Protest Mounts Against Taliban Sanctuaries
During the last few years, Waziristan both the southern and northern districts with this name have been in the news for their residents’ powerful agitation against the government’s security policies (mostly on social media and international media, as Pakistan’s military has banned any mention of the area in the “mainstream media”).
The area came into prominence in early 2018 when it emerged as the center of a bold indigenous political uprising against the “three Ds policy” (Death, Destruction and Dislocation) of the federal government toward the seven districts of what was known as the Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA), and six subdivisions in the adjoining districts known as the Frontier Regions (FRs).
