  • Governance and Militancy in Pakistan's Kyber Agency
    December 2011 1 Governance and Militancy in Pakistan’s Khyber Agency Mehlaqa Samdani Introduction and Background In mid-October 2011, thousands of families were fleeing Khyber, one of the seven tribal agencies in Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), to refugee camps or relatives living outside of FATA. Their flight was in response to the announcement by the Pakistani military that it was undertaking a fresh round of operations against militant groups operating in the area. Militants have been active in Khyber (and FATA more generally) for several years. Some have used the area as a safe haven, resting between their own military operations in Afghanistan or other parts of Pakistan. Others have competed locally for influence by providing justice or security services, by decrying the ruling elite’s failure to provide these and other services to the local population, or by using force against those people the militants consider threatening or un-Islamic. The Pakistani military’s actions against militants in Khyber have already driven most of these nonstate groups out of the more populated areas and into Khyber’s remote Tirah Valley. But beyond that, the government of Pakistan has failed to implement most of the legal and political changes required to reform Khyber’s dysfunctional governance system to meet the needs of its residents. Khyber Agency is home to some half-million people, all of whom are ethnic Pashtuns from four major tribal groupings: Afridi, Shinwari, Mullagori, and Shalmani. It is also home to the historic Khyber Pass (to Afghanistan’s Nangarhar Province). Khyber Agency covers an area of 2,576 square kilometers, with Mohmand Agency to the north, the district of Peshawar to the east, Orakzai Agency to the south, and Kurram Agency to the west.

  • Major Tectonic Scars of Peshawar Vale and Adjoining Areas And
    oining Areas, Magmatism R. A. KHAN TAHIRKHELI Abstract: The Vale of Peshawar, spread in about 1800 sq. lun area, constitutes an important tectonic zone in the northwestern margin of the Indo-Pakistan plate. It is surrounded by weUcarved mega-tectonic features, which originated during post collisional alpine orogenic episodes, starting from Late Cretaceous and lasting till Early Pleistocene. The main tectonic evolutionary history of the, Vale is syngenetic to these episodes, though some pre- alpine tectonic scars have also been distinguished. Ten major fault tectonics have been described in this paper, out of which six are located within the Vale and the remaining four occur in the adjoining areas. An attempt has been made to decipher these tectonic scars and to delineate associated magmatism in the Vale of Peshawar.

  • Guns, Drugs, and Thugs Smuggling in the Golden Crescent
    Guns, Drugs, and Thugs Smuggling in the Golden Crescent Michael Watson Michael Watson is from Richmond, Virginia and graduated from the University of Virginia in May of 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in History. He is currently pursuing his master’s in International Affairs with a concentration in Security Policy Studies. He is presently working for Charles Krauthammer as a researcher. Dr. Krauthammer is a syndicated columnist at the Washington Post, a Fox News contributor, and the author of New York Times best seller “Things That Matter.” Michael’s primary research interests are the Middle East and South Asia. ABSTRACT The Golden Crescent, which includes Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, is one of the most important regions in the world for the global narcotics trade. Afghanistan’s poppy cultivation surged in the 1970s and it became a global supplier of opiates when other countries in the region banned poppies. Arms smuggling in Pakistan and Afghanistan traces back to resistance against British colonial rule, but the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan catalyzed the cross- border movement of weapons and narcotics in the region. Smugglers took advantage of preexisting routes and developed new ones during the 1980s to create the routes that are still in use today. Afghanistan’s prolific poppy fields now produce a massive outpouring of opiates that smugglers transport to European and other foreign markets. Traffickers use well- developed networks and techniques to convey narcotics from Afghanistan to Pakistan and Iran and precursor chemicals to heroin labs near the border through a combination of force, stealth, and corruption. Despite the Golden Crescent’s well-deserved reputation for narcotics, weapons trafficking predates the transnational drug trade, and entrepreneurial smugglers still provide the Taliban and other insurgent groups with firearms and heavier weapons.
