  • Access to Housing, Land & Property in Forced
    ACCESS TO HOUSING, LAND & PROPERTY IN FORCED DISPLACEMENT CONTEXTS Photo by Ivan Roma Manukrante AUTHOR Considerations and Recommendations for Katrien Ringelé, the World Bank Group and Other Investors Norwegian Refugee Council Executive Summary PEER REVIEWERS Access to Housing, Land and Property (HLP) is foundational to socio-economic Jim Robinson, Global inclusion and an essential steppingstone for refugees and IDPs (‘displaced Protection Cluster persons’) to rebuild their lives.8 Access to HLP means having a home, free from the Jamila El Abdellaou, fear of forced eviction, a place that offers safety, and the ability to seek livelihood HLP Expert opportunities. Displacement creates specific barriers to accessing HLP, and host government policies and practices may further restrict access intentionally or unintentionally. It is equally important to ensure that HLP legal frameworks are fully implemented and protected when violated. This requires considering HLP issues among the host population alongside those of displaced persons. Unresolved HLP issues are linked to recurring displacement, and may cause or worsen conflict, undermining stability and socio-economic development. The WBG and other investors have a role to play in strengthening host government response 8 Although different legal frameworks are applicable to refugees and IDPs, the types of barriers and challenges both groups face are similar. Therefore, the paper will refer to ‘displaced persons’ going forward. Access to Housing, Land & Property in Forced Displacement Contexts 21 to displaced person’s HLP access challenges. Such an approach begins with a thorough understanding of the HLP legal frameworks and practices and how they relate to displaced persons. It also requires implementing concrete mechanisms to enable displaced persons’ access to HLP, undertaking policy dialogue with governments, and addressing HLP rights violations as part of development efforts.

  • 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.

  • Religio-Political Movements in the Pashtun Belt-The Roshnites
    Journal of Political Studies, Vol. 18, Issue - 2, 2011: 119-132 Religio-Political Movements in the Pashtun Belt-The Roshnites Zahid Shah∗ Abstract The Pashtun belt, encompassing chiefly Eastern Afghanistan and North Western Pakistan, has been, and continues to be, the center of religio-political activity. This article aims at examining these activities in its historical perspectives and has focused on one of the earliest known Movements that sprouted in the region. The first known indigenous religio-political movement of high magnitude started in the area was the Roshnite struggle against 16th century Mughal India. The Movement originated in Mehsud Waziristan (forming part of contemporary tribal areas of Pakistan) and spread into the whole Pashtun regions. Initially aimed at doctrinal reformation, the Movement finally assumed a political character. The leader proclaimed his followers as rightly guided and the non- conformist as outcasts. This resulted in a controversy of high order. The Pashtun society was rent apart and daggers drawn. Hostile Pashtun factions first engaged in acrimony and polemics and eventually began killing in battle-fields. The story of the feuds of this period spreads over more or less a century. The leader of the movement, a religious and mystical practitioner, had a great charm to attract and transform people, but the movement at present times has little tracing. Besides the leader, the chief proponents of the movement were men endowed with literary and intellectual acumen. The combined efforts of the leader and his followers and also the forceful counter-reactionary movement, have enriched Pashtun language and lore. The literature produced during this period presents an interesting reading of the Pashtun history of this time.

  • Pakistan Response Towards Terrorism: a Case Study of Musharraf Regime
    PAKISTAN RESPONSE TOWARDS TERRORISM: A CASE STUDY OF MUSHARRAF REGIME By: SHABANA FAYYAZ A thesis Submitted to the University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Political Science and International Studies The University of Birmingham May 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The ranging course of terrorism banishing peace and security prospects of today’s Pakistan is seen as a domestic effluent of its own flawed policies, bad governance, and lack of social justice and rule of law in society and widening gulf of trust between the rulers and the ruled. The study focused on policies and performance of the Musharraf government since assuming the mantle of front ranking ally of the United States in its so called ‘war on terror’. The causes of reversal of pre nine-eleven position on Afghanistan and support of its Taliban’s rulers are examined in the light of the geo-strategic compulsions of that crucial time and the structural weakness of military rule that needed external props for legitimacy. The flaws of the response to the terrorist challenges are traced to its total dependence on the hard option to the total neglect of the human factor from which the thesis develops its argument for a holistic approach to security in which the people occupy a central position.
