Khyber Agency Operation - Update
|
The Khyber agency operation is well underway and my personal impression is that that it has been fought more at media rather then on ground. The people of Mangal Bagh are retreating without fighting the advancing security forces of Pakistan. The home of Mangal Bagh has been blown with explosives after a small resistance by his men. Currently, Mangal Bagh is busy fighting his rival Ansar ul Islam forces in the Tirah Valley in Orakzai Agency. The security agency claims that the operations will continue for 5 days to establish the write of hte government in and around Peshawar. The operations hold significance because of the recent bold moves by the militants of entering the town of Peshawar openly. The problem is that the militants will continue their activity once the operation is over. The militants strategy is mainly guerilla and hence they will never take a frontal fight with the security agencies. The need is for a long term strategy to fight this rising menace of terrorism. |

There must be a long term strategy to weed out this menace. But the question is, that who is supposed to make and execute this strategy ? America ? Gilani ? Nawaz Sharif ? Asfandyar Wali ? I fail to understand what is going on ? America sent 4 F16s today when our govt decided to use selective force against the militants. Things are moving very fast. You cannot have any long term strategy with America in the backyard. America wants our Govt to confront mailitants and at the same time it is financing the militants to confront the Govt so that Americans feel easy in Pakistan. They only want an escalation. The logic is to first say a NO to America and then act on our own to tackle the militants. Coz we are dying anyway so why not do some macho practice on our own. But then again it is atall order to keep America quiet as it has stakes in Pakistan
