Under Obama pressure, Pakistan mounts a civil War: soon 1,000,000 refugees produced: what fresh hell is this?
by Andrew Taylor
U.N. officials are waiting for the 'army' of refugees to swell to a million as a flood of terrified civilians from the Swat Valley grew yesterday amid a military offensive against Taliban fighters. Under intense Obama administration pressure the military offensive and subsequent humanitarian crisis of displaced internal refugees continues to escalate.
The Pakistan army said its full-scale assault had killed more than 170 militants in 24 hours, with Pakistani jets and helicopters pounding the Swat Valley and neighbouring districts; the UN says the area will soon become the the world's biggest displacement crises.
It is time for internationalists and people of conscience to hit the streets protesting this new Obama "Af-Pak" policy that is manifestly criminal and shameless.
What are we waiting for?
