded assaults by extremist groups on the Pakistani Shia community. Groups such as Lashkar-e-Jhangvi have long regarded Shia Muslims as heretics. Stepping up attacks recently, the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (a banned organization) are thought to have set up several training camps for militants, and have access to large quantities of weapons and explosives. The brutality started when 81 people were killed and 121 injured in a suicide car bomb blasts in Quetta’s Alamdar Road area on the night of then 10th of January 2013.2 Lashkar-e-Jhangvi claimed responsibility for the attack. The majority of the people killed in the Alamdar Road blasts belonged to the Hazara Shia community.

  • Understanding Karachi: Patterns of Conflict and Their Implications
    Pakistan Perspectives Vol. 22, No.2, July-December 2017 Focus on Karachi Understanding Karachi: Patterns of Conflict and their Implications Naeem Ahmed* Abstract The paper critically examines the patterns of conflict in Karachi and their socio- economic, political and security implications by arguing that many of the conflicts flourish under the political umbrellas, and the city has become the victim to the power temptations and control on part of political actors. In order to understand the patterns of conflict in today‘s Karachi, there are four different, but inter-related and in some cases overlapping, aspects – ethno-political; sectarian; terrorism; and crime-related conflicts – which not only have made the situation more complex, but also led to a perpetual wave of violence in the city. The paper further argues that many of Karachi‘s conflicts have emanated from two inter-connected processes: unchecked influx of migrants in various phases, and as a result the formation of informal squatter settlements. In order to resolve Karachi‘s conflicts, the paper, therefore, suggests both short-term and long-term strategies, which focus on the issues of governance which would help separate the nexus between politics, criminality and militancy; and the need for changing Pakistan‘s security narrative vis-à-vis its eastern and western neighbors respectively. ______ Introduction On 11 June 2015, the Director General of Sindh Rangers, Major General Bilal Akbar, during the Sindh Apex Committee meeting revealed a link between criminality, politics and violence in Karachi. According to the press release, General Akbar said that an evil nexus of political leaders, civil servants and gang lords was involved in nurturing and sheltering organized crime and terrorism in Karachi.

  • Contending Ethnic Identities: an Issue to Pakistan's Internal Security (The Case of Karachi) Umbreen Javaid and Rehana Saeed H
    Journal of Political Studies, Vol. 19, Issue - 1,2012, 57:77 Contending Ethnic Identities: An Issue to Pakistan’s Internal Security (The case of Karachi) Umbreen Javaid and Rehana Saeed Hashmi♠ Abstract Intra-ethnic conflict is an inevitable feature of plural societies. The presence of diverse ethnic groups poses an acute threat to Pakistan’s internal security. The uneven political, economic and social growth of these ethnies also accompanies the deteriorating situation especially in the city of Karachi. The deeply entrenched ethnic animosity, sectarian interests of religious elites and mutilated political leadership has plunged Karachi into a vortex of endless violence. The main argument of the present article is that there is a direct connection between political elite, ethnic parties and criminal gangs in Karachi. The article also highlighted various factors, influencing intra-ethnic warfare in Karachi. Keywords: Ethnicity, Plural societies, ethnic conflict, over centralization, political mobilization Introduction: In contemporary world, ethnic heterogeneity is a usual phenomenon. All multiethnic societies confront with the problem of accommodating various ethnic groups. The issue becomes more severe when these ethnic groups owe allegiance to their own ideology and philosophy. The continuous tussle among them not only a cause of national security dilemma but proved a constant threat for the prosperity of the nation and progress of the state. The undersigned study has its focus on Pakistan’s internal security dimension in relation to intra-ethnic warfare in Karachi. The analysis is organized on the concept of ethnicity, its nature and sources of conflict among ethnic groups. The detailed discussion for analytical delineation necessitates understanding the concept of ethnic group, ethnicity and ethnic conflict.

  • The Social Effects of Drone Warfare on the F.A.T.A. and Wider Pakistan
    THE SOCIAL EFFECTS OF DRONE WARFARE ON THE F.A.T.A. AND WIDER PAKISTAN Stephen Pine, January 2016 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the MA degree in Development and Emergency Practice, Oxford Brookes University The Social Effects of Drone Warfare on the F.A.T.A. and Wider Pakistan Abstract The FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Areas) of Pakistan have a long history of conflict and have been used as something of a proving ground for U.S. drones, operated jointly by the USAF (United States Air Force) and the CIA. This dissertation aims to evaluate the social effects of drone strikes and drone surveillance upon the civilian population of the FATA as well as other regions of Pakistan. Through statistical correlative analysis this dissertation finds that, far from achieving the aim of eliminating militancy within the FATA, drone strikes have acted as a recruitment tool for the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) and have harmed the local civilian population. FATA residents have been caught in a deadly cycle of drone strikes followed by militant revenge-attacks which have often been known to focus on ‘softer’ civilian targets. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data within this dissertation reveals that even the basic functioning of schools within the FATA has been affected, with both teachers and students hesitant to attend for fear of attack. Drone strikes in the region have also led to financial insecurity for families as they have lost their male ‘bread-winners’. This has been compounded by the destruction of family property and assets. Furthermore, local residents have been found to have developed mental health problems and, in many cases, display clear symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
