#1 "...turn to elders in their clan to resolve family and other feuds instead of going to the police."

Lets see. Child abduction and most likely child rape. An arranged marrige followed by arson, violent threats, and a murder of an 11 year old boy. Yep...that's Jirga resolve bayybee!

#2 ...appealed to a tribal jirga, or council, for justice after his daughter was snatched.

Mistake #1.

...prompting Saeed Akbar to seek protection from the jirga.

Mistake #2.

If he goes back to them they're liable to have his head cut off or a daughter gang-raped on general principle.
