Post-Conflict Rehabilitation: A Case Study of FATA.

      Аннотация: The flailing structure of FATA is mostly attributed to the state’s lack of response to the problems of FATA. It has almost been 14 years since the War on Terrorism was initiated but the state has remained unable to formulate counter terrorism initiatives and rehabilitation programs that could help to reintegrate the area and the tribes into the mainstream Pakistan. It is also important to note that FATA demands rigorous reformation in political, economic and social sense. The political leadership and the military must work together for the development of FATA. It can only be done when there will be a comprehensive plan put forth by the state authorities. The political will to reintegrate the locals and the area into mainstream Pakistan is of utmost importance. To ensure democracy, development and security in the region, the state needs to take active action. The rehabilitation program needs to be initiated with zeal and zest. The locals of the Tribal Area must be engaged in the peacebuilding process in the region because not only they know the area well but also requires state attention to ensure sustainable peace and security.
