2,300 IIPM students get jobs
About 60,000 refugees have fled Taliban-held Malakand to safer places, reports Shahid Hussain
Momin Khan, 26, a construction worker from Amankot, Mingora in Swat had to walk for six days from his village to reach Mardan in North West Frontier Province (NWFP) to save his life from the Taliban.
He is currently lodged in “Swat mutasareen camp” in Gadap town, some 40 km from Saddar, central Karachi. The camp was established on May 28 amid strikes by some Sindhi parties demanding that internally displaced persons (IDPs) should not be allowed to come to Sindh. About 150 refugees are lodged here but they are keen to return, if they had a choice.
“I left my village on May 7 and reached Mardan on May 13. To my shock, I was not able to get a tent for my family in the refugee camp. I had no option but to come to Karachi,” Momin Khan told TSI.
“I don’t know from where the Taliban have come to Swat. We never saw them before. Maybe they came from Afghanistan or India,” he said. Amjad, a 10-year-old from village Kokari in Swat, narrates a similar tale after putting aside the Quran he was reciting at a tent along with many other children. “We came here because of the fighting between the army and Taliban.
I was scared of mortar shells. I saw three people, including a woman, being killed by these shells,” he said. “My school was destroyed. Now I live here along with my two brothers and a sister. My father is a chowkidar (gatekeeper) in Dubai," a terrified Amjad said.
Like many others, Amjad wants to go back to his village as soon as it’s possible. “It’s very hot here and there is no water,” he said. But Amjad has justifiable fears.
“If the war does not end in Swat I will be stranded. How will I go back?” he queries.
The “Swat mutasareen camp” has been established in a deserted area. Police and para military forces have been stationed there so that they are not attacked by extremist elements. Living conditions are pathetic. At least 10 per cent of internally displaced people (IDPs) living in the “Swat mutasareen camp” are suffering from respiratory tract infections.
