Well, if they can ‘negotiate’ with the tribal people, the first demand should be to let anti-polio teams to operate freely and safely. This is a disgusting situation for Pakistan that we cannot eliminate polio because some armed terrorists do not want it. Some mullah’s have a fair share of blame too, claiming the vaccine to be ‘anti-islamic’ a few years ago.
P.S. If the claim by some Mullahs that this anti-Polio vaccine causes infertility in people is true, that is even better for Pakistan. We need population control too!

Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria are the only countries where polio is endemic. Polio cases in Pakistan hit 198 in 2011, the highest figure for more than a decade and the most of any country in the world, according to the UN.
