REPRESSION IN PAKISTAN
BY USMAN KARIM
Countries have army our army have country Pakistani people are really in pain and bleeding after such horrible repression of army. “Democracy was not convenient for us. With violence, the army is in a position of power. They are in the power. Under terror, their allies are the mayors,MNA, MPA , MINSTER, CHIEF MINSTER judiciary establishment, PM their other allies are the wali…(Sunni saints) all banned and extermist groups.army had all the power” in this report we will try our best to do compare all situation created in Pakistan , “There exists in Pakistan an apparent power and a hidden power. All our institutions are fictitious. Only the military institution really exists. When one talks about the military institution, it is a ‘handful’ of people who, in the name of the army, control the whole of Pakistan and not only the institution it represents. But everything they did, they did it with the complicity of the political power in the framework of a contract: we get the power and you, the responsibility. This is to say: army decides, and you are responsible.” Behind those ‘decision makers’, the army and the services appear as a sum of power structures mutually keeping watch on each other. In fact, each of these military structures to fight their own war through continuously building alliances and compromises. The ISI occupied a central place in this fragile game: whatever the service which conducted arrests, torture and executions (police, MI, IB ...) the information was transmitted to the services of the ISI, The ISI was formally under the authority of the army, but the war allowed it to widen its scope of action: it became its source of information, its brains and its clandestine armed wing. Because the services also had at their disposal the most effective means of influence on political and economic life, with an infinite margin for action and decision, its chiefs still today hold an inescapable power. seems to be dirty work of Pakistan secret agencies and manipulating with CIA and OTHER intelligences,. western ,CIA and EU know all dirty game and tactics which it’s ally muss raff is playing in Pakistan (WAR ON TERROR) these tactics was really used by army in Algeria from 1992 to 2004 The population was kept in fear and the military power presented itself more than ever As the only protection against ‘Islamist fundamentalism’. Since 11 September 2001, the ‘Islamist threat’ was turned into revenue; it guarantees unconditional support from Western states and aid, including in arms. The state of emergency, never repealed until today, prevents any substantial concession which could lead to democracy and the Rule of Law.” Outside the other sector, the only institution that truly functions... Tightly covering the society, controlling an important part of external trade, appointing many high-level civil servants including ambassadors, infiltrating the media, the police, state-owned Companies, political parties and Islamist armed groups suspected of being behind several attacks and repeatedly carrying out dirty tricks, it misinforms and manipulates the public Opinion as well as the presidents by submitting deliberately erroneous or falsely alarmist Reports …”This plan consisted at first (early 1998) in intensifying secret practices to watch and weaken the political government in Pakistan and creating panic in country through sending the EX PM benazir Bhutto in exile by agency top man NAB chief saif ur rehman (telephone-tapping its leaders, tailing operations, intensifying divisions within the party salafists/djazaarists, etc. — neutralisation of leaders through political takeover or corruption and so on), while pretending to be negotiating with the party’s leaders. In parallel, the king party (all corrupt politician in single party) was supported through the granting of subsidies and better access to the media. The agencies also put in place a disinformation strategy to tarnish the image of the political leaders and worker through NAB AND CORRUPTION CHARGES and keep its members away from sensitive posts: dissemination of false statements attributed to the BALOUCH AND FAKE TALBIAN MILITA, calls to take up arms (outdoing actual statements, already radical), publication of images and speeches showing the extremists as illiterate, etc. While some major RADICAL GROUP like Taliban and Shari at nafaza Shari at muhmmdia, lal MASJAD, kurram agency sectarian violence, FANA ,SUICIDE BOMBING BOMB BLAST EPISODE, leaders repeatedly made statements hostile to democracy, seen as ‘ungodly’ according to their conservative vision of Islam, HIDDEN hands manipulations exaggerated them to given image of all Islamist supporters as a shadowy and dangerous conglomerate seeking the institution of a ‘totalitarian . Repression – the Main leaders and hundreds of Islamists were arrested and detained in June and July 1991 IN Algeria and in Pakistan after 9/11 incident – was lead by the different intelligence network which adopted a new structure, the Created, this coordinated its actions with the police and all law enforce agencies Through these manipulations and repression, the Generals hoped to stir up the to the moderate people of Pakistan and bring the agenda of radical Islam(all fake militant groups) through manipulation agencies in Pakistan members and frighten the population with horrors allegedly committed in the name of Islam. This plan was further facilitated by the fact that many leaders never dissociated themselves clearly from the radicals’ violence.
Resistance movements).new anti terrorist force was created to give more jobs to die hard retired SSG people and induct hundreds and thousand retired army men to new lucrative jobs around Pakistan. Doing so, the Generals were getting ready for a possible war of eradication, through policy of unhindered deterioration. To win it meant waiting until conditions were ripe for the elimination of the Islamist movement (just on paper) and of opposition from main stream political forces and for the granting of all powers to the Generals. This very occasion was given to them by the USA AFTER THE 9/11 incident, just study what’s happen in swat NWFP most beautiful hilly resort and peace living people of Pakistan Despite the deployment of forces –tanks in cities, shelling in rural areas, napalm offorests to destroy refuges, etc. -, the command seemed to loose control of the situation in some areas. And many policemen and civil servants, as well as civilians, were murdered by nafaza shariat muhmaddia leader mulana fazal ullah However, many were also killed upon the initiative of… to’ motivate the troops’. While a ‘loyalty reward’ plan was set up in the army (pay increase, distribution of different kinds of bonuses…), the agencies chiefs used Islamist groups already inflitered and controlled and clandestine death squads (see below) to assassinate (suicide bombing)IED REMOTE CONTROL BOMBING members of the army and the police (in particular those elements deemed ‘dubious’) — the murders were In order to definitively muzzle all elite opposition to the explosion of State terrorism, Intellectuals, political leaders, journalists, doctors… became in turn victims of attacks (always attributed by the official propaganda to Islamist armed groups and although they were backed by some leaders of the Taliban militia operating in north and south wazirstan , they were most probably carried out at the initiative of the hidden hands ). Moreover, hidden hands created bogus counter-terrorist groups (supposed to have emanated from the ‘society, but which were in reality only labels to ‘camouflage’ the murders of Islamist supporters by hidden hands which never discovered in Pakistan , laqiat ali khan assassination in 1951 was also done by ISI . THEY BREAK THE COUNTRY THEY HANGED THE PM they assassinated benazir send the government home when they want when they like now they create the panics in country
The TALBIAN – deliberately associated with the ALQEDA – was presented in the press as the assassin “of intelligence and culture”. The fatwa declared by the Islamists against civil society members who had supported the military coup arrived just when needed and could be use as an alibi for this campaign of terror. It had the expected results: most of the intellectuals in PAKISTAN and in Europe remained silent, and many of them brought their unconditional support to the regime’s repressive policy. Violence by armed extremist groups, whether manipulated or not, justified the abuses in the fight against terrorism; it gave the Generals the opportunity to rein in the true democrats(“The objective, for the army’s top command, is to make everybody feel unsafe, ‘bunker’
their lives and limit their expression”) and to make the population, as well as the army,
adhere to their anti-Islamist policy. But the war was dirty and repression fierce. In many urban neighbour hoods, it fostereda movement of support towards the Islamists armed struggle, although it was also at times imposed through coercion. Thousands of young people joined the underground resistance and manipulations of all kinds reached such a high level that management of the violence slipped out of the hands of the security services. AFTER BECOMING THE ALLY OF USA WAR ON TERROR , the fight against terrorism was raised to another level: the aim was to make the population who voted for the its political choice, while involving it in the war. The government benefited from unexpected support of the ‘international community’: after having promised BY USA 10 billion dollar package, the IMF accepted in to reschedule part of its external debt (at an estimated $ 40 billion), upon a pressing request fromUSA, the Paris Club in turn signed “an agreement to reschedule PAKISTAN’s debt”. Thanks to this fantastic economic breath of oxygen, the ‘Janvieriste’ Generals acquired considerable means to strongly increase state sponsored terror. Thousands of people were illegally arrested, systematically tortured in police stations or AGENCIES safe HOUSES , and especially in centres most of them were murdered. Any suspect ought to be killed. Arrests took place day and night. The motto was ‘to terrorise terrorism. A collective punishment strategy was put in place, “To destroy the terrorists’ according to intelligence agencies base and keep the people away from the ANY POLITCAL MOVEMNET of change in Pakistan , to make ‘fear switch sides’ the military and the police kill the suspects’ relatives25.”armed groups. the war: problems were solved through weapons and in impunity. just you see the insurgency in balouchistan 1st killed their children and now want bring a new militia kalpoor bughti.. and other militia men created to kept the terror war on going . In early2001 to 2008 , almost all real opponents had been eliminated, the Islamist resistance against the military Coup was definitively discredited in the eyes of the national and international public opinion alike, and the Generals had obtained the support of Western countries (particularly thanks to the campaign of terrorist attacks in Afghanistan BRITIAN and India carried out by the these extremist group created by hidden hand ISI the power struggle between the groups at the head of the country and their policy of terror were once again taking a heavy toll on the population.
JUST SEE THE MAIN ACTORS OF COUP IN PAKISTAN IN 1999 THE GRENAL AND HOW THEY REALLY DONBE GREAT WORK IST THE MAKE THE anti terrorist law and all power is given to law enforcement agencies to eliminates the opponents on the name war on terror This service, endowed with unmarked vehicles and substantial technical resources, was composed of the following sections: visual surveillance and tailing section (the PCO monitors the evolution of agents on the ground, records and films their contacts with their recruiting agent); locksmith section (used for searches …); secret photography section; telephone tapping section; protection section (protection from all contact with an agent). years of war which followed the suspension of the electoral process in January8 2008 after assassination of benazir Bhutto in 27 December 2007 , this illegal structure played an important role.” It then turned into an instrument of terror, and focused on making journalists, policemen, judges, intellectuals and even members of the military. It harassed them and frightened them with the same methods used by the Islamists, thus spreading confusion: threats, anonymous calls, sending shrouds and soap – assign that their death was programmed – and through a rum our that there existed a black list of people to murder, established by the pro Taliban movement and other sectarian group . Equipped with communication systems, weapons and ammunition, it also participated in the abduction of those thwarting the plans of the killing the president muss raff and than assassination of Karachi corp. commander It is important to recognize some key differences between the two countries‏
A very influential, almost commensensical, theory of the state explains the recent riseOf political violence and social unrest in Pakistan in terms of a 'crisis of governability'
or a 'collapse of state power'A great deal of political rumor in Pakistan is about agencies. Intelligence agencies are believed to be the real rulers of Pakistan, the secret manipulators of politics. They are believed to be omnipresent and that even seems true. Elements within the military and intelligence community -- no longer sure that a weakened Musharraf has the power to protect them -- felt threatened by Bhutto's promises to make their activities more transparent. They too could be behind the assassination. just we need to study the side by side situation in Algeria from 1992 to 2004 the crime committed by Algerian army gernals and role of muss raff junta in the war of terror This is not just any nation that threatens to join the ranks of "failed states," a category that includes countries like Somalia or Burma. Pakistan, home to 165 million people, is marked by explosive contradictions. It is both extremely poor and a nuclear power; it is a close ally to the United States and a breeding ground for Islamist violence -- Bush and Bin Laden country at the same time. according to projected by CIA, ISI ,MI ,IB, AND OTHER SECRET AGENCY CELLS are really playing dirty game like Algeria AND ALL WESTREN AGENCIES the reality and clear picture is really different Pakistan's military leaders are among the world's most corrupt, and yet the US has continued to send state-of-the-art weapons and billions in aid to Islamabad. Robert Gallucci, a senior government advisor in Washington for many years, has said that the Islamic Republic of Pakistan "poses the single greatest threat to the national security of the United States." Newsweek calls Pakistan the "world's most dangerous country." According to Fareed Zakaria, an expert on Islam and the Middle East, "if there is a central front in the war on terror, it is not in Iraq but in Pakistan The questions are also vital to understanding—and winning—the ongoing war on terrorism. The war is not a conflict with a single nation or League of Nations. Nor is it a police action against a random assortment of criminals or criminal gangs. It is a war in defense of our way of life against enemies who oppose that way of life, and who oppose it from common cultural and religious motives just to pretend that it’s religious element but other side of story is really shocking, in Pakistan there is agencies who create such atmosphere and projected that’s every one around the world think the war on terror is really it’s really proxy war of USA PAKISTAN agencies collaboration against it’s own innocent people and it is important to recognise some key differences between the two countries. Algeria, with a population of some 35 million, is much smaller than Pakistan but its per capita income is about four times higher. It ranks as the world’s 16th largest oil producer and 6th largest gas producer. Rents from oil and gas production have created a rentier economy akin to that of most Gulf states, allowing the Algerian state to spread its largesse across the citizenry in a way that is not possible for Pakistan. Located at the relatively peaceful northwestern tip of Africa, Algeria does not have an external security problem like Pakistan’s conflict with India. Even then, it has a relatively large military of about 125,000 troops and spends more than 3 percent of its GDP on defence. The presence of a large military has made it difficult for Algeria to make a successful transition to democracy. The war of independence from French rule was waged by Front de Liberation Nationale (FLN), a coalition led by a Francophone elite that surprisingly relied on religious forces to mobilise the population. Independence came in 1962 and Ben Bella, a war hero, was elected as the first president. He was deposed in a coup in 1965 by Colonel Houari Boumediene, another war hero.As in Pakistan, Islam is closely interwoven into Algerian politics. Algerian Islamists emphasise the religious nature of native resistance to the French, beginning with the call by the religious brotherhoods in 1830 for a jihad to liberate Algiers. This continued through the War of Independence. Capitalising on this link, Boumediene pursued a strategy of co-opting the Islamists. Boumediene’s successor, Colonel Chadli Bendjedid continued this approach.Algeria’s army regards itself as the guardian of the national interest. Oil revenues feed into a vast patronage networks, giving the state the upper hand in deciding the classic issue of politics, i.e. “who gets what, when, and how.” In Pakistan’s case, the military has accomplished this by creating its own corporations, by appointing retired senior military officers to civilian posts and by granting them land at throwaway prices.The year 1988, when Zia’s plane crash transformed Pakistani politics, also proved to be a watershed in Algerian history for entirely different reasons. Declining oil prices forced the regime to eliminate subsidies, disproportionately affecting the urban working classes and leading to riots in all major urban areas. The army brutally suppressed the rioters. This damaged its claim of being a force of national liberation. Belatedly, it called for multi-party elections, hoping that the arrival of democracy would herald an end to the state’s sagging fortunes. For the first time in its history, Algeria witnessed a relatively free political atmosphere with a flourishing press, competitive political parties and intense debate on the direction of the state. But events would prove that the state was not prepared to respect the electoral results. In the municipal elections of 1990, the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) garnered 33 percent of the popular vote. In an even greater upset, it captured 44 percent of the parliamentary seats in the first round of legislative elections in December 1991. When it became clear that the FIS would win an absolute majority in parliament, the military stepped in and nullified the election. President Chadli resigned and a state council took power. This ushered in a civil war that would consume 150,000 lives. On a smaller scale, this was a replay of Pakistan’s 1971 tragedy.Since 1992, the Algerian military has retained power through controlled and contrived elections. Colonel Liamine Zeroual won the presidency in 1995 in elections boycotted by the Islamists. In 1999, the military put forward Abdelaziz Bouteflika as its candidate. He had been called ‘The American’ during his prior tenure as foreign minister. Bouteflika was elected unopposed. He declared an amnesty which led to many rebels laying down their arms. Violence abated but a state of emergency remained in place.Bouteflika was re-elected to the presidency last year. But by polling 83 percent of the vote, he caused many to question the results. The independent paper, El Watan, called it a result worthy of Kim Il Sung, the former North Korean leader. Algeria’s tragic impasse persists. Behind the façade of elections, a military clique continues to wield power. President Bouteflika has to operate within “red lines” defined by the military.While each nation is unhappy with militarism in its own way, Algeria’s political parallels with Pakistan are astounding. They are also equally discouraging. To use elections as a front for military rule, Pakistan’s army invented the doctrine of Basic Democracy in 1959. It enshrined it in the 1962 constitution. Had Ayub patented the concept, it would have made up for Pakistan’s lack of oil revenue. Benazir Bhutto may have been Pakistan's last chance for peace. Her assassination on 27 December threatens to plunge the country even further into chaos and violence -- with potentially dire results for the rest of the region and the world. She was many things for many people. For her supporters, Benazir Bhutto was a Princess Charming with a soft, silky voice and a beguiling appearance, promising them God and the world. For the servants and laborers on her estates in Larkana, she was the mistress of the house, as impatient as she was demanding. And for her political allies and opponents alike, Bhutto was an instinctive politician, adept at gauging the political mood and unwavering in her determination to achieve her goals. It was something of an about-face for the Bush Administration. Since the Sept. 11 attacks, the US has pumped $10 billion (€6.7 billion) into Pakistan in order to guarantee that Musharraf and his army would become a reliable ally in the war against Islamist terror. Still, despite 50 percent of those funds being handed to the country's military, terror has remained a major problem in Pakistan. The US, in short, has seen little return on its investment. Despite warnings from Washington, Musharraf repeatedly entered into tactical alliances with radical forces in his own country.1st assisnation of more than 1000 religious leader who are really moderate in Pakistan was targeted same like Algeria Meanwhile, America is no longer so convinced of Pakistan's value in the war on terror. The US Congress imposed new restrictions on aid to Musharraf. In stark contrast Bhutto promised the US clarity and a lack of ambiguity. To her Western mentors it seemed that she had finally made a commitment to democracy and perhaps she had. Her editorials in leading Western newspapers, combined with her speeches and interviews, indicated that she was heading firmly in a democratic direction. It was possible that in her third stint as prime minister, she was going to complete a political transformation. In addition to resisting government control, insurgents in Waziristan and other tribal regions have managed to convince hundreds of soldiers and police officers to switch sides. The ceasefires between tribal leaders and the military, meant to bring peace to the volatile region, have been completely ineffective. The terrorists' influence has since spread to the picturesque Swat Valley, once a popular vacation spot for Pakistanis from the capital Islamabad. In the months leading up to the Bhutto assassination, suicide bombers were blowing themselves up every few days -- and with ever-increasing frequency. All countries have armies, but here, an army has a country,". Generals have ruled Pakistan directly for 33 years of its history, and they have exerted power behind the scenes during the country's 27 years of "civilian" rule. The military, with its 619,000 troops and its claim to a quarter of Pakistan's annual budget, is showered with privileges. Higher-ranking officers, in particular, would have a lot to lose should democracy take firm hold in Pakistan. There is hardly anything in the country that the officers don't own or have a stake in. The army, operating in the guise of foundations, owns chemical factories, power plants and a bank. It is the country's largest real estate developer, and it owns cement plants and shoe factories. It should come as no surprise that Pakistan's brightest and most ambitious opt for a military career, in a country where officers are the true national elite. wave of uncertainty, though, is now washing over that elite. Pervez Musharraf, their commander-in-chief for many years, recently responded to pressure exerted by both Washington and Bhutto by removing his army uniform, turning him into a civilian president. Frustrations are even more deep-seated within the intelligence service, which still harbors many Taliban sympathizers -- indeed, the ISI helped create the Islamist group. The rumblings within the Pakistani military and intelligence communities can hardly bode well when it comes to the question of all questions, the security of Pakistan's nuclear weapons. Only two years ago, Musharraf boasted that he had "taken the world's best security precautions" with the country's nuclear weapons. But Western governments are not nearly as confident. If Musharraf is toppled, no one knows what would happen to his team of officials who control Pakistan's estimated 65 nuclear warheads."The truth is that we have no idea how many of the security precautions depend on Musharraf and how many are institutionalized," a senior US government official told the New York Times only a few weeks ago. It is known that the warheads are stored separately from the delivery systems, as are the detonators. Intelligence officials also believe that there are at least 12 different storage sites for nuclear materials in Pakistan. A center for nuclear safety, part of a $100-million program funded by Washington, is under construction. But what good are any of these precautions if the security plans fall into the hands of al-Qaida or other radicals?Western experts caution against placing too much faith in Pakistani promises. Five years ago, Musharraf assured the world, just as he is doing today, that a leak in Pakistan's nuclear program was inconceivable. At exactly the same time, though, Abdul Qadir Khan -- called the "father of the Pakistani atom bomb" for the role he played in helping Pakistan become a nuclear power in 1998 -- was doing a lot of traveling. For Khan, a national role was not enough. An Islamist sympathizer, patronized by ISI Khan arranged deals with North Korea, Iran and Libya -- supposedly without the knowledge of senior military officials -- really joke with nation and sold construction plans and centrifuges for enriching uranium on the black market. In 2004, when the CIA presented evidence of Khan's illegal activities, Musharraf had him placed under house arrest but did not strip him of medals he had been awarded for masterminding the country's nuclear program.Khan is unlikely to face criminal prosecution. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which serves as the United Nations watchdog on issues relating to nuclear weapons, would like to question him about his deals, but the Pakistani government has allowed neither the UN inspectors nor American intelligence direct access to Khan.Benazir Bhutto had also indicated her willingness to compromise on the issue, and had even discussed the possibility of revoking Khan's immunity from prosecution. If Khan, the man who loves the bomb, had talked, senior intelligence and military officials all the way up to Musharraf could face scrutiny. Could this have been the motivation behind Bhutto's killing?we will really discuss all factor later just we are putting the case 1st and than we will start discussion all this matter according to rule and regulation . The other central question that divides the country is its social structure. Since independence, major landowners have presided over their estates like Medieval European fiefs, treating their employees as little more than slaves. Women, meanwhile, are often confined to the home under an especially strict application of the rules of purdah, or segregation of the sexes. Like in Saudi Arabia, Pakistani women who are victims of rape can expect to be accused of adultery. These rules never applied to Benazir Bhutto, "The Incomparable." Born in Karachi's best hospital in 1953, pampered by the staff at the family's estate in Larkana, she lived in luxury and freedom. Her liberal mother, a beauty of Persian heritage, introduced her to domestic and foreign literature at an early age. Her father encouraged her to study historic archetypes like Joan of Arc and contemporary female leaders like Indira Gandhi. Bhutto, in fact, met Indira Gandhi, the woman whose fate she would later share in such a tragically similar way, as a teenager while accompanying her father on a state visit. Bhutto referred to the Indian leader admiringly as "a woman made of silk and steel." My daughter will go into politics and become prime minister," said Benazir's father, who assumed the same office in 1973. Benazir herself never hid her conviction that she felt called to higher office, not just because of her father's wishes, but because God had entrusted her with a mission. "It is not I who chose this life for me," she wrote in her autobiography, both proudly and seemingly resigned to her fate. "It chose Me.” let’s start the study of my work from Algeria prospective.
