Afghan bandits snatch more goats in Chitral
CHITRAL: Bandits from across the Afghan border continued their looting spree in the Kalash valley for the second day on Saturday and herded away about 2,500 goats from a pasture in Birir.
the repeat incidents of looting in peaceful Chitral and Kalash valley show an interesting trend which cant be dismissed as random or opportunistic .. these attacks resemble the much less reported incidents of harassing and looting of foreign tourists which were again traced back to so called "bandits from Afghanistan.
the question is.. are these bandits getting intel and logistical support from Kabul regime? the scale of their operation , intensity and frequency suggests its well organised and planned. but why and to what end?
- Spread the defending Pakistani forces thin into Northern parts of the Pak- Afghan Border?
- Avenge Tourkham border defeat by opening a front in an undefended area?
whether Pakistani state likes it or not.. this area needs to be defended and Afghan regime needs to be confronted before situation escalates to a situation which leads to something similar to tragic murder of foreign climbers which had a signature foreign hand due to its long term strategic implications but nothing came out since the perpetrators were locally sourced bar those who were there but remained in shroud.
Kalash community is self help, peaceful and resourceful and deserves equal protection from state of Pakistan and Afghan "bandists (Northern Alliance thugs) must be dealt with lead and steel so that they loose their appetite for our livestock and poor Kalash community.
Why are the pakistani govt and security forces sleeping?
How can those afghans come repeatedly into pakistan and enjoy their looting spree?
A strike is long due sir. If can pass on the message to GHQ please do. Pakistanis demand that Afghanistan should be taught a lesson. The least they can do is to ban everything going from Pakistan into Afghanistan and pressurise this stupid government of ours to throw Afghans out.
That's pragmatic solution if the state can't provide them enough protection then at least it should provide them licensed arms and skills to defend themselves.Not a good idea buddy, that is not how it is handled.
