The 14 Points to “Peace”

When the Government of the NWFP made a secret deal with Sufi Muhammad, there were responsibilities on both sides of the agreement. We just wanted to remind you of the 14 points that were agreed to and you can judge for yourselves if the Taliban is true to their word or not.

  1. The Sharia law will be imposed in Swat, including the whole Malakand division;
  2. The Army will gradually withdraw security forces from the region; 
  3. The government and the Taliban will exchange prisoners; 
  4. The Taliban will recognise the writ of the government and they will cooperate with the local police; 
  5. The Taliban will halt attacks on barber and music shops; 
  6. The Taliban will not display weapons in public; 
  7. The Taliban will turn in heavy weapons like rocket launchers and mortars to the government; 
  8. The Taliban will not operate any training camps; 
  9. The Taliban will denounce suicide attacks; 
  10. A ban would be placed on raising private militias; 
  11. The Taliban will cooperate with the government to vaccinate children against diseases like polio; 
  12. The Madrassa of Maulana Fazlullah in Imam Dherai would be turned into an Islamic University; 
  13. Only licensed FM radio stations would be allowed to operate in the region
  14. The Taliban will allow women to work without any fear.

Those that are in bold have not been fulfilled by the Taliban.
