Phone call

Maham Ali

Faria called me from Swat yesterday night. She told me that her khaloo was shot dead by taliban 2 days ago because he was a member of the 'aman' society in swat. Faria's khala is only 22 years old with a 6 month old daughter. She told me all of this very calmly which i find very alarming. She further said that the real taliban are roaming freely in front of the army and the army is doing absolutely nothing and the 'terrorists' who are actually killed have got nothing to do with the talibans and are innocent people. She also kept on saying that our pakistan army is really weak that they cant even defeat a few hundred taliban and it seems that the government is playing some dirty game with the people of swat in order to get rid of us.
