Khyber IDPs: Finding home away from home
8
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan has said that around 36,000 families of internally displaced persons of North Waziristan Agency have returned from the Khost province of Afghanistan and have been registered at the Ali Zai area of Kurram Agency.
The governor said that after the successful completion of the targeted operation, the dignified repatriation of all the IDPs was the government’s top priority, marking a new beginning of progress in the tribal areas of Pakistan.
The Pakistani army is now regularly targeting suspected militants hideouts in Khyber, since fighters fled there from neighboring North Waziristan tribal region where it has been conducting a months-long operation. The offensive has also driven thousands of local tribesmen to leave their areas and head for safety in the main northwestern city of Peshawar.

Internally displaced person (IDP) definition also includes displacement due to economic hardships...India, Pakistan and other third world countries have millions of people who are displaced and need urgent support...India and Pakistan being good neighbor should help each other to alleviate suffering in these times of crisis...

What have we made of the once proud race of Pashtuns. Please, seek financial help from the world. There is no shame in it when our pride is costing the IDPs so much pain.

Pakistan has 5 big problems. Over Populations, Terrorism, Poverty, illiteracy, and corruption. We can overcome 4 problem Over Populations, Terrorism, illiteracy, and corruption, These are manmade, This is our fault we don't want to solve the problems, We think only about our own and we have no care for Pakistan. i am leaving in luxury house and spend 10,000 per dinner with my friends, but i have no sense that by paying only PKR1000 per month can educate a hawker child. and that resulted the tribal whPo were fighting for us ,are now used to fight with us who presented their lives for our country are now used to take the lives of their own nation. This is our fault that our brothers do not recognize us but they are used take the lives of their own. This is not a war we doing with each other but it has been deployed on us. Pakistani culture, metropolitans, Politicians, Civilization, religion are not safe, The dead and killer are both pakistani. Pakistani literacy rate is still 42%. and in tribal area it is 20% men and 5% woman. Which project of Pakistan is working for Child education? which project is working for Terrorism? which project is working for corruption?. We respect the IDPs sacrifices for successful military operation. Dear IDPs i am from Buner and I have been from the above situation after successful military operation we have now overcome at least one problem of terrorism, You will also get reward of your sacrifices.
