High values of valor and hospitality of Pakistani tribesmen dwelling around Pak-Afghan border from Waziristan to Bajure became source of trouble for them, when they became hosts of Arab Alqaeeda extremists and Central Asian Chechan and Uzbek extremists, after nine eleven.
Taliban ideology emanated in Afghanistan had engulfed the Pakistani tribesmen into prevailing madness in Afghanistan. Iranian revolution had deepened the Shia Sunni rift in tribal and settled areas of Pakistan. With the ouster of Shah of Iran from power in Iran, and intervention of Soviets in Afghanistan in late 1970’s South and Central Asian regions were gradually engulfed by extremism.
Serene Valleys of Orakzai agency where wild flowers spread over green hills used to blossom now witnessing hell fire falling from air and ground as well, the reason behind it is existence of extremists in these valleys. ‘Throat slitting Taliban and Alqaeeda militants have training camps and human slaughter houses in Daburi, Ghiljo and Feroz Khel areas of Orakzai agency, extremists are spread over in the whole Orakzai agency, PAF jet fighters are regularly carrying out air strikes, during last week dozens of extremists were killed, and inured but in Mamoonzai area of Orakzai agency fifteen civilians mostly women and children were also fallen victim to air attacks,’ a source has said.
‘From Dara Adam Khel to Parachinar mountainous region has no maps on record, militants born in these tribal areas move back and forth in the tribal belt, abducted Dr. Lutfullah Kaka Khel vice chancellor Kohat University of Science and Technology has been kept in Matani area he is not taken away to Orakzai agency by his abductors,’ intelligence sources.
‘IDP’s from Orakzai agency are not allowed to enter in settled area of Kohat, amid air and ground offensive of Pakistan armed forces on militants in Orakzai agency, common people are in big trouble, at least IDP’s shall be allowed to stay in homes of their relatives in Kohat, if government does not afford to keep them in camps, to reduce the sufferings of women and children of Orakzai tribal area,’ a source has said.
Tradition of hospitality has become a trap for tribesmen of Waziristan and Orakzai agency, while adhering to the tribal tradition of (Panah) refuge these tribesmen are confronting security forces of Pakistan, consequently in their effort to protect their throat slitting Arab, Chechan and Uzbek Alqaeeda and Taliban extremist guests, tribes men are facing death and displacement.
