Over thirty thousand children in the remote Tirah area of the Khyber Agency, part of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in Northern Pakistan, have waited four years for protection from polio, a viral disease that is sometimes referred to as ‘infantile paralysis’ due to its crippling effects on children.
(...)
Up until this year, children in all seven FATA agencies have been the worst victims of the Taliban’s ban on the oral polio vaccination (OPV), which the organisation claims was a ploy by the United States to render the recipients impotent and infertile, thus strangling the growth of the Muslim population.

Est-ce que les enfants qui contracteront la polio suite à cet épisode seront comptés comme victimes de la CIA ou comme victimes des talibans ?

Pakistan: 250,000 displaced by army operation in Khyber Agency

By Ali Ismail 13 April 2012

Fierce clashes between Pakistani troops and Islamist militants in the country’s northwest tribal areas have forced more than 250,000 people, most of them women and children, to flee their homes since January, according to Save the Children.

Much of the fighting is taking place in Khyber Agency, where the army has been struggling since 2009 to defeat the local warlord Mangal Bagh and his supporters. Pakistani troops have used heavy and indiscriminate shelling in their attempt to crush Bagh’s militia, killing an untold number of civilians, reports the local media.
