Warring groups announce ceasefire in Kurram, agree to vacate trenches
2007-11-23
The warring groups in Kurram Agency agreed to a ceasefire and handing over trenches to the political authorities on Thursday after successful talks with members of the peace Jirga.

Political administration sources said the entrenched warring groups have started vacating the trenches in the troubled areas of the Agency, and have announced a complete ceasefire —- ending a week of clashes which, according to unconfirmed reports, killed more than 100 and injured around 250.

The groups have started vacating their positions in Lower Kurram, Tangi, Palach Khel, and Sadda Town, the official sources said.

Meanwhile, NWFP Governor Lt Gen (r) Ali Muhammad Jan Orakzai has directed the Kurram Agency political agent to provide every possible help to the victims.

Local tribesmen took a sigh of relief after the ceasefire was announced and normalcy started returning to the agency.

The tribesmen, many of whom had migrated to other areas due to unrest in the agency since Friday last, started returning to their native areas.

#2  You asked for it.... and here we go..

Promenade across the floor
Sass shay right on out the door
Out the door and in to the glade
And everybody promenade

Step right up, you're doing fine
I'll pull your beard, you pull mine
Yank it again, like you did before
Break it up with a tug of war

Now into the brook and fish for the trout
Dive right in and splash about
Trout, trout, pretty little trout
One more splash and come right out

Shake like a hound dog, shake again
Wallow around in the old pig pen
Wallow some more, you all know how
Roll around like an old fat sow

Allemande left with your left hand
Follow through with a right-left grand
Now lead your partner, the dirty ol' thing
Follow through with an elbow swing

Grab a fence post, hold it tight
Whomp your partner with all your might
Hit him in the shin, hit him in the head
Hit him again, the critter ain't dead

Wop him low and wop him high
Stick your finger in his eye
Pretty little rhythm, pretty little sound
Bang your heads against the ground

Promenade all around the room
Promenade like a bride and groom
Open up the door and step right in
Close the door and into a spin

Whirl, whirl, twist and twirl
Jump all around like a flying squirrel
Now don't you cuss and don't you swear
Just come right out and form a square

Now right hand over and left hand under
Both join hands and run like thunder
Over the hill and over the dale
Duck your head and lift your tail

Don't you stray and don't you roam
Turn it around and promenade home
Corn in the crib pen, wheat in the sack
Turn your partner, promenade back

And now you're home
Bow to your partner
Bow to the gent across the hall
And that is all
