Tensions erupted in South Waziristan when an SHO led an unauthorized raid on a local house without a legal warrant, sparking outrage among the residents. In a bold act of defiance, the local Pashtuns detained the SHO and accompanying officials, demonstrating their frustration with repeated violations perpetrated by the Paki regime .
In an attempt to diffuse the situation, police officials later arrived seeking the release of their detained colleague. Embracing Pashtun customs, they offered goats as a gesture of reconciliation.
However, such traditions of peace are repeatedly undermined by the Punjabi Pakistan Army’s oppressive actions in Pashtun areas. The same livestock presented as peace offerings today are often decimated by relentless airstrikes carried out by the Punjabi military, leaving Pashtun families impoverished and struggling for survival.
The Paki establishment is deliberately inflicting economic hardship on the Pashtun population through these attacks. The Army’s use of heavy-handed tactics, such as indiscriminate bombings, has only deepened resentment among Pashtuns, who are victims of systemic brutality. Despite these hardships, the community remains resilient, resisting the Army’s colonial-style repression and exploitation.
