In the Wana area of South Waziristan the sit-in of tribals and political parties against the unrest and target killing continued for the third day. The protesters demanded that incidents of extortion, murder and kidnapping in Wana has to come to an end and said that there has to be immediate restoration of peace in the region.
The Pashtun leaders accuse the Pakistan Army for creating unrest in the tribals areas and that they are behind the killings, forceful abduction, etc. The protest comes as terrorism is again rearing its head in the country, especially in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. Pashtunistan is the geographical region in Pakistan and Afghanistan inhabited by the Pashtuns. Some of the worst killings of Pashtuns have been carried out by the Pakistan Army.
