Nothing cannot stop their uprising. Pakistan Army is now in action, already said to have recovered Buner valley but still no time for relax. Although it is not confirmed yet, but even if it is true the trouble of Pakistan is far from over.
Taliban has refused to give up their guns and pushed into Buner and another district adjacent to Swat last month, intent on spreading their rule.
They are continuing their fight in spite of Pakistan Army is on strike. Pakistan said they are moving slowly to avoid civilian casualty, but no one is feeling so confidence on militaries action. Pakistan Army is very unpredictable and also they are not totally under the governmentīs control. Rather government is somewhat controlled by the military. This is the tradition of Pakistan since its birth for more then sixty years ago.
Pakistanīs western allies are very worried about the recent Taliban insurrection. Particularly Pakistanīs once close ally USA. U.S. is now very much concern about its nuclear facilities though the Pakistan is insisting those are totally safe and remain under full government control. Their assurance is not convincing Americans. About eighty-seven percent (87%) of U.S. voters are now at least somewhat concerned about the security of nuclear weapons in Pakistan as the radical Islamic Taliban continues to make gains in that country. Sixty percent (60%) said they are Very Concerned.
Last month, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accused Islamabad of abdicating to the Taliban while President Barack Obama expressed grave concern the government was "very fragile" and unable to deliver basic services.
In this critical situation experts are believe that may be the last days of Pakistan is very imminent and those days are not very far.
As the army crackdown is underway, the peace deal between Taliban and the Pakistan government is on the blink of collapse. After loosing more than 170 militants a Taliban spokesman in Swat said elements in the military and the government were trying to sabotage the peace process to please the United States.
As the Taliban forces are advancing, many Pakistani traditional cultures are also came under threat and about to wipe out. Many areas in the north are now facing strict Islamic law and so no music, no movie is allowed there, women education is not considered as decent thing, women are force to wear Borka. Many local leaders are implementing Talibanīs order to stop what they called "Un-Islamic" activities.
General people in Pakistan are not very convinced what Talibanīs are claiming. Although most of them believe America is against Islam but Talibanīs extreme Fatwa (opinion on Islamic Law) is very controversial. Many Pakistani believe Taliban is not always consistence with Islam. But less earning and less educated people are not feeling the same. They think strict Islamic rule is the only way to come out of their poverty and the best for their future.
World however is anxiously waiting to see the last result of Pakistan drama. Unless a miracle happens Pakistan is surly ditching into a difficult age.
