So, I just read online that Pakistan are submitting to the Taliban's interests, somewhat, when it comes to the territorial area of North Pakistan, .....
Pakistani officials have agreed to ban music and letting young girls go to school for a simple education. This type of decision making just makes me want to pull my hair out, I mean puh-lease!, what the hell are the Pakistani Government thinking?! (not alot by the looks of it).
I understand that the Taliban are a very dangerous and ever-present force in Northern Pakistan, and are by far easy to deal with and combat, they have caused much turmoil since their insurgency in 2007, by bombing many schools, which have been built with Pakistani citizen's money, based on their own want for a better educated society in order to further themselves amidst the globalization process.
But to take away fundamental values from people, in order them them to befit a ceasefire for a short while, is incredulous, in my opinion.
An education should be every person's basic, fundamental right, and should not be played on or used as a bargaining chip by anyone. I mean, what to the Taliban think? that little Pakistani girls are going to get an education and use that to defeat them? Is that what they are so afraid of? Women finally beating the oppression that they so unwillingly endure everyday?
Well, if that is true, I hope it works, I hope that these girls fight back and show them that the female population can be ambitious and get to places in the world with a smart mind, and with integrity.
What do the Taliban have? mis-used texts from the Qu'ran; they exploit the one thing that they claim to love so much - what does that show?
Their 'peace-deal' with the Pakistani government officials, count as a ten day truce, whilst they instill Sharia law in the Swat region.
I agree that a truce, along with the Taliban laying down (not surrendering), their arms is a good move, as many of the innocent and poor civilians, as if often the case, were getting caught between the blows from either side, and had resulted in over 1,000 deaths and casualties.
The President, Asif Ali Zardari, claims that they pulled back troops as it was the wish of the people, but it really doesn't take an idiot to work out that that is definitely not the case, I mean, as a politician, I'm shocked that he can't lie better.
Much of the word from the province, is that the military defence could not defeat the Taliban, or protect the people of Swat, hmmm, I'm wondering who conceded defeat then?
But, my question is, what next after the 10 days? What's the next goal that the Taliban want to achieve?
They now have the Swat region, and a few others surrounding it, under their belt, how long till they have a hold of the whole of Pakistan?
Does the President, not have any fears for his country? He should know more than anyone that the Taliban will stop at nothing when trying to take what isn't theirs, that's just the ignorant,selfish mentality that they have.
How long till the political 'officials' of Pakistan, wake up and bloody well realise, that the country is not a game, with the civilians as pawns.
These are real people's lives that they are playing with, and real futures. Pakistan could, potentially, really make something of itself if only everyone wasn't wrapped up in their own selfish games.
