A peaceful future for Pashtun children?

Krama Jehan Che Da Pukhtun Zalami, 

Da KhPalo PeGhlo HaoSalo Sara Zam (Hamza Baba)

For whom I make the world, a Pakhtun of age, 

With my youthful spirit, I go.

The people of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa are in the midst of a game of life and death. They challenge  patriotism and  torn apart friendships. They are ready  to make sacrifices at the cost of power and death make the nation alive. They are encountered with ruthless and brutal force of terror leaving them at immense crises of their times for over ten years. They need to be engaged in power sharing and decision making processes and be and encouraged to tell our story by identifying and analyzing the root causes  of war being played on their land and transform it to a peaceful and prosperous future of our people and nation.

Governance and Leadership Question in Pakhtunkhwa

 In my view, the previous PPP/ANP/MQM  govt  (2008-2013) along with the opposition of PMLN deserve appreciation for the following reasons.

• Greater decision-making authority has been assigned to provincial governments. The Eighteenth Constitutional Amendment has devolved a number of key functions to the provinces. In total, functions in seventeen federal ministries have been devolved, including Agriculture, Education, Environment, and Health. In addition a greater share of revenues has been passed to the Provinces through the National Finance Commission Award (NFC) in order to enable them to perform these functions.

•  As expected, the devolution had/has posed institutional and capacity challenges at the provincial level, and meeting these challenges had and  will require concerted efforts to enhance sub-national capacity and institutional development, which varies across provinces.

In Pakhtunkhwa the ANP  govt failed  because  they didn't hold local bodies elections and thus did not devolve  governance  to district levels.   On the party organizational and policy fronts, neither ANP energized the party with the Jazba of youth nor they bring comprehensive policies on economy, trade, foreign affairs, peace and conflict, just to name a few.  

I am saddened that ANP is/was punished heavily by both the state and the people alike (in May 11, 2013 elections). But I am  worried that the entire Pashtun Qaam will suffer because Pashtuns are not the primary constituents or a serious stakeholders in PMLN and PTI power play.  

What could be the next steps?
