THE CONFUSION
Oct. 28, 2009 Two men, fleeing a military offensive in South Waziristan, fight while waiting in line to get handouts at a distribution point for displaced residents in Dera Ismail Khan, in Pakistan's restive North-West Frontier Province. Pakistani forces killed 19 militants in an intense clash in South Waziristan on Monday while insurgents aiming to divert the army's attention launched a raid in another northwestern region, officials said.

Kamal maseed has passed away. Kamal Maseed was a respected singer/musician from Waziristan, sadly he was expelled by the Taliban for his peaceful message about the Pashtun people, which irritated them, and aimed to have him killed on many occasions.
Waziristan use to be a beautiful cultured place where Music was sung on every street corner, people would go high up into the mountains and speak poetry, women would walk freely to the rivers and the wells to collect water/clean their clothes.
That all changed as the influx of foreigners from Arabia,Uzbekistan, Chechnya and Punjab poured in and changed the region for the worse.

You do understand, the reason why women were prohibited from venture outside their homes to collect water, was due to a decision made by the Taliban Shura in Miram Shah with accordance to Sharia law. Just to let you know that.
