NEFA Foundation Report (Part 2 of 3): "The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan: The Bajaur Case"
By Evan Kohlmann
The NEFA Foundation has released the second installment of a three part report by NEFA Senior Investigator Claudio Franco titled "The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan: The Bajaur Case." The NEFA Foundation has closely followed the evolution of the Taliban insurgency in Pakistan’s west and recent developments in the region, and the result is a series of reports aimed at covering the situation in the field. The second part of this ongoing series covers the evolution of the all-out confrontation between tribal Taliban militants and the Pakistani Army in Bajaur Agency. This section also takes into consideration the creation of a Sharia Courts system in the tribal Agency and the reaction of the state to the militants’ attempt to institutionalize Taliban rule in Pakistan’s FATAs.
The second part of the series is now available for download on the NEFA website.
