So another failure of tribal system? Rocket launchers used, what is this, command and conquer generals

I thought land disputes are settled in the court room?

I am well accustomed to data tribal customs so believe me when I say this is very very normal. In fact it stopped during Taliban control because tribes were busy getting killed by ttp. So this fight is a sign of return to normalcy.

That said, usually when such fights happened in past, FC would jump in within 12 hours as a neutral force and fighting would stop. It gave a face saving excuse to both sides to stop fighting, but with army and fc busy fighting, this clash will go on longer with more casualties.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

50% of them aren't even Pakistanis, they are migrated Afghans. Deport entire FATA to Afghanistan and make it into 1 big nature park resort. Problem solved.
