Separately, Pakistan sponsored Good Taliban killed Idress Wazir—a young students of Law the other day in D.I. Khan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in order to create rifts among the Wazir and Mahsood tribes, aimed at undermining the Pashtun Long March in Islamabad. However, the wiser tribal elders and youth, headed by Ali Wazir who father—Chief of Ahmadzai Wazir along with other family members have been killed by Pakistan’s war proxies did not let any division between tribes and in reaction, launched a crackdown against Good Taliban. Thousands of thousands tribesmen from the two mentioned tribes gathered and set Taliban offices and cars on fire in D.I. Khan.

The international community should politically the Pashtun Long March, adding this is the momentum to eradicate these terrorist camps run by the government of Pakistan.
Additionally, thousands of thousands Pashtuns from Khyber Agency staged a big demonstration yesterday near the Torkham Crossing-point against the security forces of Pakistan. The protesters asked Pakistan to withdraw its civil and military administration from Pashtun areas, under Pakistani occupation. The ongoing Pashtu Spring in Pakistan is the outcome of Pakistan’s brutalities against the innocent Pashtuns. Pashtuns in Pakistan want complete independence from Pakistan and urges the US led international community to support them directly and trigger Pakistan in the court of justice for conducting slow motion Pashtun genocide and violations of human rights violations in FATA. Protesters chanting slow of independence and express their hatred against Pakistan imposed terrorism and militarism. The only way to abandon Pakistan’s project of terrorism is required support to Pashtun, Baloch and Sindhi ethnic populations in Pakistan to bring durable peace and stability in Afghanistan and around the region.
