Dialog mit den Taliban?
“Would you like to live under Taliban rule? If yes, you are most welcome to come to Taliban-occupied Waziristan or Swat. If not, why do you float pro-Taliban suggestions like the dialogue which will force the Pakhtun to live under their inhuman order one way of the other? Or perhaps you believe that the Pakhtun are naturally cut out for brutal life under the Taliban.”
So äußert sich laut Farhat Taj eine weibliche Internally Displaced Person. Sie reagiert auf die Forderung die pakistanische Regierung solle einen Dialog mit den Taliban aufnehmen
One of these advocates of a dialogue between the government and the Taliban is Masooda Bano. After reading her article in The News titled “What a Thought” (Jan 16), I sent her an email asking the following questions.
1) Which Taliban/militant leaders in the Pakhtun areas are you proposing for a dialogue? Please name those leaders.
2) Please elaborate why you think there should be dialogue with those leaders. Please elaborate one by one with reference to each leader?
3) If not the Taliban/militant leaders, who else are you proposing as partners in the dialogue?
4) Under what conditions should a dialogue with Taliban/militants take place, or should it be unconditional?
5) Are you from the NWFP or FATA?
6) If not, when was the last time you came to the NWFP or FATA?
She never replied to my email. If she had replied, I would have had a better idea of the logic behind her suggestion for the dialogue. One person with whom I discussed her suggestion said the writer is backing the Taliban by asking for what they themselves ask–a dialogue. “The Taliban ask for dialogue just to get more time and space to reorganizes,” said a woman.
Konkrete Beispiele nennt Masooda Bano in der Tat nicht. Velmehr beruft sie sich auf die Auslassungen des britischen Außenministers David Miliband. Schuld an der Situation sind ihrer Ansicht nach der Unwillen von Regierung und Militärführung, gegen die Taliban vorzugehen. Mit militärischen Schwierigkeiten sei die Situation in der North-West-Frontier Province nicht zu erklären. Man müsse sich nur daran erinnern, dass die Armee sehr wohl fähig und bereit war, belutschische Separatisten niederzuwerfen.
Der pakistanische Senat beschäftigt sich ohnehin mit den wirklich wichtigen Dingen: “Senate passes anti-Israel resolution”
