The problem is that when the Saudis, Americans and Pakistans trained and armed the Afghan jihadists, the jihad was waged in Afghanistan and the refugees and training were based in the Pashtun areas of Pakistan.

So over the course of ten years, a jihadist military complex was created, and this encompasses everything from refugee camps, training facilities, madrassas etc

When the Soviets withdrew, the Pakistanis/Saudis kept the pressure on the Afghan govt, and keep pushing the Islamists to take Kabul, when really the priority should have been reconcialition. The Americans washed their hands off the matter and fuked off.

After Afghanistan went to shiit in the 1990s, these same jihadists were used by the Pakistani state to fight the jihad in Kashmir. The Afghan jihadists either put their guns down or joined the dog fight for Kabul while the intl ones went to Bosnia, Kashmir or went back home to launch attempts at insurection there (Libya)

The govt writ, never too strong, became incredibly weakened. During the Taliban era, the Pakistani state had even more of an incentive to keep those structures intact, this time to support the Taliban regime. The training camps were back in business, and the Pashtuns mobilized by the thousands to fight, again, in Afghanistan

Fast forward to 2001, and now another foreign power is in Afghanistan, and again, these structures are maintained.

At some point, a few of these Pakistani side Pashtuns said hey, why are we distinguishing between the Americans, and the Pakistanis who support the Americans, and so you have the backlash there.

Of course, I refuse to believe the 500,000 strong Pakistani army is incapable of re establishing its writ if it needed to, and besides it is no position of legitimacy to try non violent means. Meanwhile, mobilizing thousands of jihadists for an "Islamic" govt in Afghanistan means eventually a few of them will say, hey why not create one in Pakistan

These guys have no value. They have no jobs, no education, no empowerment. Theyre like gang bangers. The only thing thats given them meaning is fighting, and thats all theyve done is fight. Their societies destroyed by war, their tribal structures in disarray

Then youve got the ones who are making a killing of the war. The Old tribal chiefs are dead or marginalized. You got the youngstas who are strapped and theyre not trying to give away the power theyve accumulated. Youve got business interests (smuggling, drug trafikking) that only thrives if there is a void in authority. Then you also got independent tribal types that are on some fukk anybody who comes through here, tip

Pakistan and America loved these guys when they were fighting the Soviets and Indians, and now they wanna sweep em under the carpet

Good luck

Poor girl just wants an education. I mean, even the fukking Saudis give their women some form of education.

What is with those people in South Asia? Backwards like a motherfukker, and I can't really blame it all on religion either.

Wow. Hopefully she will spark a movement even it's just mental seeds for now.

its patriarchal culture when taken to the extreme, i mean think about it, a more educated woman is a more empowered one, more likely to be economically empowered, thus having more rights and authority

some of these cats dont like that shyt, it means less authority for them

 

[mbewane]

Seriously though, who was surprised?

It wasn't about education bruh- she became a face for secularist, anti-Taliban sentiment, and not just to her people, but to all those who watched the BBC report and related news. They were trying to send a message. I don't think they care about education one way or the other- they just want to maintan and expand their grip on the region.

I'm kinda surprised that she's so english-fluent and articulate given she's in that region actually... I guess they must have some good schools or something

But in any case her civic sense and courage is outstanding certainly more brave than any political/military fight I'm willing to pick

I was listening to bbc in the car earlier I guess the Pakistan Taliban has now labeled journalists open to targeting due to the coverage.
They were previously allegedly not targeted.
