پیار کا پہلا شہر !! ۔۔۔۔

IMG_4183 امریکا کے شہر واشنگٹن ڈی سی میں گزرا ایک ایک لمحہ خواب سے کم نہ تھا، ، وہاں کی شامیں ہوں یا لمبی واک، خریداری کیلئے اکیلے مٹر گشت کرنا ہو یا ریل بسوں کا سفر، کبھی سائے کے ساتھ ساتھ بھاگنا تو کبھی برستی بوندوں کو پکڑنے کی کوشش، وہ ایک مہینے کا سفر میں شاید زندگی بھر بھلا نہ سکوں۔ نہ کوئی دوست ہم سفر نہ رقیب جان ساتھ مگر ہجر و فراق کے تمام محاذ یادوں کے سہارے اکیلئے ہی سر کیے۔

الغرض اس شہر نے اکیلے پن کا احساس ہونے نہ دیا، اور وہ سب کچھ دیا، جسے میں اپنے شہر میں دیکھنے کی تمنائی تھی۔ یادوں کے جھرمٹ اور سیر و تفریح کے درمیان شہر میں تاریخی خزانے بھی دیکھنے کے لائق تھے۔

In Parachinar, Shias tell Sunnis it is time to come home

As Fata merges with KP, the hope of peace and stability getting more and more stronger in one of the most troubled area of Pakistan, and its no other Place but Parachinar..!! It was a sweet, awkward moment. The brigadier held out the keys. The Sunni tribesman stood there, surrounded by a nervous yet puffed-up crowd. “Take the key, take the key!” someone prompted him. He hesitated for a moment, unsure and aware of too many people around him. It had taken several rounds of talks and confidence-building measures to bring him to this point. But when he did take the keys, three heavy seconds later, a sigh of relief was expelled and people clapped. Everyone knew that years from now, they would all be able to say this was the moment when one place in Fata did something to leave some collective pain behind. This historic ceremony was held last week in Parachinar to welcome back 10 Sunni families who had fled when sectarian violence erupted in 2007 . The fighting left hundreds dead a

ISIS recruits in Afghanistan

Afghanistan can perhaps be labelled as one of the most war affected country in the world. Peace has seldom been achieved since the  Soviet invasion . After the end of the Soviet occupation, the country saw severe infighting over power which led to major internal armed conflicts. The fact that Afghan groups who took arms against the former USSR but later turned to each other for support is not a surprising story. By nature, Afghans are a tough people, they have further been hardened by a war they fought against an extremely powerful foe. It was only natural all major players involved in the Afghan jihad saw themselves fit to lead the nation and reign supreme as well. Many of these warlords were mostly interested in serving their own purposes, rather than work towards the greater good of the locals. But this changed after the  rise of the Taliban  in the mid-90s. Within a few months, a major part of the country was under Taliban rule. They were received in a mixe

How Jamrud Kid Think About FATA Merger..!!

Kids will say the darndest things. And children from the place formerly called Fata are no different.  “Today we joined Pakistan,” said 10-year-old Yasir when we called him up after the news broke of the merger of the two regions into one province. “We got independence today. We have reunited with Pakistan.” He added that the last thing is what he had learnt from overhearing the way his elders were talking at his home’s hujra. The merger of tribal area with K-P is not less than the day of independence for the people of Fata. “We have been given equal rights like other Pakistanis for which we thank Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi,” he said. There have been mixed feelings in the place formerly called Fata. In Khyber Agency the few people Samaa Digital spoke to said they were interpreting it as a “reunification” of sorts. “Shadows of darkness in the shape of the Frontier Crimes Regulation system based on injustice and days of non-accountability are over,” said Najeeb Afr
