  1. Long live Baloch; down with post-colonial oppressors.

    The war against terror is a complex battle and it calls for more innovative solutions which can offer a better understanding. To fight terrorism the need for intelligence sharing is vital and this cooperation should come from the grass root level. Where the community will report any suspected activities to the law enforcement agencies.

  3. Amna Zaman says:

    The war on terror is surely a complex where terrorism is done in name of religion, state and hatred. Citizens of Pakistan need to dismantle strategies of terrorist groups by terming Pakistan as a secular state.
