There is no ambiguity in the terrorists' demands: They want territory--sizable territory. And once they get that, they will want MORE. AND MORE.
Numerous negotiations have happened for almost a quarter century. Elders from the tribal Jirgahs have been killed. The terrorists have been appeased many times with concessions. But they are laser focused on their goals, all of which involve gaining sizable territory inside Pakistan as their base to spread to other parts of Pakistan. And any Pakistani, who even remotely is in empathy with them, is either naive or anti-Pakistan.
Tribal elders from the tribal areas right. But some people on PDF are being negative about all tribal people, calling them names etc. And yes I recall JUI Fazlur rehman opposing Fata joining KPK, he claimed tribal people want their own province and not be part of KPK. Pakistan needs to win support of all tribal people, bring in development and slowly finish off all terorrists.
