North Waziristan

North Waziristan is a mountainous district in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, bordering Afghanistan. It is part of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), known for its rugged terrain and tribal communities. Historically, it has been a strategic area, but also a region affected by conflict and militancy. The local population primarily comprises Pashtun tribes who practice traditional customs. In recent years, efforts have been made to integrate North Waziristan into broader governance and development programs to foster stability and economic growth. The area’s unique geography and cultural heritage make it an important, yet complex, part of Pakistan.
