I agree to some extent shat you are saying
But then kpk and Balochistan are Pakistani territory. They would remain Pakistani territory. The people living in those regions would continue to live there
So Pakistani state has no choice but to act like a state and finish this mess of terrorism one way or the other
Right now Pakistani policies are of cowardice, indifference and lack of spine. Noor wali is not in Pakistan. He is living comfortably in Afghanistan. Bashir zeb is not in Pakistan. He is living comfortably in Afghanistan. Allah nazar is comfortably living in iran (yeah the same iran which we want to save from american bombings). Pakistani state failed to kill them even after so many years. Pakistani state has failed to force its neighbours in abandoning their support for ttp and bla
This rona dhona about locals is good to some extent but in the end it is state of Pakistan that has failed to draw and act upon red lines. It is Pakistani state whose security and intelligence infrastructure that has failed and even worse failed to do some introspection in all these years. It is Pakistani state that for years tried to hide its incompetence and failure under the banner of shahadat. Locals have fought against ttp and bla too. You might not know them since you don't follow such news but it is a fact. State failed those locals too for years
I am not denying anyone's Pakistaniyat here, nor I am advocating that KPK/Baluchistan should just separate from Pakistan, I am only saying that regular "Educating the Locals" won't change KPK/Baluchistan, because people will just blow the schools or any modern development out in the name of Ethnic encroachment and Anti-Islam or Anti-Pashtoon.
Lets take example of Gaza here, Gazan suffer the worse Genocide of our life time, and yet Gaza has the highest literacy rate in the region, Gaza before the war looks far far better than any city of KPK or Baluchistan, why? was it just the Govt? No its the people that makes the difference, Govt can only put trash cans out on the road its the people who decide whether you throw the Kachra in Trash bins or roads. KPK/Baluchistan both Tribal societies and has very high Appetite for Violence, its part of their culture and day to day lives, they never wants to change, so you can bet that any city of KPK or Baluchistan will never look like a modern city, the main reason is that the people don't think there is a problem, its people like you and me who live outside of these 2 states who sees the problem and talk about it because their actions affect the entire Pakistan.
Every major city has its issues, crimes and criminals including cities like NYC, heck even in Tampa we have Gangs that control their own territory for Drugs and Prostitutions, I have no problem with KPKians becoming criminals, fine go rob a bank or snatch a phone or sell drugs, problem is that KPK has hosted world top tier Terrorists, and there was a time when every major terrorists attack around the world find its roots in North Wazirstan, now that is the major problem. Govt can only try to build schools, roads and bridges but locals seems to have no issues when TTP blow it up, they clear the rubble and move on, just in past 2-3 years countless schools were blown up by TTP, they made video and brag about it, now haw many KPKians came out to protest ? have you even see 5 people who even on social media with large following doing any podcast against the TTP ? nope.
Now as for TTP/BLA leadership, you can kill them and we should but they will put another figure as head of these orgs, will it change anything? Nope nada. You can't just expect to take out Noor Wali and think TTP will collapse, Hakim ullah mehsud was killed, Mullah Fazal ullah and baitulla mehsood all were killed did TTP collapsed ? nope they regroup under new leadership and came out stronger and create new networks in KPK, why ? and how ? its because of the local support.
Think of it like this, Indian Muslims are been bitch slap by Hindu's every day, and yet we can't pay them to create a insurgency with effectiveness of 10% of TTP why? because the Indian Muslims as cucks as they are they don't want their children to just strap a explosive and blow themselves up, even in Gaza where there used to be suicide attacks they mourn their children, they fight the strongest army not by blowing up Israeli schools or massacring Children, you can't just pay someone to go ballistic on kids and civilians unless you are nuts and have a crazy appetite for violence, and this plague the KPKian and Baluchistan society for decades, they refused to change, they don't even ack there is a problem hence we never came even close to a solution, we can kill as many T's as we want but the women in Afghanistan/KPK will spread their legs and pop up 10 more kids who will be suicide bomber ready by 2040. So how do you deal with that situation? Will you go and start killing women? why no one ask the question how people in Tribal areas just reproduce and send their kids to madarsas and they don't care where their kids are, what are they doing ? who their friends are? I mean i grow up in Karachi and my Parents actually gives a shit about me and all my brothers, hence my parents will lost their shit if i didn't come home, or who my friends are and who i am spending my time with, now will we say that Parents in Karachi are different than KPK?
Bhai yes state has failed, sure... ISI has become pathetic, but problem is how are you gonna fight the insurgency with people like KPK and Baluchistan providing all kind of support to them? no just logistics but manpower too? weapons are build in homes, locals won't help you, they help T's more. Terrain is brutal, people refused to acknowledge or change, you have American forces (worlds best) next door in Afghanistan, did they change anything? CIA/MI5 and other world best Intelligence agencies work overnight, with unlimited funds, did they turn Afghan's into civilized human beings? they are still chopping people heads off and beating women for going to school, so that idea that us killing more T's and taking out their leaders will fix KPK/Baluchistan is flawed logic, the best we can have is few years of peace followed by few years of turmoil, it gonna be a cycle of peace time vs the violence, because I don't see the people of KPK suddenly waking up and realizing that they have a issue, just you wait here and you see how quickly few people from the ethnic group will come and attack me for saying that locals are main cause of insurgency, they will blame Govt, ISI, Army and policies of 1990's or Afghan jihad , thanos but won't want to look forward and ask what can we do? and this is just a forum, I am talking about the on ground change, there are many example around the world where people protest and bring change, poverty ridden societies has change their destiny (China) but nowhere when Govt ignore a local area they resort to suicide bombing and chopping heads off, this is a Pakistan and mostly KPK/Baluchistan specific phenomenon and will remain so.
Now to the solution : Yeah take out the leaders of TTP/BLA, and kill as many as you can, new leadership you can try to negotiate which won't work, hence we can just keep killing their foot soldiers and local commanders but there won't be any perpetual peace in KPK/Baluchistan, the region will remain a hot and cold, a high-low intensity insurgency hotbed.
