The Quest for Peace in Chechnya: the Relevance of Pakistan’S Tribal Areas Experience
The Quest for Peace in Chechnya: The Relevance of Pakistan’s Tribal Areas Experience Svante E. Cornell Maria Sultan October 2002 Svante Cornell is Executive Director and Maria Sultan Pakistan Bureau Director of Cornell Caspian Consulting. Cornell is also Research Director of the Silk Road Studies Program at Uppsala University and Deputy Director of the Central Asia- Caucasus Institute, Johns Hopkins University. Sultan is Senior Fellow at the Institute of Strategic Studies, Islamabad, Pakistan. The Quest for Peace in Chechnya: The Relevance of Pakistan’s Tribal Areas Experience Though the war in Chechnya has clearly reached a deadlock, there seems to be little hope of a solution. Political analyst almost unanimously believe the war is set to continue for another several years, and few expect any development toward a peaceful resolution before 2004, at the earliest. This war is extremely costly for both sides, and damaging to the regional security of the entire Caucasus region. The blunt of the burden has been borne by Chechen civilians, who have for several years faced Russian aerial bombardment, zachistkas, death and mutilation, poverty and destruction. For Russia, Chechnya is a costly war that it cannot afford, depleting the resources of its military, while the Russian army is sinking ever deeper into chaos, the war thwarting all possible military reform. The military is taking casualties on a continuous basis, casualties that are far higher than it is publicly admitting. Unwilling or unable to find a way out of the war, the Putin administration has instead tried to regionalize the conflict, blaming Georgia for hosting Chechen rebels and threatening to launch a unilateral military intervention on Georgian territory.

Geology and Chemical Mineralogy of the Zhob Valley Chromite Deposits, West Pakistan S
THE AMERICAN MINERALOGIST, VOL. 54, JANUARY_FEBRUARY, 1969 GEOLOGY AND CHEMICAL MINERALOGY OF THE ZHOB VALLEY CHROMITE DEPOSITS, WEST PAKISTAN S. A. Brr-cnevrr,Pokistan Chrome Mines Limited, Hind.ubagh,W estP aki stan. Alsrn.tcr Analyzed chromites of the Zhob Valley layered ultramafic complex show areal varia- tions in replacement of Cr by Al and l'e3+, possibly related to a sequence of differentiation. The magma followed a normal course of cr)'stallization and olivine rvas the first mineral to crystallize. INrnolucrroN The Zhob Valley mafic-ultramafi.cigneous complex (including the rocks described earlier as part of the Hindubagh igneous complex) in West Pakistan is exposedintermittently over more than 2000 square miles, al- though the complete extent is not yet known. Localities and distribution of the larger ultramafic outcrops of this complex are shown in Figure 1. The western-most outcrops of the igneous complex are a few miles west of Khanozai in Quetta-Pishindistrict, and the best exposuresare to be seenin the Hindubagh-Nasai area of the Zhob district, where some of the larger hills such as Jungtorghar and Saplaitorghar are composedalmost entirely of theserocks. Sporadic outcrops of mafic rocks, probably related to this complex, occur along the road from Qilla Saifullah to Fort Sande- man, and from 12 miles north of Forl Sandemanto the Afghanistan bor- der there is scattereddevelopment of theserocks. PRevrous Wonn Following the discovery of chromite'in the Zhob Valley complex in 1902 the first systematic geologicalwork was carried out by Vredenburg (Holland, 1906)who describedthese rocks as "intrusive gabbros and ser- pentine, frequently chromite bearing" and mapped the area on a scaleof one inch to four miles.

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.

IVAP Analysis Report April 2015
IVAP Analysis Report April 2015 IVAP is proudly funded by ECHO and DFID Background to KP/FATA Complex Emeregency The Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) is a semi-autonomous tribal region in northwestern Pakistan. It borders Afghanistan as well as Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Baluchistan provinces. More than 5 million people have been registered with the government and/or UNHCR as an internally displaced person (IDP) at some point since 2008 due to violent clashes in the country’s northwest region made up of FATA and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province. The 2014 military operations in North Waziristan and Khyber Agencies aggravated the situation, leading to the displacement of a further 233,000 families (approximately 1.4 million people). According to latest estimates from the UNHCR (2014), there are currently 1.6 million registered IDPs in KP/FATA. The vast majority of IDPs in KP/FATA chose to live in host communities (97%) rather than in camps for cultural reasons, including the privacy of females and difficult living conditions in the camps. The rest, who often have no other option, live in IDP camps (3%) (WFP). OCHA and other sources put the proportion of displaced families living outside of camps at 90% (OCHA, 18 June 2014; NYT, 20 June 2014; Al-Jazeera, 26 June 2014; IDMC, 12 June 2013, p.6). Displacement is difficult in Pakistan, which is ranked 146th on the list of 186 countries covered by the Human Development Index (UNDP, 24 July 2014, p.159). An estimated one fifth of its population are poor across the country, while in the KP/FATA a staggering one third of the population are poor (FDMA/UNDP, 2012, p.5; HDR, 2013, p.18; HPG, May 2013, p.21; UNDP, 27 October 2011).
