Hamid Khan, a native of Tirah Valley in Khyber District, was killed by the Pak military for taking a few of his goats to a nearby mountain. This incident highlights the ongoing violence against Pashtuns, who are frequently targeted without cause. Reportedly, Hamid, son of Yasin Malik Deen, was shot and killed by gunfire from Punjabi Pak Army checkpoint on the Tera Adam Kheil and Malik Deen Kheil border.
In protest, his body was placed in front of the brigade headquarters. Earlier, a young boy named Zia ur Rehman was also killed by the Punjabi Pak Army in Khadi village, North Waziristan. Since the Punjabi Pakistan Army occupied Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 1947, the Pashtun community face genocide, with fears that the situation could worsen.
The killing of Hamid Khan is part of a broader pattern of violence affecting various ethnic groups in Pakistan. Alongside the rise of terrorism, there is an ongoing genocide of Baloch, Pashtuns, Sindhis, and Kashmiris. The Pashtun community continues to suffer from arbitrary violence, reflecting the broader tensions and unrest in the region.
