THE END of farari camps in Balchistan

[HAIDER]

ISLAMABAD: President General Pervez Musharraf, Thursday said that all the ferari camps have been eradicated from Balochistan and also hoped for the successful completion of the action against the extremists in Kalam and Swat.

Speaking in a government TV programme, President Musharraf asked the nation to stand along country's law enforcement agencies against extremists and terrorists for Pakistan's safe and secure future.

To a question about the reported death of Balach Mari, the President said the details were still coming in. He, however mentioned the decades-old enmity between the Mari and the Bugti tribes that has led to loss of several lives.

He said in Balochistan earlier 95 per cent was "B" area, with no control of police, but now the situation has reversed, with majority of the 'farari camps' shutdown.
"Unless the people of Pakistan rise against extremists and terrorists, the threat from them, would continue," he said.

The President said the country's armed forces were well equipped and fully prepared to protect the country, however it faced a greater threat from extremists and terrorists
internally than any external threat.

"Terrorism is to be fought forcefully we have to eliminate terrorists," he told the gathering comprising mostly students, professors, Nazims and businessmen.

He said the vast majority of the nation was against the terrorists and need to be weaned away through political, economic and administrative measures.

The President said a combination of force and dialogue were being used against the people who are still caught up in a time wrap.

He said the capability of country's intelligence agencies, both physically and technically have developed to a high level and has arrested several would-be suicide bombers, terrorists and masterminds.

President Musharraf said extremism reflects rigidity of mind, wherein the extremists force, particularly their views on religion, on others and those with such extreme views in
the end, become terrorists.

"Islam spread into the region by Sufis, who used to convey the message through love and peace," he said.

The President mentioned the multi-pronged strategy being pursued by the government to tackle the issue including putting an end to misuse of mosques, ban on publication, distribution of hate literature, amendment in syllabus and mainstreaming of Madrassas.

To a question, the President said the people of Pakistan have sacrificed a lot in the global war against terror and said the international community too realizes it.

“They [international community] recognises our role, but also wants us to eliminate those who are hiding in our mountains," he added.
The President said the security situation was threatening tourism and economic activity in the country.

"It is the common man, working from a kiosk who is suffering the most," he added.

Perfect defination!! reflects his quality as an insightful leader!
All extremism in our society is a sign of the weekness of past governments.
Activities of rouge Balauchi sardars were never teckled before by civilian governments in order to have political coalitions.
Army has always been doing operations in balauchistan but president Musharraf made the killing shot.

All succesfull are not the best managers, what count is not only managing skills, it is also the managability of the task and determination to give more than 100%.
This guy has always amazed me. He is tackeling so many impossible things at the same time and is still determined at least this is the message we get!!
Western socities are far easy to manage than Pakistan. I wonder if this man takes up the job as a head of state of any western nation, he will definately rose them to new heights.
