Kaschmir-Verhandlungen gescheitert?
Von solchen Verhandlungen habe auch ich nichts gehört. Es soll sie aber gegeben haben, behauptet Steve Coll vom “New Yorker” (nach IBN-Live). Mehr noch beide Länder seien kurz vor dem Abschluss eines Abkommens gestanden, mit dem der Kaschmir-Konflikt durch eine Autonomielösung und die Öffnung der Grenze hätte entschärft werden sollen. Dann aber sei die Innenpolitik dazwischengekommen:
The article portrays Musharraf as an enthusiastic supporter of the deal who succeeded in winning converts among Pakistan’s sceptical military leadership. Yet, just as the two sides were beginning to consider how to sell the plan domestically, Musharraf was compelled to seek a delay.
In March 2007, as New Delhi and Islamabad were discussing plans for a historic summit, Musharraf became embroiled in a controversy with his country’s Supreme Court. He eventually sacked the chief justice, triggering weeks of protests by lawyers and activists.
What was thought to be a temporary setback soon proved to be far more serious. “Rather than recovering, the general slipped into a political death spiral,” culminating in his resignation, Coll said.
