GBE Monitor

DERA GHAZI KHAN,Dec. 15: A bomb exploded in Dera Ghazi Khan’s Khosa market on Tuesday, killing 21 and injuring at least 60, DawnNews quoted hospital sources as saying. The blast occurred at a taxi stand near the residence of provincial minister Dost Mohammad Khosa. The blast in Dera Ghazi Khan was the latest in a series of suicide and other explosions that have killed more than 500 people in Pakistan since October. The bloodshed has been blamed on militants retaliating for an army offensive against the Taliban in the country's northwest. Local commissioner Hasan Iqbal said Tuesday's explosion appeared to be a car bomb.It left a massive crater and was heard from a half-a-mile away, he said. The home of Zulfiqar Khosa, senior adviser to the chief minister of Punjab province, was badly damaged in the blast, as were several shops in the market. ‘It is a terrorist activity,’ said Iqbal, who said a dozen wounded people were shifted to hospitals. Zulfiqar Khosa was not believed to be at the house at the time of the explosion. 'It was a car bomb. A car laden with explosives rammed into the gate of my residence,' Zulfiqar Khosa said. 'Many buildings located in the area have been demolished,' he said. Raza Khan, a local resident at the scene, said people were panicking. ‘The whole market has collapsed,’ he told The Associated Press by phone. ‘There is smoke and people running here and there.’ Militants have staged several attacks in the eastern Punjab province to illustrate their reach across the country, far beyond the northwest tribal regions bordering Afghanistan. Several hard-line religious schools operate in Dera Ghazi Khan. The town has also experienced sectarian attacks pitting Sunni and Shia Muslims against each other. Dawn News

Steps urged to promote Wakhi language

GBE Monitor

ISLAMABAD, Dec. 14: Pakistan's noted language expert Dr Tariq Rehman on Friday endorsed the aspiration of Pamiri people for protection and promotion of their 3,000-year-old Wakhi language and culture. He said a language endowed prestige and power on a particular community that uses it for everyday communication. Dr Rehman was speaking as chief guest at a seminar on the third day of Wakhi cultural festival at Folk Heritage Museum here on Friday."Your people are giving a call for the right to educate children in your own mother tongue, so that it is protected from becoming obsolete, and it is a cause we support."The linguistic expert recalled two warnings issued by Unesco about the danger confronting indigenous cultures and languages. It had said out of the 6,000 languages spoken the world, 2,500 were about to disappear or have already ceased to exist. According to Unesco, about 3,000 languages irrevocably lose their carriers every year. Smaller community languages face danger from globalisation which wants to impose a monolithic world culture, destroying pluralism. "This in turn provokes reaction of the kind that we find reflected in terrorism," said the linguistic expert. He suggested a three tier education scheme for education in mother tongue with a bridge opening to a more appealing language such as Urdu and rounding off with education in English. But the system must be applied uniformly throughout the country including in the elite schools.A number of Gojali scholars including Neelam Nigar, Amanullah Mushfiq, Nazir Ahmad Bulbul, Fazal Amin Beg, Adil Beg and Shambi Khan also spoke. They expressed the fear that in Pakistan their Wakhi vernacular faced the danger of extinction unless it received proper attention on the pattern of its conservation and preservation initiated in Xinjiang, China. There, they said, the Wakhi language was being used extensively through comprehensive research initiatives.Fazal Amin Beg said the Wakhi language belonged to the Iranian group of languages, assimilating a number of Persian and Arabic words, but recently it had been overwhelmed by the impinge of technology. He complimented women of letters who had contributed to the richness of the language by writing poetry and ghazals. Adil Beg paid tributes to industrious scholar Haqiqat Ali who was the first to publish the system of Wakhi language characters.Through a consensus, the participants asked every Gojali to speak their own language as well as disseminate it to a wider audience through the media.A Wakhi mushaira was also held on the occasion in which Nazir Ahmad Bulbul, Asmatullah Mushfiq, Hyder Murad, Faiz Rahim, Shambi Khan, Fazal Amin Baig, Abdullah Bai and Rehbar Khan took part.

Al Qaeda denies killing civilians in Pakistan

GBE Monitoring desk

CAIRO, Dec. 12: Al Qaeda denied Saturday that it was behind a series of bombings in Pakistan that have killed hundreds of civilians, saying in a new English-language video that such attacks were un-Islamic. US-born al Qaeda operative Adam Gadahn, who commonly delivers the organization's English messages, said the extremist network was beingframed by the US and Pakistani intelligence services for the bloodshed.

'The perpetration of such deplorable acts and the pinning of responsibility for them on the mujahideen, only serves the enemies of Islam and Muslims, who are today staring defeat in the face,' he said, also blaming the media for implicating al Qaeda in the attacks. 'The mercenaries of the ISI, RAW, CIA or Blackwater are the real culprits behind these senseless and un-Islamic bombings,' he added. RAW is the Indian intelligence agency, while Blackwater is the private security firm - now called Xe Services - whose involvement in the killings of Iraqi civilians have tarnished its reputation throughout the Muslim world.
More than 500 people have died in a slew of attacks in Pakistan that began in October, just as the Pakistani army started waging a ground offensive against the Taliban network in South Waziristan, a tribal region bordering Afghanistan. A single truck bomb in the northwest city of Peshawar killed more than 100 people at a market that sells mostly women's clothes and children's toys. More recently, twin bombs at a similar market in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore killed nearly 50. Militant groups such as al Qaeda and the Taliban that operate in Pakistan tend most often to attack security targets. They generally avoid claiming responsibility for assaults that kill a large number of civilians. In a transcript of the video released by the SITE Intelligence Group, a Washington-based monitor of militant websites, Gadahn told Pakistanis their real enemies were secular regimes, corrupt police, judges and tribal nationalists. In Pakistan, where conspiracy theories are rife, support for militancy has only recently taken a downturn, and anti-Americanism is widespread, Gadahn's message may have some resonance. After the market blast in Peshawar, many Pakistanis expressed disbelief that Islamist groups could have attacked other Muslims in such a manner. And in some corners of the Pakistani media, Blackwater has increasingly been floated as a culprit in nefarious events. Gadahn grew up in Los Angeles and then moved to Pakistan in 1998, according to the FBI. He is said to have attended an al Qaeda training camp six years later, serving as a translator and consultant for the group. al Qaeda's media arm, al-Sahab, is increasingly using English-language videos to address Muslims in Pakistan who are unlikely to speak Arabic. Gadahn's message specifically addressed Muslims in south Asia, including India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, Dawn News reported.

Military to end operation in FATA soon?

Waziristan operation nearing end: Gilani
GBE Watch

LAHORE, Dec. 12: Pakistan has wrapped up its army offensive against the Taliban in South Waziristan, but now may send its soldiers after militants in another part of the lawless tribal belt along the Afghan border, the prime minister said Saturday. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said troops may now move into the Orakzai tribal region, which lies further north.
That plan illustrates the intractable nature of the militant problem facing this nuclear-armed US ally. Even as the army pounces on armed extremists in one part of the volatile northwest, they often melt away to other stretches of the rugged, barely governed territory. 'The operation has finished in South Waziristan, now there is a discussion of taking it to Orakzai agency,' Gilani told reporters in eastern city of Lahore. 'We are indeed alive in the most testing times. The retrogressive forces are adamant to stall the process of development,' Gilani said at an annual assembly for students of Government College University. 'Our government is committed to block their path and preserve a culture of peace and harmony in the country,' Gilani said, referring to extremists.Pakistan's army launched a ground offensive against the Taliban in South Waziristan in mid-October - a move that has led militants to carry out retaliatory bombings nationwide. The military still issues daily reports of its battlefield actions there, but it is clear that that the activity has slowed down. Many militants are believed to have fled to other parts of the tribal belt, especially North Waziristan and Orakzai. The latter has been the home base for Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud.In recent weeks, the military has launched several airstrikes against militant targets in Orakzai. Such airstrikes could be a prelude to a ground offensive, just as they were in South Waziristan.Military officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the prime minister's statement.The Prime Minister also said that evidence of Indian involvement in terrorist activities is limited to the Balochistan province. He added that if new evidence of involvement in other areas is found then the government will take up the matter with India. Commenting on the movement of American nationals in Pakistan, the Prime Minister said that no one is above the law. Gilani also said that measures to build the capacity of law enforcement agencies will be instituted nationwide. Dawn

LIFE ON EDGE: Where human resist Hostile Nature[Special Report]

Dwellers of the village forced to live in old huts; the vilage declared potential threat seek rehibilitation
GBE Report
By:Shamsuddin Muhammad

HUNZA, Attaabad, Dec.11:The continuous movement of ground level for last four years has caused houses pitched on mountain slope of Attaabad, an valley on high altitude in Central Hunza.Attaabd has remained an issolated village and an example of negligence of local and regional leadership. It is located at a distanceof 760 Kilometers from Capital and about thirty killometers of Aliaabad and 55 killometers from Karakorum High Way above Sarat village on a steep slope in Central Hunza. The inhihitants of Ataabad village claim that the first cracks were appeared in both human residential and cattle houses on top for the first time when a high magnitude earth quack waves hit the village in 1994, causing to move a certain area about 1000 feet above the residential periphery. The cracks began to widen when the upper overburden slop stated to move, cuasing the soil sliding and eneven leveling of land, gradually. As a result, the settlement affected badly;residential houses of about twenty six and agricultural land propert of sixty six families were forced to evacuate the area. The situation became more serious when Kashmir earth quake of October, 2005 shoke the area and intensified the movement of rocks, destroyed houses. Reports like that of Geological Survey of Pakistan (GSP) have declare the area a potential threat, which can demolish either gradually or haphazardly. These reports have recommended for public safety, animal and agricultural property. Geologists say that Karakorum ranges of Himalaya passes through Hunza and Nagar valeyies in North-West-to-South-East direction. Rakaposhi (7788 meters), the world's eleventh highest mountain is in Southward of the area.The affected area is extremely cold during winter season. Summer remains only a pleasant season for the inhibitants.
Current Dangerous situation: When closely observed, the eastern part of the village is gradually moving, causing enlargement of cracks and a main reason for slope failure. Dozen of residential and five cattle houses have destroyed due to recent slope failure. The bed rock is completely fractured and jointed through tectonic process in the area. Heavy peices of rocks have started to slide down in terms of rock falls. While, the hydrological factors have caused the movement and intensified slope failure as water during rain and snow melt enters the rocks. The movement in network of cracks in the area can be a future calamity and loss of any human life will be a great mistake on part of both consious minds of the region and governemnt simultaneously. It is pertinent to mention that on advice of few narrow-sighted and politically immature elders, the population boycotted the election in a hope to get notice of the rest of masses of Hunza.Yet, the strategy seems irrationale as participation in democratic processes is the first step towards resolution. It is expected that the rulling party will do some thing irrespect of their attitude in terms of boycott only for the walfeware of humanity.

China criticizes rich nations' inaction on global warming

GBE Monitor

COPENHAGEN, December 10: China on Wednesday criticized the lack of action by developed nations in fulfilling their commitments on carbon emissions reduction and financial support to developing nations in coping with climate change."You will find a huge gap if you make a comparison between their pledges and the actions they have so far taken," Yu Qingtai, China's special representative in the UN climate talks, said at a press conference during the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. Developing nations are asking for at least 300 billion U.S. dollars in financial support to help them deal with the impacts of climate change. Developed nations' financial commitments have fallen far short of that goal, and no money has actually been provided. Financial support for developing nations is not "charity work" of the rich nations, but their "legal obligations" under international conventions, Yu said. On emission cuts, the United States' 4-percent pledge by 2020 compared with 1990 levels and the European Union's 20-percent goal are also criticized by developing nations as being not enough. Rich nations have pledged to reduce their emissions to 1990 levels by 2000, but none of them has fulfilled that commitment, Yu said. They should reflect on whether they have the "true political will" to make good on their pledge, he said. "In this regard, what they need to do is some soul-searching.""On the issue of tackling climate change, we have no lack of legal documents, but a lack of sincerity for taking action" on the part of developed nations, Yu said. In response to a U.S. call for incorporating China's commitment into an international treaty, Yu said the United States and other rich nations were trying to "blur the fundamental differences in the responsibilities developed and developing nations take respectively."
