Terrorism in Pakistan
Terrorism in Pakistan:
Almost a decade has gone by since our involvement in the US-led war on terror and today we are more vulnerable to acts of terrorism and violence than we ever were. In recent years the trend of growing terrorism has shifted from previously hard hit areas such as KPK and FATA to urban centers where it was previously least expected. Now major cities and sensitive locations are under greatest threat.
Terrorism is not new, and even though it has been used since the beginning of recorded history it can be relatively hard to define. Terrorism has been described variously as both a tactic and strategy; a crime and a holy duty; a justified reaction to oppression and an inexcusable abomination.
Pakistan has suffered greatly at the hand of these terrorists. These unfaithful elements have shown no mercy to the people of Pakistan and don’t intend to. It is the root cause of every mishappening. Pakistan is the only country that has sacrificed more than any other country in the war against terror. These factors include social injustice, economic gap, political instability, religious intolerance and global conspiracies. Terrorist acts like suicide bombings have become a custom of the day. Terrorists have not spared a place. Markets, mosques, educational institutions, offices, all have been targeted.
Root Causes of Terrorism in Pakistan:
There can be two major root causes of terrorism in Pakistan;
• Due to the ongoing war against terror, some people say that this terrorism menace in Pakistan is the just reaction of people living in tribal areas who have been the most affected ones. Now the question is, why do they show such reaction? It is because of the deadly US. The United States of America works like a boss here. Ongoing drone attacks have made it worse to counter produce the terrorism. The concerned authorities have shown complete negligence in this regard and they seem to be in cahoots with the Allied Forces.
• Poverty is one of the root causes
