Pakistans government has asked civilians in Malakand to evacuate before the army starts bombarding Taliban fighters once again. But as Al Jazeera’s Kamal Hyder reports, lifting a curfew for a matter of hours does not leave much time to pack up a life. (2:33 min)
as always in conflict, the highest price is paid by innocent civilians. Is it even possible to neatly seperate civilians from Taliban with this evacuation? If I was one of the bad guys I would just get the heck out of there too…
hey man, sorry Ive not been keeping up with your video posts. As always youve got loads of interesting looking stuff. I just tried to take in several of the shorter ones for now…. hoping to get back to regular visits again!
Innocent civilians always pay the highest price and what’s frightening and carefully kept quiet is that with every subsequent war, despite what they say about the accuracy of their new war toys, the percentage of civilian casualties have dramatically increased. This is why they don’t ever give us a count of Iraqi deaths.
Oh, no worries about keeping up. Just watch when you have time. At least you caught the great The Genius of Photography series before they took them down.
