Pakistan: The Militant Jihadi Challenge, new report by ICG

International crisis group is a very influential pressure group with people like Kofi Anan, George Soros, Richard Armitage, Wesley Clark and even Prince Turki al-Faisal of Suadi Arabia on its board of trustees. What is interesting is that in their latest report ‘Pakistan: The militant jihadi challenge’ they have finally made the obvious and correct observations and conclusions as to the reasons of extremism in Pakistan.

Could give us a summary of what their conclusions are?

Re: Pakistan: The Militant Jihadi Challenge, new report by ICG

there is no point in reading reports by western think tanks. They have no told the truth. They dont want to see Pakistan succesful.Pakistanis should listen to each other and respect each other.

Specially because its the truth and very embarrassing. ;)

Read pages 3-5 executive summary and conclusions.

They also predicted 'weapons of mass destruction' in Iraq.

Re: Pakistan: The Militant Jihadi Challenge, new report by ICG

they've made some concrete and incontrovertible recommendations to the govt of Pakistan. Frankly these are common sense recoms and perhaps one of the few chances left. Things simply cannot be allowed to degerate any further
