Waziristan conflict
The Waziristan conflict involves ongoing clashes between Pakistan’s military and militant groups in the Waziristan region, part of Pakistan’s northwest near Afghanistan. These militants, some linked to terrorism, challenge government authority and threaten regional stability. Pakistan’s military conducts operations to remove these groups, aiming to restore security. The conflict is complex, influenced by tribal dynamics, cross-border issues, and regional politics, often leading to civilian displacement and hardship. Efforts continue to achieve peace through military action, negotiations, and development initiatives, but the area remains volatile due to unresolved security and political challenges.
