Swat Updated

Salam again to all.
It is with great sadness that I say that the situation is deteriorating day by day.
Many Policemen have resigned from their posts in fear of the 'Taliban'.
Even the traffic police in Mingora have left the city vacant and are no longer seen on duty as a result of the fact that there were 9 of them killed in the past month alone, leaving the city in total chaos.
Last night, we heard heavy blasts of mortars being fired as the 'Army' was targeting places in a far region of Shamozai here from the Chakdarra post.
Here in Swat, many are being killed under the name of Taliban, but are they the real Taliban? No one knows, no one knows what is really going on?
'Taliban' commanders are being seen moving freely in front of the Pak Army and not being stopped, even at times these 'Taliban' are seen being saluted to by the Pak Army, which really makes people think ", are they real Taliban?
So bottom line is that lawlessness prevails, and the presence of the Pak Army has added disorderliness rather than peace to the region.
I see that next is a strong agitation from the people of this region, as they see the militancy getting stronger and stronger as a direct result of the presence of the Army.
Elsewhere, in Waziristan, US drones are bombarding every day, killing scores of people.
