Taliban Defeated

Yesterday, on the main road that leads to Swat I saw many people and vehicles preparing to leave. People were saying good bye and were thanking their Mardan hosts for their hospitality.

I've got a friend who works for the police, he is now in Mingora. I bumped into him by chance a few days ago. He had come here to Mardan seven days ago to see his family and went back to Mingora two days later. We talked at length.

He said that the security situation had improved. The army there said that the only way they can defeat the militants is with the support of the ordinary people. So there's a lot less fear and people feel much more confident.

As the man said that the only way they can defeat the militants is with the support of the ordinary people or alternatively we can said that residents of that area because as I already mentioned in my previous posts that the native persons well known each other and they can support army to fight or identify them (activists) well. Secondly lashkars organized and run by local tribal persons are also looking after the infected areas so there's a lot less fear and people feel much more confident to go back to there homes.

Above review is based on
BBC news
