Excellent piece this one. Poor Kohistani people who are unable to find jobs there must get attention from the provincial tourism department to develop tourism in that area. Tourism indeed promotes economic activities in the region,

The day Sandy Hook mass shooting incident occurred, there was a mass stabbing in China. Difference is everyone who was stabbed in China survived and we all know the outcome of Sandy Hook; 27 dead.

Gun are simply more efficient killers. Their presence in society is a continuous reminder that anyone who succumbs to an anger bout can pick up that gun and harm an individual.

In any case, I hope REDD takes off in Pakistan. Our natural resources are precious and cannot be replenished easily. Few understand this and even fewer take action. Thank you Rina Baji for protecting our future.

Once a friend in oil exploration, who worked in kohistan area told me about some practice of mutilating ears and nose for ‘objectionable’ interaction with opposite sex. Terrified of this he used to turn the opposite direction whenever a female passed by along with a herd of sheep etc. and remained in that position until danger is no more.

It is the Land That Time Forgot.
.
“The Hatfields and the Coys They was reckless mountain boys.”
America’s longest feud was between the Hatfield clan and the McCoy clan.
They shot at each other on first sight. Lawrence of Arabia was a film about Arab tribal feuds.
If you are looking for a reason there does not have to be one. Just an itchy trigger finger is enough.

Will this case really be reopened and will something actually be done about it if there was a murder of the five girls? I am assuming that the girls were actually killed and one shouldn’t assume anything in a situation like this. But it’s very easy to assume when an article is written about the terrible treatment of women in Pakistan.

Anyone know why that is?

Have anybody thought of introducing solar cookers? You can save lots of firewood. Also, in Sindh they are using home based biogas from cow dung for cooking.
