India-Pakistan

Selective approach

[DAWN] THERE were many who believed the army would never confront the turbans in North Wazoo. Too many strategic assets were located there, they said. And the cost of appeasing the West by dismantling the myrmidons’ infrastructure would be too high. But the predictions were wrong. Eventually -- after years of hesitation -- the army did move in.

It’s easy to forget now that back in 2007 it was not uncommon to hear Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
ites say they were moving their children out of the city for fear that the state could not provide sufficient security. And even if many of those parents still worry today about the risk of their offspring being kidnapped, there can be little doubt that the situation is vastly improved.
