I have been looking for an Mahsud or a Pashtun from South Waziristan to answer some important questions for my book. Since I have never been to South Waziristan my knowledge on the topic, I must say is very limited.
1) Are Sararogha and Kaniguram also firmly under the control of militants? I guess they are but would you know when militants exactly came?
2) Which year exactly did the militants come to power in Ladha? When did Ladha start being controlled by Hakeemullah?
3) Is Ladha classified more as a town or as a village?
4) Can Girls below 10 years old go to fetch firewood or water from a stream?
5) Did rah e nijat manage to flush out militants from Ladha at all or do you believe it was eyewash. I mean the news outlets said many militants were killed. Do you think at least some of that was true?
6) I need details on the fall of Ladha fort. I also need information on how it looks and who it is controlled by. Is it still being controlled by Taliban after Rah E Nijat?
7) Distance between Ladha and Makeen? Ladha and Mingora? If you know how long a drive it is from the place to each of these towns.
I have asked these questions of some people through E-mail but I didn't get a response as people don't really know if they should trust me or not or why I am asking these questions. Again I am writing a book. The central character is from Ladha.
