Pak Afghan Border Clashes Continue

. . . .
Is it still under TTP control?
I don't know about other roads but Bannu is and was not under TTP control ever, why did they impose curfew on Bannu -MiranShah road every Sunday? I know some incidents on that specific road where many people (Residents of Bannu, not from Miran Shah) died because they can't get urgent medical treatment because they can't get to Bannu city for medical checkup.
A person previously a supporter of PML-N is now supporting PMAP/ANP and their separatist agenda, once said to me, on each Sunday I can travel to Kabul but not to my own city.


Even I know where these militants stay at night when they cross the POROUS border.


check posts ok. but does they have signed with Army that we will only travel on Sunday, that's why Army imposes curfew only on Saturday/Sunday?


You may not know what curfew actually mean in practice
Well, now that you admit check posts are necessary, let's move to the curfews.
There are several reasons for curfews on fixed days, including supplies reaching the FOP (forward operating positions) supplies go from Peshawar all the way to army bases/camps in FATA, hence curfews are often imposed to avoid attacks on these supplies, (remember, FATA is an area of conflict).
Apart from supply lines, troop movement happens on a weekly basis too, this is when they are at their most vulnerable as large trucks carrying large number of troops are vulnerable to IEDs and suicide bombers. (Again, there is a conflict going in FATA, it might be heaven compared to 2013, but there is still a conflict going on). If you're going to ignore the fact that security has improved in FATA then it's up to you, but remember countless have been killed, and now Pashteen can protest happily, otherwise someone would've blown him up (or maybe not, considering Pashteen decides to show up when Taliban are taking a pounding).

Now if your exPMLN friend could stop visiting Kabul, he would be doing us a great favor (also this "I can visit Kabul, but not my own city" is a standard excuse used by ANP; I suggest you call him out) such visits are often perceived as malicious in their intentions.

Before we didn't have anything over there.

The thing is we are building a fence and initial constructions are in areas where TTP is mostly concentrated. That means that attacks by TTP are frequent. In fact very frequent. But this isn't the only problem here. Tribes across the border are not happy and attack the fence and soldiers. Militias are very common.

This year Pakistan has been shelling khost and paktia and nangahar very often according to afghan media and local source of afghans.

In fact recently the locals very openly objected that the govt is not stopping the fencing and if the ANA won't do anything then they will and it seems they along TTP took action by attacking an inspection patrol. The afghan army intervened only when zazi maidan tribal chief asked for their help in mid day due to the shelling that followed this attack.

The thing is our eastern cannot be compared to the hellish danger that our western border and its fencing is bringing and it will always be like this. If not the ANA then the locals would attack the fences and posts. We are now forever tied down on our western front.

A 2610km long border. This is going to be very hard for us
But we have to fences and.check our border better to deal withem at oir border then inoir cities
