Hope Screen's video: South Waziristan From Terrorism to Tourism

Devastated from the fallout from events such as the Russian invasion of neighbouring Afghanistan in 1979 to more recent insurgent activity, Waziristan has seen many of its residents flee the region for decades. With militants from Afghanistan infiltrating the border, the area at one time was one of the major strongholds for launching terror attacks in Pakistan. Between 2006-2018, more than 60,000 civilians and 5,000 military personnel were killed by militant activity nationwide, while thousands of others were injured and rendered homeless. Following years of operations by the army to root out insurgents, peace for the most part has returned to North and South Waziristan. Natives of the tribal districts are returning to their homeland, optimistic that they can exploit the development potential of the area including tourism and commerce.
