MAX Security Report Intel@Max-Security.Com +44 203 540 0434 MAX Security Report [email protected] +44 203 540 0434 Protest Pakistan Tactical: Pashtun group to rally near 12 Al Asif Square, Sohrab Goth area in Karachi on MAY May 13; maintain vigilance 16:15 UTC Please be advised • The Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) is slated to hold a protest in Karachi’s Sohrab Goth near Al Asif Square at 16:00 (local time) on May 13. The rally is part of the Pashtun Long March rights campaign, calling on provincial and central government to stop alleged extrajudicial killings, remove landmines in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), and release arrested PTM members. • At least 150 PTM activists were arrested under charges of terrorism, sedition, defamation, and unlawful assembly following a public gathering held in the Sultanabad area of Karachi on April 9. The PTM claims the arrests were an attempt by security forces to sabotage the May 13 public gathering. • On May 12, the Administration of Karachi approved the PTM rally but the organizers have been directed to end it at 18:30. Sources from May 12 also indicate that the PTM’s leader Manzoor Pashteen was not allowed to board his flight to Karachi ahead of the rally. Meanwhile, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) voiced its support for the protest event. • On May 14, the suspended Senior Superintendent police officer Rao Anwar, accused of killing Naqeebullah Mehsud, a Pashtun resident of Karachi in January, is slated to appear in front of a court over extrajudicial killings allegations. The killing triggered nationwide protests from Pashtun groups. page 1 / 2 Assessments 1. Pashtun Long March rallies have typically drawn thousands of supporters. These numbers are likely to be bolstered as the rally is being held in Karachi, where Naqeebullah Mehsud was killed, and given the considerable number of Pashtuns living in the city. Sohrab Goth’s location as a vital entry point into the city may impede traffic flow, in the event that the protest spills over into neighborhoods along the Super Highway. 2. Sensitivities are likely to be high considering the timing of the protest, a day before Rao Anwar’s hearing. Hostilities between the police and Pashtun groups against this backdrop, as well as the reported attempts to prevent senior leaders like Pashteen from participating, increases the risk of clashes at the event. Another factor that may exacerbate tensions surrounding the event is the MQM-P’s endorsement of it, based on longstanding friction between the party and local law enforcement. The risk of forcible police dispersals may also be increased if PTM supporters do not adhere to the 18:30 deadline for their event. Recommendations Those operating or residing in Karachi on May 13 are advised to maintain vigilance given the potential for unrest at the PTM protest and allot for potential disruptions to travel in the Sohrab Goth area. page 2 / 2 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • 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.

On the orders of Supreme Court the government started a massive demolition operation in the city. Over 15,000 venders and small shopkeepers were displaced during this operation. The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has demolished shops in a brutal way without any prior notices. No compensations and resettlement were offered to the displaced shopkeepers. In many instances the shopkeepers were not allowed to take out their goods before demolition of their shops. The communities along Karachi Circular Railway (KCR) tracks were also received fresh threats of evictions. The demonstration and resistance from the communities forced the government to stop this demolition operation. The government promised for a resettlement plan for the KCR communities as well as for displaced shopkeepers but still could not come up with any plan. URC developed collaboration with NGOs and academic institution to stop forced evictions and prepared alternative. The press conference and protest were organized against forced evictions. During current reporting period URC held forums on the following subject: Hospital Waste Management – An overview of the issues” Goods Transport – Issues and solution” Women health education Women health education The trauma of eviction experienced by women Land Ownership and Forced evictions Land rights and its ownership URC has initiated the Community Architect Program.
