  • Pakistan: Operations in North Waziristan Agency, By
    scholar warrior Pakistan: Operations in North Waziristan Agency ALOK BANSAL Pakistan has been going through tumult and despite Nawaz Sharif winning a resounding victory in 2013, the prospects of his government lasting five years have started looking bleak. The withdrawal of International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) from Afghanistan by end 2014 is likely to create huge turbulence in the territories along the Durand Line. Civil-military relations are looking quite tenuous, the media is being muzzled, the chimera of talks with the militants is finally over and operations in North Waziristan have eventually started. The elections of 2013, which were held under the shadow of Taliban guns, had indicated support for right wing political parties and, consequently, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) came to power in Islamabad, while the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf (PTI) of Imran Khan formed a government in Peshawar. Both political parties believed that the Taliban could be talked into shunning violence. Accordingly, the government went out of its way to talk to the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), despite the TTP challenging the writ of the government in different parts of the country and targeting security installations and personnel. As a result, the killing of Hakeemullah Mehsud, the dreaded TTP leader in a drone attack by the US was protested by the government and viewed as a deliberate attempt by the US to derail the talks with the TTP. The death of Hakeemullah was a major blow to the TTP, but in his successor Fazlullah, they have found an experienced and even more shrewd and radical leader.

Phil Pakistan Studies, Al-Khair University, Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Bhimber. E-mail: [email protected] Accepted 15 May 2017 Federal Administered Tribal Area (FATA) considered a backward area of Pakistan. The residents of FATA were against western culture and education before military operation Zarb-e-Azb (Zeb). Unemployment made a big cause for the terrorism culture in this area. Local terrorist groups like as Tahrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, Haqqani Network and some groups of Al-Qaida forced the residents for waging war against Pakistan military forces. FATA was the heavenly place for the shelter of terrorists after 9/11 incident. After military Operation Zeb, Terrorism has decreased than the last three years. Military forces have successfully restored the writ of the state and numbers of terrorists and their facilitators killed and arrested in this operation. The aim of this study is finding the role of Pakistan military forces for the restoration of the writ of State after operation Zarb-e-Azb in FATA. This study will also show the effects of terrorism on the residents of FATA. During this research, it was found that Federal government failed for the provision of basic needs of the residents of FATA.

This report will be updated as events warrant. A U.S.-Pakistan relationship marked by periods of both cooperation and discord was transformed by the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States and the ensuing enlistment of Pakistan as a key ally in U.S.-led counterterrorism efforts. Top U.S. officials have praised Pakistan for its ongoing cooperation, although long-held doubts exist about Islamabad’s commitment to some core U.S. interests. Pakistan is identified as a base for terrorist groups and their supporters operating in Kashmir, India, and Afghanistan. Since 2003, Pakistan’s army has conducted unprecedented and largely ineffectual counterterrorism operations in the country’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) bordering Afghanistan, where Al Qaeda operatives and pro-Taliban insurgents are said to enjoy “safe haven.” Militant groups have only grown stronger and more aggressive in 2008.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 ABSTRACT The thesis begins by describing the socio-political and economic organisation of the tribes of Waziristan in the mid-nineteenth century, as well as aspects of their culture, attention being drawn to their egalitarian ethos and the importance of tarburwali, rivalry between patrilateral parallel cousins. It goes on to examine relations between the tribes and the British authorities in the first thirty years after the annexation of the Punjab. Along the south Waziristan border, Mahsud raiding was increasingly regarded as a problem, and the ways in which the British tried to deal with this are explored; in the 1870s indirect subsidies, and the imposition of ‘tribal responsibility’ are seen to have improved the position, but divisions within the tribe and the tensions created by the Second Anglo- Afghan War led to a tribal army burning Tank in 1879.

AT the conclusion of the military operations against the Wazir and Mahsud tribes in April, 1923,the force, named" Wazirforce," operating against these tribes remained in occupation of certain parts of the tribal country. The peace terms with the tribes included the right to construct roads, to open up the country and to station troops permanently where required. The interest of this new District to Royal Army Medical Corps officers coming to India lies firstly in the fact that many of them w:ilI be detailed. for a tour of service there, limited at the present time to one year for medical officers.

Title: British Intelligence Files on Afghanistan and its Frontiers Dates (inclusive): 1888-1946 Dates (bulk): 1906-1941 Abstract: Military and political intelligence on Afghanistan and its frontiers. Languages: Language of materials: English, with a few items in other (also local) languages. Extent: 410 microfiches; 193 files on 37,200 pages. Ordernumber: BIA-1 - BIA-9 • Location of Originals Filmed from the originals held by: British Library, Oriental & India Office Collections (OIOC). • Biography / history note The defence of the North-West Frontier of British India and the status of Afghanistan in the face of real or imagined Russian threats were dominant themes in the political and military strategies of British India for more than a hundred years, beginning with the First Afghan War intervention of 1838-42, when the British frontier had not actually reached Afghanistan. Strategic planning and policy formulation required information – intelligence on the terrain, communications, resources, internal politics, tribal groupings, rivalries, and personalities – to provide both ‘background’ for political relations and practical ‘know-how’ for possible military operations. Before 1922 there was no direct Government of India diplomatic or political representation inside Afghanistan, apart from disastrous attempts to station Residents at Kabul in 1838-42 and 1878-80, while the government in London did not consider Afghanistan to be a nation of a status requiring a diplomatic mission. Between 1882 and 1919, however, a succession of Indian Muslim Agents were posted to Kabul from India, and after the Third Afghan War of 1919-21 full diplomatic relations were finally established.
