Gen Kayani's visit of Kurram is in Order to boost the morale of the troops and give some backing to the locals that have been besieged by the Taliban for years.
This agency has been the training ground of the sectarian terrorists who used to come to kill the minority shias with virtual impunity but thanks to Pakistan army, at last got the taste of their own medicine.

COAS rejects US demand for NWA operation
By: Maqbool Malik | Published: August 11, 2011
ISLAMABAD - US Ambassador to Pakistan Cameron Munter Wednesday called on the Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kiyani and exchanged views on the strained US-Pakistan relations, sources said.
The ISPR said that it had no knowledge of the meeting. However, diplomatic sources told The Nation that the US envoy who met with General Kiyani on his request discussed the challenges both the countries are facing in improving the bilateral relations.
According the sources, the Army Chief ostensibly rejected the ambassador’s demand for military action against militants in North Waziristan on the plea that any military action has to be decided by the government.
General Kiyani, the sources said, also took serious exception of the CIA operated drone strikes in Waziristan as it was counter productive and was promoting anti-US sentiments among the tribesmen.
Confirming the meeting the US Embassy spokesman said it was a private meeting and “The embassy normally does not share private meetings’ details with media”, adding that the Ambassador normally meets different members of the society while being strategic partner with Pakistan.

COAS SPEECH - AZADI PARADE – 2011
Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen!
1. Please accept my heartiest felicitations on 64th anniversary of the Independence Day of Pakistan. I thank our distinguished guests for joining us tonight. Your presence has added to the grace and spirit of the Azadi Parade.
2. Azadi Parade by Pakistan Army has become a landmark event on our National Calendar, which further strengthens our bondage with our beloved motherland. This parade reminds us of the sacrifices that made the dream of Pakistan a possibility. It also gives us a chance to renew the pledge of our commitment to Pakistan.
Ladies and Gentlemen!
3. 14th August 1947 was a historic day for the Muslims of the Subcontinent. This day is testimony to the indomitable will of the Muslims to establish a separate homeland under the inspiring leadership of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
4. Let us, on this day, humbly thank Allah Almighty. Let us pray together that He gives us strength and wisdom to preserve and protect the ideology, solidarity, integrity and a bright future for Pakistan. We must stay committed to the ideals of Pakistan and remain ever ready to protect our motherland. I have no doubt that the challenges we face today, will only strengthen our resolve.
Ladies and Gentlemen!
5. The basis of our existence is the ‘Ideology of Pakistan’. Therefore, each one of us must endeavour to pass it on to our future generations. We have a firm belief that by following the golden principles of Islam, we shall progress and win a respectable place in the comity of nations. We should never forget that Islam is the religion of peace. This great religion is the bond that binds us together and not a force that divides us.
Ladies and Gentlemen!
6. For past Sixty Four years, the Armed Forces of Pakistan have performed their sacred duty to defend Pakistan. Our officers and soldiers have displayed great courage, determination and professional excellence in discharging their duties. The rank and file of Pakistan Army draw strength from the contributions of Pakistan Air Force, Navy, civilian law enforcement agencies and especially the people of Pakistan. We could not have achieved this success without the resolve, commitment and perseverance displayed by the people of Pakistan.
7. Let us acknowledge and honour the sacrifices of our brave soldiers and citizens and pay tribute to their families. Their sacrifices, undoubtedly, underscore the nation’s ability and commitment to deal with any threat to the integrity, sovereignty and well being of Pakistan.
Ladies and Gentlemen!
8. Today, our challenges are far greater and complex than ever before. We have to put Pakistan firmly on the path to prosperity.
9. I have no doubt that given our National resilience, abundance of resources and above all the huge reservoir of highly talented youth; we will overcome all difficulties – We will INSHALLAH.
10. May Allah bless and protect our beloved motherland Pakistan.
Thank You and Azadi Mubarak

Rawalpindi - August 18, 2011:
Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani visited Kurram Agency today. His visit was in the backdrop of successful culmination of Operation Koh-e-Sufaid. The operation was launched under strong demand of local population and political administration of the area, against terrorists and miscreants involved in suicide bombings, sectarian killing, kidnapping for ransom and other extortions.
Clearance of Central Kurram will ensure opening of road Thal-Parachinar, and help to create conditions for implementation of Murree Accord for long term peace in the Agency.
COAS also interacted with the troops at Mandan and Manato who displayed firm resolve and rendered supreme sacrifices to end the reign of terror in the area. He also lauded the efforts of Political Administration for efficiently managing around thirteen thousand displaced families.
Earlier on arrival at Kohat COAS was received by Corps Commander Lieutenant General Asif Yasin Malik.
