^ I am talking about things in general throughout the tribal belt. No doubt that government and security agencies have let them down, but we also do not see any serious uprising from them. After all it’s all happening in their own backyard. The onus to maintain law and order rests with Islamabad, but if we take their historical background into account, it becomes so baffling that they would so spinelessly allow to be taken over by a bunch of armed gangsters.

Uprising in general is not a good thing, that would push the areas into a civil war. I do not support the military’s strategy of propping up lashkars of opposite tribes in FATA too. The military should take the responsibility of guarding the frontiers itself as that’s what they are paid for. If every Tom, Dick and Harry were to start guarding himself, whats the need of the military or government? What would happen to these militias once the war is over?

As far as the armed brutes in FATA are concerned, you and I know who they (locals) are up with.
