JANI KHEL, Pakistan In a desperate attempt to force authorities to take action against the Taliban, members of a Pashtun clan in western Pakistan are refusing to bury their dead and threatening to march on Islamabad.
The primary demand of the Jani Khel, a 60,000-member clan of the larger Wazir Pashtun tribe, is for the government to completely rid the area of militants. But while the government had agreed to this in writing, members of the clan say this demand is far from being met.
Their homeland, Jani Khel, a rural town near the western city of Bannu, is named after the clan. The region borders North Waziristan in close proximity to Afghanistan and is rife with rival Taliban groups years after Islamabad claimed victory in its domestic war on terrorism.
