  • Caught Between Five Extremes: Reporting Pakistan
    Caught between five extremes: Reporting Pakistan Razeshta Sethna Thomson Reuters Fellow Hilary and Trinity Terms 2015 1 Acknowledgements The opportunity to learn at the University of Oxford is invaluable. I would like to thank the Thomson Reuters Foundation for their generosity, interest and faith, without which this research paper would not have been possible. Your excel- lence, commitment and passion to develop the best practices in journalism have contributed to the very best experience of my professional and academic life. My supervisor, Caroline Lees has been more than generous with her time and patience, and while doing so shown huge amounts of curiosity for my difficult world. Thank you, Caroline. You always make it appear easy to accomplish the most difficult of tasks. I would also like to thank James Painter and David Levy for their interest and encouragement; for making the Institute an oasis of diversity in the midst of a traditional center of learning. And a thank you to the wonderful Reuters staff for ensuring my two terms at Oxford were exciting, stimulating, and packed with excellent food. This study would not have been possible without the many conversations with writers, editors and reporters; and the stories told by brave, committed jour- nalists and friends who agreed to be interviewed; sometimes over cups of coffee and cake; sometimes over crackling connections on Skype and Facetime. Thank you, Ayesha Azfar and Bahzad. Thank you, Hameed Haroon and Nilofer. Not just for your interest in showing me the importance of debate, reading just about all I can get my hands on, but with trusting me and teaching me.

  • Security Dynamics of Balochistan As a Determinant of Pakistan's Foreign
    Stratagem Security Dynamics of Balochistan as a Determinant of Pakistan’s Foreign Policy* On 3 May 2018, the Centre for Strategic and Contemporary Research held a panel discussion at the Pakistan Institute for Parliamentary Services, Islamabad, titled ‘Security Dynamics of Balochistan as a Determinant of Pakistan’s Foreign Policy’. The purpose of the discussion was to determine the significance of Balochistan’s internal dynamics for Pakistan’s foreign policy decision making as well as for regional peace and security. The select audience consisted of policymakers, diplomatic representatives, academicians, students and the media. Reproduced in this document is the transcript of the views of each of the panel discussants. Mir Sarfraz Bugti - Minister to Home and Tribal Affairs Due to shortage of time I will not discuss history, instead I will focus on the current scenario. When we took charge of the Government, we were confronted with three immediate security challenges. The first challenge was organised crime like street crimes, robberies, and target killings. The second challenge, looming on the horizon was of terrorism being committed in the name of religion, which is highly problematic because it makes the global community believe that Islam is associated with terrorism. Third was the challenge of violence committed in the name of patriotism or ‘Qaum-parasti’ which the Assembly recognises as terrorism, but intellectuals and friends from the media, including most people from Punjab refer to as the ‘upset Baloch’. I do not believe in ethnic division and I am an advocate of provincial harmony. In fact I am also married to a woman from Punjab.

Exactions étatiques à l’encontre des nationalistes baloutches et des populations locales Ces dernières années, les forces de sécurité et les agences de renseignement pakistanaises ont systématiquement assimilé tous les partis nationalistes baloutches aux organisations les plus radicales.1 La répression de groupes armées et des mouvements nationalistes baloutches s’est notamment traduite par des opérations militaires dans les zones perçues comme des bastions de l’insurrection baloutche et par d’innombrables enlèvements et assassinats.

The Ministry of Interior and Narcotics Control presented a report in the National Assembly in January, 2016. According to this report, a committee on FATA reforms has been constituted, surrender of and reconciliation with Baloch insurgents is under way, an urban pacification operation in Karachi has created a significant decline in murder and violence (particularly target killings), and thousands of ter- rorists have been arrested or killed.1 6.2 FATA Reforms 6.2.1 Historical Background of FATA FATA is geographically located along the Durand line, with KP on its eastern bor- der. The semi-autonomous region is comprised of seven agencies — Bajaur, Mohmand, Khyber, Orakzai, Kurram, North Waziristan and South Waziristan. The Frontier Crimes Regulations (FCR), an archaic, draconian piece of legisla- tion, serves as the manifestation of government writ in the Federally Adminis- tered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan, dating back to the British colonial period in pre-partition India.
