Pakistan

In total violation of Swat truce, Taliban are back in Swat. They have been openly patrolling in the area, looting and killing locals and government officials alike, and occupying public and private property/buildings of their choice. They left no choice with the government but to move Army to Swat to deal with them. Over one million locals are expected to be migrating from Swat, Buner and Dir areas. It is hoped that this time government remains firm in its decision to cleanse the area off Taliban through military operations unlike earlier lukewarm attempts of use of force and negotiations.
