What next after Swat and FATA....!!!!

World has seen the influence and power of Taleban and people who love their own way of life. Peoplein FATA have fought and are still fighting aggression against them on the behest of US hegemononistic designs. Pakistan Army though is reluctant, still has become a party to kill its own citizen. This war on terror is not a war of Pakistan. It is clearly a war of USA which is exerting herself in all parts of the world - being a so called "only" superpower.

Afghnis and Pashtuns in particular on both sides of the Durand line have defeated US and NATO forces. Ground reality is that US and NATO forces are confined to their bases and have aerial dominance.Hearts and minds of all Afghans and Pashtuns are against US occupation and aggression.

In Swat, the situation is for implementation of Shariah laws and all this got fuelled when people came to conclusion that Pakistani government has become subserviant to US influences. People stood up against their own army and have won the first round of the conflict. It is true that there are foreigh elements present in Swat area but they can be eliminated with support from Sufi Muhammad of TNSM and Talebans led by Maulvi Fazal Ullah.

On ground, people are excited to have Shariah laws agreed for their region. Its a fact that anglo saxon laws are heavily tilted towards rich and corrupt people. further they are lenghty and have no impact on society as a whole. Muslims of NWFP and Afghanistan have highest respect for their religion and they never allow anyone to dictate their way of life. Its an irony that majority of commentators on TV networks and newspapers have either no comprehension of Pashtun society or they are indenial mode of the ground realities.

FATA comprising roughly half of NWFP and Malkand Division (comprising of Dir,Swat Chitral, Buner and Shangla) which is part of settled administration of NWFP have gone into the controlling influence of taleban and people who love Shariah laws and hate foreign influences and ingresses. Clearly, they have come out victorious no matter how much drones are sent to kill innocent children and women.

As astudent of politics, I can see that influence of Taleban will have their next target in settled areas of Hazara Division. It should be noted that Kohistan Dirtict which is part of Hazara Division has already gone to the influence of Taleban and Shariah laws have been agreed there.
Mansehra District which has all the natural intincts for any islamic movement, is likely to see the fresh episode there.

Mansehra has mountains, rivers, poverty, and a corrupt administration right from representatives in assemblies, local administrations and absence of any civic amenties. Earth quake affectees are a ready made chunk of disgruntled elements in the area who are fed up with the absence of relief initiatives for their settlement.
