Pakistan Safe heaven for the Taliban

Maulana Sufi Muhammad, chief of the banned Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi, announced a 10-point peace plan for Swat in a press conference in Mingora. Sufi asked the Taliban to remove all their check-posts and not to display arms in the Swat valley. He asked the Government to withdraw troops from schools and other buildings and stop all military operations immediately. He also called on the Taliban and Government to release each others prisoners. The TNSM chief asked employees of the District administration to resume their duties, and the Government to reinstate such Frontier Corps, Police and Government officials who had been dismissed during the past few years. He also demanded immediate compensation for the people of Swat, inviting the NWFP Chief Minister to visit the valley to make an announcement in this regard.

Schools reopened in Mingora and other areas of Swat, but girls’ attendance at both the Government and private schools remained thin. The Swat District Coordination Officer Khushhal Khan said arrangements would soon be made to rebuild the schools that had been destroyed. The Taliban in Swat declared an indefinite cease-fire in the valley. The decision was made in a meeting of the Taliban shura (executive council), Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan said. Taliban chief Mullah Fazlullah announced the decision in a speech that was reportedly cut short when the SFs blocked the transmission of his FM radio channel. Fazlullah asked his men to stop displaying weapons, end their armed patrols and not to attack security convoys or abduct Government officials, according to copies of the speech sent to the media. He urged the Government to restore all officials removed during the unrest in Swat. Fazlullah ordered his commanders to disband their checkpoints, which he said created "unnecessary problems" for residents. The Taliban chief also stopped all non-government organisations (NGOs) from operating in the valley until the implementation of Sharia (Islamic law). "All NGOs should leave Swat because they are creating problems for peace," Fazlullah said in the speech. But he added that emergency medical crews were exempt from the order. Fazlullah called on soldiers deployed in Swat to remain at their bases, vowing to retaliate against any troop increases.

Why a Military Commander in diplomatic Mission?

Karl W. Eikenberry is an American lieutenant general and has been chosen by President Barack Obama to be the next U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan. Selection of a military General on high diplomatic duty shows that war is the precedence of Obama Strategy in Afghanistan.

Karl W. Eikenberry has a good experience as Military Commander in Afghanistan but it’s not clear that how he work in a diplomatic position.

Why Eikenberry?
Karl W. Eikenberry has a good relation with Afghan officials specially his relation with president Karzai is very friendly, it seems that the united state new government under the Barack Obama Leadership wants to Stop more the Blaming Game with Karzai administration and spend a few more months of his work as an afghan president in current political atmosphere.

Because Karzia recent emotional and reactionary actions shows that he can more, Evan he can call a loya Jirga and deiced that no more need for US forces presence in Afghanistan and they must leave the country.

Also he can be effective on the creating an anti Americans atmospheres among Afghans.
