The military operation in tribal areas forced the residents to flee their homes and live in IDP camps for many years.


The operation had ended and most of the areas been declared clear, but the tribal residents say they have been victims of the mines in their areas.

The residents say the mine incidents have significantly increased and the government is not doing enough to clear their areas from mines.

Islam Gul Afridi talked to the victims and officials; please listen to the full report here.
