Tribesmen want Nato supplies linked to halt in drone attacks
[Dawn] Elders of South  Wazoo Agency on Tuesday urged the government not to reopen NATO...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... supply route in the country until the US stopped the deadly drone attacks in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas. Malik Khan Marjan, Malik Ashraf Khan, Malik Faridullah, Malik Jalal Khan, Malik Shahjehan, Malik Ghulam Khan and others, who converged on the Beautiful Downtown Peshawar Press Club to address a news conference, regretted non-implementation of parliament's unanimously-adopted resolutions on security and said the government should stop following policies meant to please the US and instead act to serve the country's interests. They also urged the government to declare Fata a separate province, saying it'll bring the hitherto neglected region on a par with the country's developed areas. Tribal elders also complained of being stressed out by growing socioeconomic problems in their area and said their member of the National Assembly had miserably failed to deliver over the last four years. Mr Marjan said people of South Waziristan were leading a miserable life absence of basic facilities, local MNA Kamran Khan's negligence and US drone attacks. He criticised the MNA for failing to get even a single development scheme initiated over the last four years and leveled corruption charges against him. Posted by: Fred 2012-03-29 |
