    THE WAZIRISTAN ACCORD Evagoras C. Leventis* The Waziristan Accord between Pakistan’s government and tribal leaders in that country’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) has failed not only to curb violence in the immediate region but also to restrict cross-border militant activity--including resurgent Taliban and al-Qa’ida cadres-- between Pakistan’s “tribal belt” and Afghanistan. The purpose of this article is to examine the Waziristan Accord and to indicate why agreements of this nature will continue to fail unless there is a substantial modification in Pakistan’s internal and regional policies.

  • Media Construction of Tehreek-E- Taliban Pakistan
    Örebro University School of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences Date 12 May, 2013 MEDIA CONSTRUCTION OF TEHREEK-E- TALIBAN PAKISTAN: A Critical Discourse Analysis of the News Reports of the FATA Conflict Published in Pakistani newspapers, The Daily Jang and Daily Nawa-i-waqt MA Thesis Global Journalism Supervisor: Leonor Camaüer Author: Abdul Qayyum Bhatti Abstract Pakistan allied with the US in the Global War on Terror (GWOT) between late 2001 and early 2002. Being the US’s ally, Pakistan launched military operations in the semi-governed Federally Administrated Tribal Areas (FATA) to drive out the jihadists who sought refuge in the areas after conducting guerrilla operations against NATO led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. Pakistani security forces (SFs) met with considerable resistance by the tribal insurgents, who in 2007 named themselves the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The FATA conflict related news reports often make headlines in the most-read Urdu-language newspapers in Pakistan. As news media is regarded as an important element in influencing public opinion, this study focuses on the news reports published in The Daily Jang and Daily Nawa-i-waqt in order to figure out how the newspapers effect the public opinion by constructing the actors (Pakistani security forces and Pakistani Taliban) and the action (the military operations). As I was not able to find any research conducted on the conflict which analyses Pakistani newspapers, this study is an addition to the literature available on the FATA conflict and the GWOT. This study fills the gap by analysing 30 news articles which are systematically selected from the newspapers published in the last ten years.
