The military objectives, which are the only thing described as a success in this article, were to retake the area from the Taliban.
What will people reading the article think after reading it? Clearly depends on the person doesnt it, you and I have formed very different opinions about it. I have taken away:
- The taliban had driven away these girls from their homes through gruesome violence. The military has been successful in removing the Taliban from Swat, and so they have returned. Note that this is not the only female group that have been able to return to Swat,teachers and healthcare workershave also been able to return as a result of the success of the military’s objectives.
- A very human picture of the dancing girls themselves, showing them to be the exploited creatures they are. Any profiting off another’s nudity or sex tends to be expoitative, and the local political establishment, NGOs and public in general should do their duties in that regard.
